He was licensed as a probationer by the Church of Scotland Presbytery of Penpont on 10 May 1669 but was not ordained.

Vogan gives a summary of the doctrines in the sermon. Mr. Macneill was licensed by the Presbytery of Penpont, l0 May 1669. He was in the fullest sympathy with Macmillan, and joined him in his "Protestation, Declinature, and Appeal," tabled before the Assembly 1708. The United Societies consistently refused to ordain him, no Presbytery having been constituted, and when he died, 10 December 1732, he had been a probationer for sixty-three years.

On 13 December 1638 he was deposed and excommunicated by the Glasgow assembly, whose authority, in common with the other bishops, he had refused to recognise. In addition to the ecclesiastical offence of signing the declinature, he was accused of drunkenness and incontinence, and of "using of masse crucifixes in his chamber".ib. i. 154. On 23 August 1639 he and the other Scottish prelates drew up a protest against their exclusion from parliament.Hist. MSS. Comm. 9th Rep. App. ii. 254.

Instead, on 16 February 1737, he left the Church, and two days later joined the Associate Presbytery of the Secession. It was he who read the Secession's Declinature on 17 May 1739 to the Assembly of the Church of Scotland. As an objector to the Burgess Oath, he became the Moderator of the Associate Presbytery's Synod, picking the Anti-Burgher side when it later split in the Breach of 1747. In 1740, he, alongside the other secessionist ministers, were all formally deposed from office by the Assembly.

His publications, though few, were marked by a careful and scholarly attention to sacred prophecy and its connection with the events of Divine Providence. In 1843, he published "Characteristics of the Witnessing Church," and "Characteristics of Surrounding Communities," in the Contending Witness, a magazine edited for the Presbytery by David Steele. He also published An Abstract of Grievances, &c.;, published in New York, in 1825, likely immediately after his "declinature" and may be the "communications" he said he had to make, when departing Synod, the morning of August 9, 1825.

In November 1638, on the eve of the meeting of the General Assembly at Glasgow, he was at Hamilton, with Walter Whiteford, Bishop of Brechin. He was one of the six prelates who signed the declinature addressed to the general assembly, and on this and other grounds was deposed and excommunicated (13 December) by the assembly, the same assembly which abolished Episcopacy in the Kingdom of Scotland. Maxwell was charged with bowing to the altar, wearing cope and rochet, using "the English liturgy" for the past two years in his house and cathedral, ordaining deacons, giving absolution, fasting on Friday, and travelling and card-playing on Sunday. His accusers described him as "a perfect pattern of a proud prelate".
