UNDONE SON OF PERDITION.
IT is to be observed, that the Scrijjfciiro makes mention of three Judases ; the first is Judas Maccabeus *
the second Judas the son of Jo^fcph, the reputed
father of our Lord; and third, Judas Iscariot, thb
son of a Tanner, living in depute M Joppa, or Japho,
a beautiful sea-port on the west of Oanaail, about
thirty-four miles North ivest of Jertisal^ ftoni

ot Orasctdo^ Lewis of France, and C4odfrey of
Boulogne, and others, repaired and adorned it;
but in these unhappy times, what was one year a
beautiful city, was oft in the next a heap of ruins.
At present, and for ages past, it hath but a bad
harbour, and is remarkable for nothing biit ruinous
remains of antiquity. This1' Judas who betrayed
our Lord, was his mother's first child, who dream
ed that the child in her womb would prove both a
thief and a murderer, and bring her and her generation to shame and disgrace : which so terrified her,
that she was like to go distracted ; but her husband
strove) to pacify her, bidding "her leave it to God the
�4
wise disposer of all things, who may take it away in
its infancy or endue it with more grace than ever
to be guilty of such dishonourable actions.— This
somewhat quieted her, and she was soon after delivered of a lovely male child; but under his left
breast was the following curious marks viz. a cross,
a gallows, twp daggers, and several pieces of money :
this likewise terrified his mother, who concealed it
from her husband, determining, as soon as she was
able, to go to a magician and know the signification
of these surprising marks. The child being circumcised, and she purified, according to the old Jewish
custom, she dressed herself in disguise, put a veil on
her face, and taking with her a kinswoman, went to
the magician's, and being introduced to him, she related her dream, her fears and the marks ifpon her
son, desiring the interpretation of the dream, and
the signification of the marks.
The magician replied, I am no interpreter of
dreams, neither do I justly know the signification of
marks ; and the whole of your story appears as
strange to me, as it can be amazing to you ; but if
you can tell me when the child was born, I will calculate its nativity, and see what it pretends. He
then called for pen, ink, and paper, and sitting down,
calculated his nativity ; and when he had finished it,
he shook his head, and his countenance waxed pale ;
which being perceived by Judass mother, she said
unto him, do not deceive me, but tell me true, hide
nothing from me, whether it be good or evil.—Then,
said the magician, to your sorrow, I have seen the
rules of the planet that reigned predominant at your
son's birth, that he would prove a thief and a murderer, and what is worse, he will, for lucre, betray
the Lord of Life ; for which act he will afterwards
despair of mercy, lay violent hands on himself, and
�5
come to a shameful end.—These words pierced the
mother's heart, who wringing her hands, wished she
had never been born, rather than to have been the
mother of such an unhappy child; and asked the
magician what she could do to prevent the bringing
of shame or disgrace on her family ? He told her he
knew no way of prevention, but by laying violent
hands on it, which might be now easily done in its
infancy and in a manner so as not to be discovered.
To this she replied, that she would not for ten thousand worlds commit such an act of violence on her
son ; for if her husband had the least suspicion of it,
he was so fond of Judas, that he would never be reconciled to her any more ; yet for the sake of her
family, she would by some means or other prevent it
without destroying it; and then told the magician,
that if she had a small boat made like a shell, with
a cover to go down close that no water might get in,
and a little vent to let in air at the top, and room in
it to lie soft and easy, she might without danger send
him down the river Jordan, and so commit him
wholly to the protection of providence, which might
conduct him to some distant shore, into the hands
of some tender persons, and thereby preserve his
life ; and if he afterwards commits those base actions
the shame will fall on his own head, as no one will
know from whom he is descended. The magician
highly commended her for her invention, and said
he would procure such a boat for her ; and-she promising him a good reward for his assistance, returned home. After she was gone, the magician
sent for one Rot, a very cunning Artist, a Joiner bv
trade, who undertook to make the boat, drawing
out with his pencil, the form of it, carried it home
with him, wrought upon it in private, and having
soon finished it, brought it to the magician's house,
�6
who paid him largely for it, and sent a semnt to
the house of Simon, who told Judas's mother, that
the matter which his master and she spoke of was
now finished. She understanding him, went next
morning to the magician's house, viewed the boat,
and liked it well, saying it was very convenient for
the end intended, but seemed perplexed how she
should do it privately, and keep it from -discovery,
as death was the consequence thereof. Her kinswoman begged her to leave that -to her, and all
should be safe enough ; for we will feign the child
sick for a day or two, in the meantime we will make
some inquiry in the city for the dead body of some
poor male child which we will buy of its parents,
and have it privately brought to our house to be
buried ; in the meantime we wffl dispatch your son
to sea, and make him believe the other child to be
his, and that he died during his absence ; so having
it buried, the matter can never be brought to light.
The mother liked the contrivance, and going
home with a promise af a g^eat reward, and her
friendship lor life, she swore her servants to secrecy,
and then said she, we must- act in this manner.
When your master comes home at night, I shall
put on very dejected looks, and when he asks the
cause, I shall tell him that Judas is not well, and
that I am apprehensive of his death, which you
must all testify and confirm. She accordingly put
this scheme into practice at night, when flier husband did all he could to comfort her, telling her that
they were young, they might, be parents of many
children : and going up stairs to see the child, the
maid then pinched its neck till it was black in the
face, and thinking it in convulsions, gjave it over
'o death, As soon -as he was gone out in the
morning, the mother and kinswoman took the child
�and went to the magician's house, in order to put
the child to sea. They put on him many warm
and rich garments, with an upper coat of oil, that
no water might penetrate it; and the magician, on
a piece of parchment, wrote the following words:
MY NAME IS JUI)AS.
which his mother sewed round his neck and pu^
him into the boat, and shutdown the coyer. At
parting with the child the mother was almost distracted, wringing her hands and keeping bitterly,
but being comforted by the magician, and her kinswoman she was at last pacified, and desired to go
home, as she could not bear to see the child put into
the water, so she and her kinswoman departed home.
The magician then took the boat -and carried it
down to his own garden, at thp foot of which ran
the river Jordan, and putting it in where a strong
stream ran, it was soon carried out of sight.
The mother when she got Jiorne fainted away,
but was revived by being informed by her maidservant, that during her absence, they had almost
brought the matter to a close, having found a neighbour's male 6hild, who had died the day before, and
was just of the same.age as Judas, for whose body
they had given the parents a small sum of ;moneyf
and paid the expense of burying a coffin full of
bones, by way of a blind : and the only thing that
remained was to deceive her "husband, and get this
phyd buried under the sanction of Judas's body.
The father coming hon,ie at night, and finding
his wife in tears, soon guessed the dismal pause ;
and inquiring of the servants, they with dissembled
grief informed him, that jthe child died in the
morning soon after his departure.. The man was
�8
much affected with the loss of his child, and thinking to prevent his wife's grief by the sight of the
body he had it removed to a kinsman's house, and
in a day or two interred it from thence, supposing
it to be his son Judas.
By this time Providence had conducted Judas,
alive and well, unto the coast of Iscariot, a kingdom in Palestine, where Pheophilus the king often
used to recreate himself, in beholding the ships
pass and repass at sea. It happened that the very
day that Judas was cast on the coast, the king and
his nobles came on that diversion, and as they were
standing on the top of the rock, looking into the
sea, the king espied a little boat floating upon the
water, and thinking it to be a chest of some wrecked ship, he ordered a servant to put out a boat and
fetch it; which being done, and brought to the
king, he ordered it to be broken open; when to
their great surprise, they found a lovely babe, who
look'd up, and smiled in the king's face. Then
said the king to the child, icelcome as my own child ;
and expressed much joy in being providentially
sent to preserve the babe's life, and taking it up in
his arms, said if thou wert a child begat by me, I
could not esteem or value thee more. Then he
espied about its neck the aforementioned parchment, viz:
MY NAME IS JUDAS.
Well, said the king, as thy name is Judas, I will
now double name thee, and then called him Judas
Iscariot, because he found him near the coast of
that name. He was then brought to court, treated
as the king's own child, and at a proper age educated well, and at last became a man of learning and
�9
genius and behaved himself so wisely, that the king
made him his principal steward.
Judas being arrived at this rank, still coveted
greater, and remembering the queen one day said,
that if the prince, her son died, Judas should be
her heir, he therefore set about contriving to kill
him, accordingly he professed great love and friendship for him; and one day being walking together,
Judas took occasion to quarrel with the prince, and
maliciously slew him, thinking all would go well
with him if he was dead.
Behold the serpent, which the king
Long nourished in his breast,
Grown warm, strikes forth his baneful sting,
And robb'd him of his rest.
Though none accused him of the murder, yet his
conscience so stung him, that he so#n quitted the
kingdom, leaving all his pomp and finery behind
him, and changing his name, took upon him the
mean employ of a servant, wandering about from
place to place, until at length he arrived at Joppa,
the place of his nativity ; here he soon got a place
in a nobleman's family, where he behaved so well
as to gain the esteem of his lord and lady, and all
that knew him. One day it happened that as his
lady was walking abroad big with child, she longed
for some fruit, which she saw in Judas's father's
garden, bidding him go and buy her some. He
took the money, but was resolved to steal the fruit;
and going to the garden, broke down the fences,
which as he was doing his father came out, and
seized him for the robbery ; and Judas to extricate
himself from the hand of justice murdered his
father upon the spot, and immediately escaped to
�10
about ;
Theba, a city
Seventy-mi leagties
Here lie continued ftmr years, in which time the
noise of the murder b&ing blown over, he returned
back again, and got another place in a nobleman's
family, where he lived sometime, till hi£ own mother

agony, and told him the whole story of his birth,
and the part she had acted therein. Judas heard
this with wonder and astonishment, ancV on his part
confessed to her the many crimes he had been guilty
o f ; after which she desired him to depart from her,
and seek mercy of God in another country ; protesting she would never be carnally known to him any
gnuia oa soaoip&mb
Judas full of grief and remorse of conscience, left
Joppa, and wandered about like a pilgrim, till he
heard of a mighty prophet, called Jesus of Nazareth,
in the land of Judea, who wrought many miracles,
and wonderful works; to hint he went, and liking
his doctrine and seeing his miracles, he begged of
our Lord to be admitted one of his followers: Our
Saviour chose him to be one of his- disciples, and
gave him the charge of what money or provision
he carried about with him. There is no evidence
that his rerligious instructions, or his preaching
the word, or miracles, were inferior to those of his
brethren: but covetousness still reigned in his
heart. Notwithstanding all this Judas could not
forget his covetousness, for when Mary Magdalene
brought a box of costly ointment, to anoint our dear
Lord's feet, at the house of Simon the Leper, Judas
�11
Wghly offended {hereai, because the value
thereof was not put into his bag. But our Lord
knowing his covetous and wicked heart, sharply rebtiked him; at \VliicIi he was so enraged, that he
fit revenge premeditated, and put into execution,
the worst action of all his life, and going to the
chief priests' and elders, he said unto them, what
will you give me, and I will betray him they call
Jesus into your hands ? And they agreed with
hfan for thirty pieces of silver; or £3, 8s. 5d.
English money.
The love of money is a i-ock
Which causes cafe and trouble,
And he that hastetli to fee rich,
He makes his sorrows double,
Money's a most alluring bait,
Conducive unto evil,
For this base Judas sold his God,
Himself unto the devil.
When 6\\± Lord was instituting his last supper,
he* £aidf unto his disciptfes, I have chosen you twelve,
but one of you is a devil. And again, Verify I say
urito you, one of yd* ttiis nio-ht shall betray me, and
lie it is* unfo whomsoever I shall give a sop: then
giving a sop tinto Jiiclas, he said unto him what
tten' dost do quietly. With the sop the devil entered into Judas, and lie went out from amongst
them.—cfect&s then went to tlie chief priests, and
received tfie thirty pieces of silver ; so taking witli
hint an armed band of men, to apprehend his master, He led them to the Garden, of Gethsemane
Where Jesus was wont to retire for his devotion;
he went telling them, thai! whomsoever he should
�12
kiss, the same was he, hold him fast There our
Lord beheld his adversaries coming with burning
torches and lanterns, and weapons to apprehend
him; then spake he to his disciples, and said,
a Rise let us go ; behold Tie is at hand that will betray meAnd
while he was speaking, came Judas
the traitor, saying, Hail, Master, and kissed him.
For it is written, that it was the manner and custom
of our Lord Jesus towards his disciples, that when
at any time he had sent them out, at their return
again, he would receive them with a loving kiss.
Then they laid hands on the Lord, and bound him
as a thief and a murderer, and led him away to
the high Priest and Elders, who asked him many
questions ; to which our Lord gave them no answer,
but stood like a lamb dumb before his shearers.
And here let us behold our Lord Jesus, how patiently and meekly he receives that false and treacherous kiss from that unfaithful disciple, whose feet
he had vouchsafed to wash with his own hands,
and whom out of his unspeakable charity he refused
not to feed with the precious food of his blessed
oody. Consider likewise how meekly he suffered
himself to be taken, bound, struck, and furiously
dragged away, as if he had been a thief, or the
most wicked person in the world, void of power to
help himself. Contemplate also the great sorrow
and inward affliction he had of his disciples, who
fled and left him in the hands of those ravenous
wolves. And on the other side, consider the grief of
their hearts, since the cause of their leaving him was
not the perversity of their will, but the frailty of
their weak nature : for which they heartily mourn
and sigh, like poor orphans that know not what they
do, or whither to go ; and their sorrow was so much
the greater, as they knew in what villanous man-
�13
ner their Lord and master would be treated and
abused. Nevertheless, the whole assembly, though
they found nothing worthy of death in him, one by
one passed the following sentences on him.

MISERABLE AND AWFUL END OF THE TRAITOR JUDAS.
NOW JUDAS, the Traitor, had no sooner seen
his master condemned by the Jewish council, than
his conscience upbraided him ; he brought back the
thirty pieces of silver, and confessed he had betrayed his innocent master. But the Jewish rulers
replied, that that was none of their business, he
might blame himself. And he threw back the
thirty pieces of silver and went out and hanged himself; but the rope breaking, or the tree giving way,
he fell and his body burst asunder, and his bowels
gushed out. Then the Jews, as they thought the
price of blood was not fit for the Treasury, they, as
agents for Judas, gave it for the Potters-field to
bury strangers in.
�17
T W Judas 'mongst the Apostles was
And with them took his part,
His awful end proved him to be
A traitor in his heart.
On the Evening after our Lord's resurrection he
appeared unto ten of the apostles, Judas being dead,
and Thomas absent: he renewed their mission, and
breathed on them, as a token of his sending the
Holy Ghost. After giving them repeated proofs of
his resurrection, he just before his ascension gave
them a formal commission, saying, " Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: andy lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.11 After they had
witnessed their master's departure to the heavenly
mansions, Peter proposed, that one who had been a
constant witness of his marvellous sufferings and
conduct, should be chosen to fill the room of Judas.
The disciples chose Barsabas and Matthias for the
candidates. As the office was extraordinary, and
perhaps the votes equal, the final determination,
which of the two should be the apostle, was left to
the decision of God by the lot. After prayer, the
lots were cast, and it fell upon Matthias: he was
therefore numbered with the eleven apostles.
On the day of Pentecost, a feast appointed to
commemorate the giving of the law, the Holy Ghost,
in the shape of cloven tongues of fire, descended on
each of them; rendered them bold and infallible
in preaching the gospel; qualified them with power,
to speak in every language, to discern men's tem-
�lSf
pers, and to confer the miraculous influence of
speaking with tongues on others, by the laying on
of hands.

OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST.
TOUCHING the wonderful ascension of our Lord
Jesus, it behoves thee, pious reader, to awaken thy
heart, and render thyself with more than ordinarly
attention to all that is here said or done, relating
to this subject, if thou desire to feed thy soul with
heavenly comfort, and reap the spiritual ^notion,
which plentifully flows from the devout contemplation of so divine a subject _ hfaorfa YQffa ffatforfi
On the fortieth day after the resurrectiou, our
Lord Jesus, knowing that his time was new come to
depart from this world, and to pass hence to his
Father, taking with him the holy patrian?hs, prophets, and others, who after his xesiu'iiefttion were
in the terrestrial paradise, and blessjlng. Enoch
and Elias, who remained there still aliye, he came
to his apostles, who were gathered together on
Mount Sion, which was the place F^pe be made
his last supper the night before his passion. There
were likewise with the apostles at this place, the
Messed Virgin, and many other disciples; and our
Lord appearing to :tliem said, that he would eat
with them before he departed from them, as a
special token and memorial of the love he tore them.
And as they were all eating, bej.^g full of joy and
spiritual comfort at this last refection of our Lord
Jesus, lie said to them> " The time is now come in
which I must return again to him that sent me:
but you shall remain in the city till you are clothed
with tlie yirtue descending from above ; for within
�(Tf
20
a few days you shall be filled with the Holy Ghost,
as I before promised you. After which, you shall
be dispersed throughout the whole world, to preach
my gospel, baptizing all that shall believe in me, so
that you shall be my witnesses to the utmost confines of the earth." He likewise reproved them
for their incredulity in not believing them who had
seen him rise, that is the angels. This he chose to
do at the time ho was speaking to them of preaching his gospel, to give them to understand, that
they ought to have believed the angels, even before they saw him, much sooner than they ought to
be believed by those to whom they were to preach,
who, nevertheless, would believe them (the apostles)
though they should not see him, (Jesus Christ.)
And this he did, that by knowing their fault they
might remain humble; shewing them at his departure how much he admired that virtue, and that
he recommended it to them in a singular manner.
They asked him concerning many things that wero
to come to pass ; but he would not resolve them, inasmuch as it was not necessary for them to know
the secrets of God, which his father had reserved
in his own power, to fulfill at his o^n will and
pleasure. And thus they continued discoursing and
eating together, with great comfort and satisfaction,
occasioned by the presence of their Lord; yet their
comfort was mixed with some grief, by reason of his
departure from them. For they loved him so tenderly, that they could not hear him speak of leaving
them without heaviness and sorrow.
And what can we think of his blessed Mother ?
May we not devoutly imagine that, sitting near
him, and hearing what he said concerning his departure, she was moved with the tenderness of her
motherly affection ; and that overcome with grief.
�21
which suddenly seized, and oppressed her blessed
soul, she inclined her head towards him, and rested it upon his sacred breast! For, if John the
Evangelist at the last supper, took this freedom,
with much more reason may we suppose her to do
the same on this doleful occasion. Hence, then,
with tears, and many sighs, she spoke to him in
this manner: " Oh my beloved son, I beseech thee
not to leave me ; but if thou must depart, and return again to thy heavenly Father, take me, thv
afflicted Mother, along with thee !" But our blessed
Lord endeavoured to comfort her, and said, " Grieve
not, oh beloved parent, at my leaving you because
I go to my Father; and it is expedient that you remain here a short time longer, to confirm in their
faith, such as shall be converted, and believe in me,
and afterwards I will come again, and take you with
me, to be a partaker of my glory." To whom again,
our Lady replied, " My beloved Son, may thy will
always be fulfilled in all things, for I am not only
contented to remain here during thy pleasure, but
also, to suffer death for love of those souls, for which
thou hast so willingly vouchsafed to lay down thy
life: this, however, I beseech thee, be thou ever
mindful of me." Our Lord then again comforted
her, with the disciples, and Mary Magdalene, saying, " Let not your hearts be troubled, nor fear ye
any thing, I will not leave you desolate ; I go, but
will shortly return again to you, and will remain

from thence, and go to Mount Olivet, because from
that place he would ascend into heaven, in the
presence of them all: saying this, he disappeared.
His holy Mother, with the rest of the company,
without any delay, hastened to the said mount, about
a mile distant from Jerusalem, as he had appointed
�them, where our Lof d again soon appeared to them.
Behold on this day we have two different apparitions
of our ( Lord. Thus being all together, our iioihfc
embraced his lioly Mother, and she again embraced
him in a most tender manner, taking leave -of- oiukother. And the disciples, Mary Magdalene, and tho

tenderness, kissed his Messed feet, and he, raising

The Lord is ascending in shouts of joy, and the
Lord in the sound of a trumpet.
Our Lord Jesus ascended visibly for the greater
comfort of hi* mother and disciples, that they might
see him as far as they could. And behold a cloud
received him out of their sight, and in an instant they
were present in heaven! And as the blessed Virgin
and the disciples were looking still up to heaven,
two angels stood beside them in white garments,
who began to comfort them, telling them not to
look loager after his body, which they saw ascend
so gloriously into heaven, for that they should not
see him any more in that form till the day of
Judgment, when he should come to judge the quick
and the dead. They bid them return into the city
again, and their to expect the coming of the Holy
Ghost, as he himself had told them. His blessed
Mother spoke to the angels, desiring them to recommend her to her blessed son ; who profoundly
inclining to her, promised gladly to fulfil her commands. And the apostles and Mary Magdalene recommended themselves in the same manner. After
this, the angels departing, they went according rs
they had been appointed into the city, unto Mount
Sion, and waited there the coming of the Holy
Ghost.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This is a short history of the life of Mary Queen of Scots, from birth to death. According to a list of other publications on the back, this was one of a series of books printed for juvenile readers, with many accompanying illustrations. The story is highly romanticized – typical of many histories of Mary – portraying Mary as a beautiful and brave queen, but one who fell victim to her own womanly desires and to various other undeserved misfortunes. Notes: Several illustrations throughout, including images of the murder of David Rizzio, Queen Mary’s Arrival in Scotland, Mary Admonished by John Knox, Queen Mary Brought a Prisoner to Edinburgh, Mary Resigning her Right to the Crown, the Battle of Langside, the Death of Regent Murray, and the Execution of Mary Queen of Scots.

PSIVTED FOR THE BOOKIILLUUK
��THE
IJIFJE
o f
AT the Reformation one half of the lands of Scotland were the property of the church. David I.
had made over almost the whole of those belonging
to the crown, and his example was imitated, not
only by many of his successors, but by all orders
of men, with whom the founding a monastery, or
endowing a church, was thought to be a sufficient
atonement for the breach of every command in
the decalogue.
Besides the influence derived from the nature
and extent of their property, generally let on lease,
on easy terms, to the younger sons and dependants
of great families, the weight the clergy had in Parliament was very considerable. The number of temporal barons being extreaiely limited, and the lesser
barons and representatives of boroughs looking upon
it as a hardship to attend, combined with the mode
of choosing the Lords of the Articles. Its proceedings in a great measure were left under their direction and control.
The Lords of the Articles were a Committee
.vhose business it was to prepare and digest all matters that were to be laid before Parliament. Every
motion for a new law was made in this committee,
and approved or rejected by the members of it;
what they approved was formed into a bill, and
presented to Parliament; what they rejected could
not be introduced into the house. This committee
�owed the extraordinary powers vested in it to the
military genius of the ancient nobles, and in this
way not only directed all the proceedings of Parliament, but possessed a negative before debate. It
consisted of eight temporal and eight spiritual lords,
of eight representatives of boroughs, and of eight
great officers of the crown, and when its composition is considered, it will easily be seen how much
influence it would add to the already too great power
of the clergy.
Their character also was held sacred ; neither
were they subject to the same laws, nor tried by
the same judges as the laity, a remarkable instance
of which occurred on the trial of the murderers of
Cardinal Beaton, one of whom was a priest.
He
was claimed by a delegate from the clerical courts,
and exempted from the judgement of Parliament
on that account.
By their reputation for learning, they almost
wholly engrossed the high offices of emolument and
trust in the civil government; but even this was
not for acting in their capacity of confessors, they
made use of all these motives which operate so
powerfully on the human mind, to promote the interest of the church, so that few were allowed to
leave the world without bestowing on her some
marks of their liberality, and where credulity failed
to produce this effect, they called in the aid of law.
(When a person died intestate, by the 22d Statute
of William the Lion, the disposal of his effects was
vested in the bishop of the diocese, after paying his
funeral charges and debts, and distributing among
his kindred the sums to which they were respectively entitled, it being presumed that no Chriitiai*
�^oultl have choscti to leave the world without destining some of his substancd to pious purposes.)
Their courts had likewise the cognisance of all testamentary deeds and matrimonial contracts, an J
to these engines of power, and often in thsir hands
of oppression, they super-added the sentence of excommunication, which besides depriving the ur>
happy victim on whom it fell of all Christian privileges, cut him off from every right as a man or
citizen. T o these, and other causes of a similar
nature, may he ascribed the power of the Popish
church; and to these, also, combined with the celibacy to which by the rule of their church they were
restricted, may be attributed the dissolute and licentious lives of the clergy, which in the end destroyed that reputation for sanctity, the people hai?
been accustomed to attach to their character.
According to the accounts of the reformers, confirmed by several popish writers, the manners of the
Scottish clergy were indecent in the extreme. Cardinal Beaton celebrated the marriage of his eldest
daughter with the son of the Earl of Crawford,
with an almost regal magnificence, and maintained
a criminal correspondence with her mother to thu
end of his days. The other prelates were not more
exemplary than their primate, and the contrast between their lives, arid those of the reformers, fa 1 lev!
not to make a considerable impression on the mimic
of the people. Instead of disguising their vices the
Popish clergy affected to despise censure; instead
•f endeavouring to colour over the absurdity of tl»£;
established doctrines, or found them on Scripture*
they left them to the authority of the church and
dtorees of the councils; the only apology tliey hats*
�ever been able, even to the present day, to offer for
file monstrous absurdity of their system.
H i e duty "I* preaching was left to the lowest and most illiterate of the monks.
The following anecdote will give a lively idea ot
their mode of preaching:—" The prior of the
Black Friars at Newcastle, in a sermon at St Andrews, asserted that the Paternoster should be said
to God only, and not the saints. This doctrine not
meeting the approbation of the learned of that city,
they appointed a Gray Friar to refute it, who choose
for his text, " Blessed are the poor in spirit " which
he illustrated in this manner.
Seeing we say,
good day, father, to any old man in the street, we
may call a saint pater, who is older than any alive ;
and seeing they are in heaven, we may say to any
of them, " Our father who art in heaven
seeing
they are holy, we may say, *' hallowed be thy name;''
and, since they are in the kingdom of heaven, may
add, " thy kingdom c o m e a n d as their will is
God's will, " thy will be done
but when he oome
to " give us this day our daily bread,'' he was much
at a loss confessing it was not in the power of the
saints to give us our daily bread; " yet they may
pray to God for us,'' he said, " that he may give
us our daily bread.'' The rest of his commentary
being not more satisfactory, set his audience a
laughing and the children on the streets calling after him, Friar r 'aternoster, he was so much ashamed
that he left the city.
The only device by which they attempted to
bring back the people to their allegiance was equally unfortunate and imprudent; they had recourse
to false miracles, which the vigilance of the refor-
�mers detected and exposed to ridicule. The barefaced impositions that were practised by the monies
on the credulous, are almost inconceivable.—Among
other customs of those times, it was common foi
them to travel to Rome and come home laden with
relics, blessed by his holiness, dispensations for sin,
by which they wheedled the credulous out of tiieii
money. One of these, on a holiday, endeavouring
to vend his wares to the country people, among
other things shewed them a bell with a rent in it,
possessing the virtue of discovering the truth or
fallacy of an oath ; for, as he pretended, if any one
swore truly, with his hand on the bell, he could
easily remove it, without any change; hut if the
oath was false, his hand would stick to it, and the
bell rent asunder. A farmer, rather more shrewd
than the rest of his auditors, suspecting the truth
of this assertion, asked liberty to take an oa(h in
the presence of those assembled, about an affair
which nearly concerned him. The monk could not
refuse; and the farmer addressing the crowd, said,
64 Friends, before I swear, you see the rent, how
large it is, and that 1 have nothing on my finger?
to make them stick to the bell." Then laying his
hand on it, he took this oath.—" I swear, in the
presence of the living God, and before these good
people, that the pope of Rome is Antichrist, and
that all the rabble of his clergy, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, monks, with all the rest of
the crew, are locust, come from hell, to delude the
people, and to withdraw them from God; moreover,
I promise they will all return to hell;" and lifting
I)is hand he added. " See, friends, I have lift
ed my hand freely from the bell, and the rent
�8
fs no larger, this sheweth that I have sworn the
truth."
The cause of reformed religion, was powerfully
supported by the ambition of the Queen-dowager.
(Mary of Guise) After the death of James V . her
husbandk the Earl of Arran, was appointed Regent cf the kingdom during the minority of her
daughter ; and from that situation she wished to exclude him, that she might enjoy the first honours
of the state alone, and promote the designs of her
brothers upon Scotland. For this purpose 6he applied to the favourers of the Reformation, as being
the most numerous of the Regent's enemies, and
forming a respectable body in the state; and although her promises of protection were insincere,'
they, in a very considerable degree, abated the fury
of persecution.
John Knox, who contributed so much, both by
precept and example, to work out the Reformation
fiom Popery; was the descendant of an ancient
family, and born at Gilford, near Haddington, in
1505. On finishing his education at the grammar
school, he was removed to St. Andrew's, to complete his studies under the celebrated John Mair,
by whose instructions he made such progress that
he received orders before the time prescribed by the
rules of the church. After this, he quitted scholastic learning, so much in reputation at that period,
and applied himself with diligence to the reading
of the fathers of the church, particularly St Angustine, from which, attending the preaching of one
Thomas Euillam, a Black Friar, and the conversation of M r George Wish art, a celebrated reformer,
who came from England in 1545 with the commit*
�9
sioners sent by Henry V I I I . to conclude a treaty
with the Earl of A m m , after the death of James
V . he attained a more than ordinary degree of scriptural knowledge, and entirely renounced the Roman
Catholic religion.
On leaving St Andrew's, M r Knox acted as tutor to the sons of Douglas of Longniddry, and
Cockburn of Ormiston, whom, besides the different
branches of common education, he carefully instruc
ted in the principles of the reformed religion, having
composed a catechism for their use, besides reading
lectures to them on various portions of the scriptures.
In this practice he continued till Easter 1547,
when werried out by the repeated persecutions ol
Cardinal Beaton, he left Longniddry for St. A n drew's, resolved to visit Germany, the state of England proving unfavourable to his views.
Against
taking this step, however, he was persuaded by the
gentlemen whose children he had the charge, to remain in St. Andrews, the castle of that place being
in the hands of the reformers.
Here he continued to teach his pupils 1 1 the us1
ual manner, but his lectures were now attended by
a number of people belonging to the town, who
earnestly in treated him to preach in public.
This
task he at first declined, but afterwards accepted a
call from the pulpit, and in his very first sermon
discovered such zeal, learning, and intrepidity, as
evinced the prudence of their choice, and how eminently qualified lie was for the discharge of those
duties. This success caused such alarm among the
Popish clergy, that a letter was sent to the subprior by the abbot of Paisley, natural brother of the
Reg<mt, who had been nominated to the archbish-
�10
oprio reproving him for his negligence, in allowing
such doctrines to be taught without opposition.
A
meeting of the clergy was held in consequence, and
every scheme they could devise put in practice to
hurt Mr Knox's usefulness; but, in a public disputation, he replied to all their arguments with so
much acuteness as completely to silence them, and
gained many proselytes, who made prefession of their
faith by partaking of the communion openly, which
he was the first to administer in the manner practised
at present.
This success was not of long duration, for a body
of French troops was sent to besiege the castle, and
it was compelled to surrender on the 23d July,
when he, along with the garrison, was sent prisoner to France, and confined in the gallies till the
year 1549. On obtaining his liberty he retired to
England, where he preached sometime at Berwick,
afterwards at Newcastle and London, and was at
last chosen one of the itinerants appointed by Edward V I . to preach the Protestant doctrine through
England. Upon the death of that prince, on the
6th July, 1553, he went to Geneva, where heresided when he was chosen by the English church
at Frankfort, on the 24th September, 1554, to
be their pastor, a situation he accepted by the advice of the celebrated John Calvin, but which he
did not long enjoy, for having opposed the introduction of the English liturgy, and refused to celebrate the communion according to the forms prescribed by it, he was deprived of his office; and,
such was the malice of his enemies, that, taking
advantage of a passage in his " Admonition to
England,'1 wherein he compares the Emperor to
�11
Nero, and the Queen of England to Jezebel, they
accused him to the magistrates of treason. These
gentlemen perceiving the spirit by which his accusers were actuated, found means to apprise him
of his danger; and on the 26th march, 1555, he
left Frankfort for Geneva, from whence he proceeded
to Dieppe, and shortly afterwards to Scotland, where
he arrived in the month of August.
On his arrival he found the reformers much increased in number, and after assisting them to rectify some errors which had crept into their practice,
accompanied John Erskine of Dun to his seat in
the Mearns, where he continued a month, preaching
to the principle people in that country.
He afterwards resided at Calder-house, the residence of Sir
James Sandilands, where he was attended by a
number, of personages of the first rank; and, amon^ others, by the prior of St Andrew's afterwards earl of Moray.
During the winter he visited Edinburgh; preached in many places of Ayrshire; and in the beginning of 155fi, at the request of the earl of Glencairn, administered J?e
sacrament of the Lord's Supper to his lordship's
family, and a number of friends, at his seat of Finlayston.
In this way did M r Knox continue preaching,
sometimes in one place, and sometimes in another,
when his success excited so much attention that the
Popish clergy summoned him to appear before them,
on the 15th of May, in the church of the Black
Friars in Edinburgh.
He did appear, but attended by such a number of followers that the clergy
deemed it prudent to desist from their intended
prosecution; and that same day he addressed a
�12
much greater audience than ever he had done on
any prior occasion, and continued to do so for ten
days.
Tiie earl of Glencairn, one of his firmest friends,
prevailed on the earl Marshal, and M r Henry
Drummond, to attend one of M r Knox's sermons,
tUey were so highly gratified with it that they persuaded him to address a letter to the Queen, in the
hope she also mighc he induced to hear the doctrine
f *Jie reformers. In this letter, contending for
ihe truth of what he taught, he says, 44 Albeit,
Madam, that the messengers of God are not sent
this day with visible miracles, because they teach
no other doctrine than that which is confirmed with
miracles from the beginning of the world* yet will
not he (who hath promised to take charge over his
poor and little flock to the end) suffer the contempt
of their ambassage to escape punishment and vengeance, for the truth itself hath said, ' he that heareth you heareth one, and he that contemneth you
contemneth one.'
I do not speak unto you, Maclam, as Pasquillus doth to the Pope and his carnal
cardinals, in the behalf of such as dare not utter
their names, but I come in the name of Christ Jesus; affirming, that the religion ye maintain is
damnable idolatry, which I offer myself to prove,
by the most evident testimony of God's Scriptures ;
and in this quarrel I present myself against all the
papists in the realm, desiring no other armour but
God's holy word, and the liberty of my tongue.'
l i svas debvered to the Queen by the eari of Glencairn, and by her to the bishop of Glasgow, (nephew of Cardinal Beaton) with this observation,
4 PieruMi \ou, my lord, to read a pasquil,'' which
*
�13
rorrung to the ears of M r Knox, was the occasion
if his making a number of additions when the letter was printed afterwards at Geneva.
At this time he received letters from the Englii.li church at Geneva, which had separated from
the one at Frankfort, commanding him, " in God's
name, as he was their chosen pastor, to repair to
them for their comfort/' Having preached in almost every congregation he had formerly visited,
and sent his wife and mot her-in law before him to
Dieppe, he sailed from Scotland in the month of
July for Geneva. No sooner had he left the kingdom than the bishops summoned him to answer a
charge of heresy; and, on his non-appearance,
burnt him in effigy at the cross of Edinburgh.
Against this sentence, in 1558, he published his
" Appellation," addressed to the " Nobility and
Estates of Scotland." In this composition, which
has been much admired, after appealing " to a lawful and general council," and requiring of them that
defence which, as princes of the people, they were
bound to give him, he adds, " these things I require I of your honours to be granted unto me,
viz. that the doctrine which our adversaries condemn for heresy may be tried by the plain and simple word of God ; that the just defences be admitted to us that sustain the battle against this pestilent battle of Antichrist; and that they be removed from judgment in our cause, seeing thatoui
accusation is not intended against any ont3 particular person, but against that whole kingdom which
we doubt not to prove to be a power usurped against
God, against his commandments, and against the
ordinance of Christ Jesus, established in his church
�14
by bis chief apostles ; yea, we doubt not to prove
the kingdom of the Pope to be the kingdom and
power of Antichrist, and therefore, my lords, I cannot cease, in the name of Christ Jesus, to require
of you that the matter may come to examination,
and that ye, the estates of the realm, by your authority, compel such as will be called bishops, not
only to desist from their cruel murdering of such as do
study to promote God's glory, in detecting and disclosing the damnable impiety of that man of sin the
Roman Antichrist; but, also, that ye compel them
to answer to such crimes as shall be laid to their
charge, for not righteously instructing the flock
committed to their care.
In March, 1557, sensible of his importance, a
letter, subscribed Glencairn, Erskine, Lorn, and
James Stuart, was transmitted to Mr Knox at
Geneva, entreating him to return home. Having
communicated its contents to his congregation, for
which he provided another minister, and taking the
advice of John Calvin, and other ministers, he set
out for Scotland.
Addressing himself to the lords who had invited
his return, Mr Knox expostulates with them on
their rash conduct, as having a tendency to cause
both them and him to be evil spoken o f . — " For
either," said he, " it shall appear that I was marvellous vain, being so solicited, where no necessity
required, or else that such as were my movers thereto lacked the ripeness of judgment in their first vocation." Along with this letter he sent one to the
whole nobility, and others to particular gentlemen,
advising them in what manner they ought to proceed. On their receipt a new consultation was held}
�and a bond subscribed at Edinburgh on the 13th
December, 1557; whereby they agreed to " forsake and renounce the congregation of Satan, with
all the superstitious abominations and idolatry thereof." From this period those subscribing, and their
adherents, were known by the title of the Congregation. Previous to this agreement, however, a
number of letters were sent off to Mr Knox, and
to John Calvin, that he might use his influence in
persuading him to return.
This year (1558,) the Queen Regent, through
the concurrence of the Protestant party in Parliament, obtained an act to be passed, conferring the
matrimonial crown on the Dauphin, the nusband
of her daughter, the unfortunate Mary. They had
been induced to forward her views in this favourite
scheme, that they might obtain from her an exemption from that tyranny with which the ancient
laws armed the ecclesiastics against them, and enjoy the free exercise of their religion. No sooner,
however, had she obtained the gratification of her
wishes, than the accomplishment of a new* scheme,
the placing her daughter on the throne of England, and to which she had been prompted by the
ambition of her brothers, the princes of the house
of Lorraine, at that time in the plenitude of their
power at the Court of France, rendered an union
with the Catholics necessary. It was vain to expect the assistance of the Scots Protestants to dethrone Elizabeth, whom all Europe considered as
the most powerful defender of the Reformed faith.
She therefore began to treat them with coldness and
contempt, and not only approved the decrees of a
oo***>catioD of the Popish clergy, in which the prin-
�16
ciples of the Reformation were condemned, but at
the same time issued a proclamation enjoining the
observance of Easter according to the ritual of the
Romish church.
Alarmed at these proceedings, and s/ill more at
an order summoning all the Reformed clergy in the
kingdom, to attend a court of justice at Stirling, on
the 10th May, 1559, the earl of Glencairn, and
Hugh Campbell of Louden, were deputed to wait
on her and intercede in their behalf, On urging
their peaceable demeanour, and the purity of their
doctrine, she said, " In despite of you, and your
ministers both, they shall be banished out of Scotland, albeit they preached as true as ever did St.
Paul. ,, And on pleading her former promises of
protection, she replied, 4 4 The promises of princes
ought not to be too carefully remembered, nor the
performance of them exacted unless it suits their
convenience."
Perth, in the meantime, having embraced the
Reformed religion, added to the rage which agitated the Queen against the Protestants, and she
commanded the provost (Patrick Ruthven,) to suppress all their assemblies. The answer of this gentleman deserves to be recorded for its manly freedom. " I have power over their bodies and estates," said he, 61 and these I will take care shall
do no hurt; but have no dominion over their consciences." The day of trial now approached, and
the town of Dundee, and the gentlemen of Angus
and Mearns, in comformity of an old custom which
prevailed in Scotland, resolved to accompany their
pastors to the place of trial. Intimidated by their
^ligabers, though unarmed, she prevailed oa John
�17
Erskine of Dun, a person of great influence among
tbem, to stop them from advancing nearer to Stirling, while she, on her part, promised to take no
further steps towards the intended trial. This proposition was listened to with pleasure, the preachers
and some of the leaders remained at Perth, and
the multitude quietly dispersed tr» their respective
homes.
Notwithstanding this promise, on the 10th May,
the queen proceeded to the trial of the persons summoned ; and, on their failing to appear, sentence
of outlawry was pronounced upon them. This upen
and avowed breach of faith added greatly to the
public irritation, and the Protestants boldly prepared for their defence. Mr Erskine having joined
his associates at Perth, his representation of the
Queen's irreconcilable hatred so inflamed the peole. that scarcely the authority of the magistrates,
r the exhortations of their preachers, could prevent
them from proceeding to acts of violence.
At this juncture, Mr Knox landed in Scotland
from France, and, after residing two days in Edinburgh, joined his brethren in Perth, that he might
aid them in their cause, and give his confession along with theirs. On the 1 1th, the day after the
sentence of outlawry was pronounced, he made a
rehement discourse against idolatry, and while the
minds of the people were yet in a state of agitation,
from the impression made upon them by his sermon, a priest prepared to celebrate mass, which
made a youth observe, " This is intolerable, that
when God in his word hath plainly condemned
idolatry we shall stand and see it used in despite."
The irritated priest struck him a blow on the ear*
�itf
and tlie youth in revenge threw a stone at him,
which broke an image of one of the saints. This
was the signal of tumult, and ere two days had
elapsed, all the churches and convents about Perth
were destroyed. Such was the anger of the Queen
on receiving this intelligence, that she avowed to
reduce Perth to ashes, and ordered M . D'Ossal,
the commander of a corps of French auxiliaries, at
that time in the service of Scotland, instantly to
march, and carry her threats into execution.
Both
parties, however, were desirous of accommodation,
and a treaty was concluded, in which it was stipulated that the two armies should be disbanded, the
gates of Perth set open to the queen, but that none
of her French soldiers should approach within three
miles of that city, and that a Parliament should
be immediately held to settle the remaining differences.
No sooner were the Protestant forces disbanded,
than the Queen violated every article of the treaty.
In consequence of which the earl of Argyle, and
the prior of St Andrew's, who had been her commissioners for settling the peace, with some other
gentlemen, openly left her.
Having warned the
confederates of her intention to destroy St Andrew's
and Cupar, a considerable army was soon assembled,
which assaulted Crail, broke down the altars and
images, and proceeded thence to St Andrew's, where
they levelled the Franciscan and Domiuician monasteries to the ground. I lie Queen immediately
gave orders to occupy Cupar, with the intention of
attacking them at St Andrew's, but in this she was
anticipated, an army equal to her own having occupied the place two days before. Finding herself
�lW
too weak to encounter them in the Held, she had
again recourse to negotiation ; but mindful of hfcr
former duplicity, the Protestants would only agree
to a truce for eight days, by which the Duke of
Chatelherault and D'Ossal became bound to transport all the French soldiers to the other side of the
Frith, and send commissioners to St Andrew's with
full powers to conclude a formal treaty of peace.
Several days elapsed without any person appearing on the part of the queen, and suspecting some
new plan to entrap them, the Protestants, after
concerting measures to expel the French garrison
from Perth, wrote to her Majesty, complaining (hat
the terms of the first treaty were still unfulfilled,
and begging her to withdraw her troops from that
city in conformity with its stipulations. Their letters remaining unnoticed, they laid siege to Perth,
which surrendered, after a feeble resistance, on the
26th June, 1559.
Being informed that the Queen resolved to seize
Stirling, and cut off the communication between the
reformers on the opposite sides of the Frith, by a
rapid march they frustrated her plans, and in three
days, after they had made themselves masters of
Perth, the victorious reformers entered Edinburgh.
The Queen on their approach retired to Dunbar,—
where she amused them with hopes of an accommodation, in the expectation of being joined with reinforcements from France,
Intelligence, in the
meantime, was received of the death of the French
king, which, while it was favourable to the cause of
the reformers, rendered their leaders more negligent
and secure. Numbers of them left the city on their
private affyirs, their followers were obliged to dis-
�20
perse for want of money, and those who did remain
were without discipline or restraint. The Queen
receiving advice of this, hy means of herspies, marched with all the forces she could muster directly to
Edinburgh, and possessed herself, on the 25th of
July, of Leith.
She consented, however, to a
truce, to continue till the 5th January, 1560, by
which liberty of conscience was secured; Popery
was not to be established again where it had been
suppressed, the reformers were not to be hindered
from preaching wherever they might happen to be,
and no garrison was to be stationed within the city.
These terms were preserved till she received the
expected reinforcements, when she fortified Leith,
from which all the efforts of the reformers were unable to dislodge her troops. A mutiny also break,
ing out among their soldiers for want of pay, and
having been defeated in two skirmishes with the
French troops, it was resolved, by a majority of the
lords of the congregation, to retire to Stirling. This
rash step was productive of great terror and confusion, and contrary to the advice of Knox ; who, notwithstanding, followed the fortunes of his friends,
animating and reviving them by his discourses, and
exhorting them to constancy in the good cause.
A t a meeting held shortly after their arrival at
Stirling, it was resolved, to despatch William Mait*
land, who had lately deserted the Queen's party ta
England, to implore the assistance of Queen Elizabeth, and a treaty was at last concluded, by which
n body of troops was sent to their assistance. Thes6
being joined by most of the Scottish nobility, a peace
was established on the 8th July, 1560, hy which
�21
the reformed religion was fully established in Scot*
land.
On the abolition of Popery, the form of church
goverment establishment in Scotland was, upon the
model of the church at Geneva, warmly recommended to his countrymen by Knox, as being farthest
removed from all similarity to the Romish church ;
and at his suggestion, likewise, the country was
divided into twelve districts, for the more effectually propagating the doctrines of the Reformation, of
which Edinburgh was assigned to his care.
Knox,
assisted by his brethren afterwards composed a confession of Faith, and compiled the first books of
discipline for the govern merit of the church.
These
were ratified by a convention of Estates, held in the
beginning of the following year ( 1571), and an act
passed prohibiting mass and abolishing the authority of the Pope.
On the return of Mary, daughter of Mary of
Guise, from France, and so well known afterwards
throughtout all Europe for her beauty, her accomplishments, and her misfortunes, after the death of
her husband Francis II. the celebration of mass in
the chapel royal excited a great tumult, many crying out, " The idolatrous papist shall die the death,
according to God's l a w ; " and John Knox, in a
sermon preached the Sunday following after showing the judgments inflicted on nations for idolatry,
added, (< one mass is more fearful to me than if ten
thousand armed enemies were landed in any part
of the realm, of purpose to suppress the whole religion." In consequence of this language he was
sent for by the queen, who accused him of endeavouring to excite her subjects to rebellion, of having
�22
written against her lawful authority, and of being
the cause of great sedition. To this he answered,
among other things, " that if to teach the w7ord of
God in sincerity, if to rebute idolatry, and to will
a people to worship God according to his word, be
to raise subjects against their princes, then cannot
I be excused; for it hath pleased God in his mercy
to make me one amongst many to disclose unto this
realm the vanity of the papistical religion.—And
touching that book, that seemeth so highly to offend
your majesty, it is most certain that if I wrote it I
am content that all the learned of the land should
judge of it. M y hope is, that, so long as ye defile
not your hands with the blood of the saints of God,
that neither 1 nor that book shall either hurt you
or your authority; for, in very deed, Madam, that
book was written most especially against that wicked Mary of England.''
To a question by the
Queen, if subjects, having power, may resist their
princes P He boldly answered they might, " if
princes do exceed their bounds." The following
part of the dialogue will give a good idea of the
character of Knox, and the freedom of his speech :
Speaking of the church, the Queen observed, " but
ye are not the church of Rome, for I think it is
the true church of God." " Your will, Madam,"
said he, ( i is no reason; neither doth your thought
make that Roman harlot to be the immaculate
spouse of Jesus Christ. And wonder not, M a dam, that I call Rome an harlot, for that church
is altogether polluted with all kinds of spiritual
fornication, as well in doctrine as in matters." He
had afterwards two other conferences with the queen.
�23
at the last of which she burst into tears, crying
out, " Never prince was used as I am."
Knox's situation became very critical in April,
1571, when Kircaldy received the Hamiltons, with
their forces, into the castle. Their inveteracy
against him was so great, that his friends were
obliged to watch his house during the night. They
proposed forming a guard for the protection of his
person when he went abroad; but the governor of
the castle forbade this, as implying a suspicion of
him, and offered to send Melvil, one of his officers,
to conduct him to and from church.
" He wold
gif the woulf the wedder to keip," says Bannatyne.
Induced by the importunity of the citizens, K i r caldy applied to the Duke and his party for a special
protection to K n o x ; but they refused to pledge
tkeir word for his safety, because " there were many
rascals and others among them who loved him not,
that might do him harm without their knowledge.''
Intimations were often given him of threatenings
against his life; and one evening, a musket ball was
fired in at his window, and lodged in the roof of the
apartment in which he was sitting. It happened
that he sat at the time in a different part of the
room from that in which he had been accustomed to
take his seat, otherwise the ball, from its direction,
must have struck him.
Alarmed by these circumstances, a deputation of the citizens, accompanied
by his colleague, waited upon him, and renewed a
request whfch they had formerly made, that he
would remove from Edinburgh, to a place where his
life would be in greater safety, until the Queen's
party should evacuate the town. But he refused
to yield to them, apprehending that his en*mi#»
�24
wished to intimidate him into flight, that they
might carry on their designs more quietly, and then
accuse him of cowardice. Being unable to persuade him by any other means, they at last had recourse to an argument which prevailed.
Upon this
he consented, " sore against his will," to remove
from the city.
In May, 1571, at the desire of his friends, and
for greater security, he left that city for St A n d rew's, where he remained until the August following. The cause that forced him to change his residence having ceased to operate, at the express desire of his congregation he again returned, but could
not long continue to preside over it, on account of
the exhausted state of his health ; and on the 9th
November, abrnitted M r James Lawson, formerly
professsor of philosophy at Aberdeen, to be his
successor.
From this time till the 24th of the same month,
when he expired, about eleven o'clock at night, inthe 67 th year of his age; his principal employment
was reading the Scriptures and conversing with his
friends ; and over his remains, which were accompanied to the churchyard by the Earl of Morton,
the Regent, and a number of other noblemen, and
people of all ranks, his lordship pronounced the following eulogium: " Here lies a man, who in his
life never feared the face of man ; who hath been
often threatened with dag and dagger, but yet hath
ended his days in peace and honour."

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This biography tells the life and history of Alexander Peden, a renegade Presbyterian minister after the Restoration. The author focuses specifically on the many instances where Peden was reported to made a prediction or prophecy of upcoming events that then came true. The source for many of these stories apparently came from first-hand and second-hand accounts from individuals who had witnessed these events and were later interviewed by the author.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This chapbook includes two tales based on historical characters followed by a short anecdotal tale. The first story describes the life of Jane Shore, from childhood in a merchant family, to marriage to a goldsmith, to life as mistress to Edward IV and others, to her fall and punishment during the reign of Richard III. The tale is followed by the supposed words of lamentation, bewailing her adulterous career. The second story tells the tale of a Scottish soldier who was billeted in a French home following the victory at Waterloo, during which time he became beloved by all the family, especially the youngest daughter. After he is recalled to England, the young French woman decides to follow him after a period of two years, whereupon they are reunited in Glasgow. The final story is a short anecdotal story in which a young man is accused of theft after he is seen leaving the robbed house in the middle of the night, due to the fact that he was actually sneaking out after spending the evening illicitly with the daughter of the house. Judicial proceedings, torture, false confession, and a sentence of execution follow, only to be narrowly avoided in the end by the apprehension of the true burglars.
