Mr. George Wisheart a famous Minister was sent for to appear before Cardinal Beton and the other Bishops at St. Andrews where a Priest was ordered to curse him who called him Renegade Traitor Thief c. However Mr. Wisheart gave them an account of his Faith and Doctrine but they not being able to answer him immediately condemned him to be Burnt and presently a Fire was prepared over against the Castle and Velvet Cushions were laid in the Castle-windows for the Cardinal and the rest of the Prelates to see him suffer and for fear he should be rescued by his friends all the Castle Guns were mounted against the place of his Execution by the Cardinals order then with a Rope about his Neck and a Chain about his middle he was fastned to the Stake and having earnestly prayed and exhorted the People and forgiven his enemies and persecutors he said thus I Beseech you Brethren Exhort your Prelates to learn the Word of God that they may be ashamed to do evil and learn to do good or else there shall come upon them the Wrath of God which they shall not eschew Then the Hangman upon his knees said Sir I pray forgive me for I am not the cause of your Death Mr. Wisheart called him to him and kissing his Cheek said Lo here is a token that I forgive thee My heart do thine Office and so he was tyed to the Stake and the fire kindled The Captain of the Castle came to him and bid him be of good Courage to whom Mr. Wisheart said This fire Torments my Body but no whit abates my Spirits then looking towards the Cardinal he said He who in such State from that high place feeds his eyes with my Torments within few days shall be hanged out at the same Window with as much shame and ignominy as he there leans with Pride then his Breath being stopt with the Flames he gave up the Ghost This Prophecy was fulfilled in a short time after for the people being generally discontented at the Cruelty used against Mr. Wisheart several persons conspired against him and killed him in the Castle and the Provost raising the Town came to the Castle Gates crying What have you done with my Lord Cardinal where is he To whom they answered from within Return to your Houses for he hath received his reward and will trouble the World no more But they cryed We will never depart till we see him Then was he hanged out at that very window to satisfie them he was dead and so the people departed Shortly after one Adam Wallace was Burned likewise and Henry Forest suffered the same Cruel Death upon Account of Heresie One Walter Will was accused for Heresie and being bid to recant he said I am Corn and not Chaff I will not recant the Truth and being thereupon condemned to the Fire and all things made ready to that purpose they commanded him to go to the Stake No said he by the Laws of God I am forbidden to lay hands on my my self therefore do you put me in the Fire and you shall see my resolution Having then made his Prayer unto God he spake thus to the people Although I have been a Great Sinner yet it is not for that but for Gods Truth contained in his Word of the Old and New Testament that I now suffer and God out of his abundant Mercy doth honour me so far as to make me among other of his Servants to seal his Truth with my Blood Dear Friends as you would escape Eternal Death be no more seduced with the Lies of Archbishops Bishops Abbots Priors c. but trust only in God After he had thus spoke he was tyed to the Stake and the Fire being kindled he quietly slept in the Lord and was the last person that died for the Protestant Religion in Scotland In the year of our Lord 1641. there brake forth a most horrid and Bloody Rebellion and Massacre of the Irish Papists committed on the English in Ireland a Nation famous for the Birth of divers worthy persons therein but none more renowned than that Excellent Learned and Religious Person James Usher late Ld. Archbishop of Armagh and Lord Primate of Ireland who amongst many other extraordinary Gifts and Graces which it pleased the Almighty to bestow upon him was wonderfully endued with a Spirit of Prophecy from which among many other things he foretold this bloody Rebellion forty years before it came to pass in a Sermon which he preached at Dublin in the Year 1601. where from Ezekiel 4.6 discoursing concerning the Prophets bearing the Iniquity of Judah forty days the Lord therein appointing a day for a Year he made this direct application in relation to the Connivance at Popery at that time From this Year says he will I reckon the sin of Ireland that those whom you now embrace shall be your Ruin and you shall bear your Iniquity which Prediction proved exactly true for from that time 1601. to the year 1641. was just forty years in which it is notoriously known that the Rebellion and destruction of Ireland happened and which was acted by those Popish Priests Jesuits and other Papists which were then connived at For the Jesuits Priests and Friars were the chief Instigators to this horrid Massacre by continually incensing and stirring up the Popish Gentry and Commonalty to shew the utmost of their Zeal therein and this without any provocation given by the English for it was observed that they had all the Liberty they could reasonably desire and that there was not any reason for such Cruel Proceedings against the English but only for that damnable and unpardonable sin of being Protestants And the Popish Clergy the more to engage the deluded Papists to murther them every where loudly declaimed That they were Hereticks and not fit to be suffered any longer amongst them that it was no more sin to kill one of them than to kill a Dog and that it was a mortal and unpardonable sin to relieve or protect any of them And when their business was so fixt that they did not fear any miscarriage the success of this Great Design was recommended in their Publick Prayers as tending very much to the advancement of the Catholick cause and they likewise maliciously represented to the People the severe proceedings against the Papists in England All things being in a readiness they proceeded to the Execution of this Damnable Contrivance but their proceeding therein was various some
