words said he can be uttered then to call the Pope the Vicar of Christ the successour of Peter the head of the universal Church most holy most blessed one who cannot erre that may make right of wrong and wrong of right that of nothing may make somewhat that hath all verity inclosed in the shrine of his breast that hath power over all men no man having power over him and through he draw ten thousand millions of souls with himself to hell that none may or ought to say that he doth wrong which words he shewed were expressed in the common law and could not be denied Another note more remarkable he adduced forth of S. Iohn his Revelation where it is said that the Babylonian whore shall make merchandise of the souls of men which never any did of what profession soever they were the Pope and his followers excepted for they said he take upon them to mitigate the paines of souls in Purgatory and to release them by saying of Masses selling of Pardons and Indulgences which none besides them ever did whereupon he inferred that the Church of Rome was quite degenerate from her first purity and that very beast foreshewed in the Scriptures c. At this Sermon Master Iohn Maior the Sub-prior a number of Chanons and Friers of both Orders with the whole University were present whom he appealed to answer his allegations if they found any one of them not consonant to truth The Archbishop being advertised of this wrote to the Sub-prior saying that he wondered how he could suffer such heretical and schismatical doctrines to be taught and not oppose himself thereto Whereupon Iohn Rough and Iohn Knox were cited to answer unto certain heads collected out of their Sermons and set down as followeth 1. That no mortal man can be the head of Christs Church 2. That the Pope is Antichrist and so not a member of Christs mystical body 3. That no man may make or devise a Religion that is acceptable to God but that he is bound to observe and keep the Religion received from God without chopping or changing the same 4. That the Sacraments of the New Testament ought to bee ministred as they were instituted by Christ Iesus and practised by his Apostles nor ought there any thing be added unto them nor diminished from them 5. That the Masse is abominable idolatry blasphemous to the death of Iesus Christ and a profanation to the Lords Suppers 6. That there is no Purgatory in the which the souls of men can either be pined or purged after this life Heaven being appointed for the faithful and Hell for the reprobate and unfaithful 7. That prayer for the dead is vain and to the dead is idolatry 8. That Bishops are no Bishops except they preach themselves wthout a Substitute 9. That tithes by Gods law do not appertain necessarily to Churchmen This last Article I would not omit because it is alledged by those that penned the story whether it was a point of Iohn Roughs preaching or not I cannot say but for Iohn Knox it is clear by his Sermons and writings still extant that he held it a point of high Sacriledge to rob and spoile the Church of tithes It is true that many in these times offending with the extortion of Churchmen did hold that tithes belonged not to the Church by any divine right and knowing that this opinion would find easie passage among the people as also serve to abridge the means and power of Churchmen they were the more ready to deliver such doctrines but this was done rather out of passion then judgement for he that will not wilfully shut his eyes against the truth cannot but know that tithes are the Lords and the portion that he hath served for the maintenance of his worship and service But to leave this The Sub-prior and others of the Clergy that convened with him having laid these Articles to their charge Iohn Knox answered that for himself he was glad to declare his mind in those points before so modest and judicious an auditory and turning to the Sub-prior It is a long time said he since I have heard that you are not ignorant of the truth Therefore I do appeal your conscience before the supreme Iudge that if you think the Articles wherewith we are charged contrarious to the truth of God that you plainly open your self and suffer not the people to be deceived but if in your conscience you know them to be true and sound then I will crave your patrocinie that by your authority the people may be moved to embrace the truth whereof now many doubt because of your indifferencie The Sub-prior answered That he came not there to judge but to conferre of these points and would if he pleased reason a little of the power of the Church which in my opinion said he may very lawfully devise rights and ceremonies for decoring the Sacraments and other parts of divine service Iohn Knox replying That no man in the worship of God might appoint any ceremony giving it a signification to his pleasure One Arbuthnet a gray Frier reasoned so hotly in the contrary that forgetting himself he denied the Apostles to have received the Holy Ghost when they penned their Epistles The Sub-prior checking the Frier did after a little space dimit the Preachers with a brotherly admonition to take heed what doctrine they delivered in publick When they were gone such of the Clergy as were present entred in consultation what was fittest to be done for staying the defection of the people and in end resolved that every learned man of the Abbey and University should preach in the Parish Churches on Sundayes the Sub-prior beginning the Officials following and the rest according to their seniority eschewing all of them to speak of any controverted point which might breed question and minister unto people occasion of talk Iohn Knox who by this mean was excluded from the Pulpit on the Sunday preached on the week dayes sometimes none daring to offer him any wrong because of the fear they stood in of them within the Castle But Iohn Rough being grieved with the wicked and licencious living of the souldiers and others in the Castle took his leave of them and departed into England preaching some years in the Townes of Carlile Berwick and Newcastle he was afterwards provided to a Benefice by the Archbishop of York nor farre from the Town of Hull and resided upon it untill the death of King Edward the sixth In the time of Queen Maries persecution he fled with the wife that he had married unto Friesland and wonne his living with the knitting of Caps hose and such like wares and in November 1557. coming to London for providing some necessaries to maintain his trade was apprehended by the Queens Vice-Chamberlain at the Saracens head in Islington where they who professed Religion used quietly to meet Being brought before Bonner Bishop of London and

nominate his base brother for the place who was elected by the Chanons and soon after confirmed by Pope Paul the third For he fearing the defection of the Realme from the obedience of the Romane See as England had given the ensample was glad to gratifie the Governour and with the Bulls which were freely exped wrote both to the Governour and to the Bishop that they should make their zeal appear in vindicating the injury done to the Ecclesiastick estate Upon the receipt of these letters it was resolved to besiege the Castle which beginning about the end of August continued untill the moneth of Ianuary howbeit to small effect for the passage by Sea being open they were supplyed with all necessaries from England by King Henry to whom they had obliged their faith by two several messages for defending the Castle and maintaining the contract with England which the Governour fearing he was induced to capitulate with the besieged and yield unto the conditions following 1. That the Governour should procure unto them a sufficient absolution from the Pope for the slaughter of the Cardinal and till the same was returned that they should retain the Castle and not be pursued by force 2. That they their friends servants and partakers should simply be remitted by the Governour and never be called in question for the said slaughter but should enjoy all commodities spiritual and temporal which they possessed before the committing thereof 3. That the besieged should give pledges for rendering the Castle how soon the absolution was returned from Rome and for surety of the pledges that the Earl of Arran eldest sonne to the Governour should remain in their custody untill the absolution was returned and they secured to their content The conditions were to the besieged more advantagious then honourable to the Governour but neither the one nor the other intended performance for the Governour at the same time sent a messenger to France with letters from the Queen Dowager and from himself intreating a supply of Ships and Gallies to batter the house on that part which looked towards the Sea and debarre the Keepers of further provision They on the other side were resolved not to forsake King Henries protection of whose assistance they were confident The proceedings of the next summer shall clear the intentions on either side in the mean time let us hear how the affaires of Religion went the rest of this winter Divers as we touched before upon the newes of the Cardlnals death came and joyned with those that had killed him especially Master Henry Balnaves the Melvils of the house of Raith and some Gentlemen of Fife to the number of sevenscore persons who all entered into the Castle the day after the slaughter and abode there during the time of the first siege Iohn Rough he that had attended the Governour as Chaplain in the beginning of his Regiment came also thither and became their Preacher After him came Iohn Knox but not till the siege was raised and the appointment made whereof we have spoken The adversaries of Religion taking advantage of this did cast in the teeth of both the Preachers and Professours the murther committed as though they did all approve the same and Bishop Lesley in his Chronicle speaking of Iohn Knox saying that He did think to attain to the top of Evangelical profession by triumphing that way upon the slaughter of a Priest and Cardinall I deny not but this his doing was scarce allowable and that it had been a wiser part in him not to have gone towards them at all yet since he did neither accompany them at the fact nor came unto them till the conditions of peace were granted his guiltinesse was not such as they make it to be neither will I say that he was grieved at the Cardinals death but rather glad that such an enemy was taken out of the way but that he did insult upon his death or allow the manner of it cannot be truly affirmed as to that which is objected forth of the narration made of this accident in the book intituled The History of the Church of Scotland where the Authour seemeth indeed to commend the fact though that history be ascribed to Iohn Knox it is sure that he did not penne the same as I shall make clear in another place How soon the Governour was gone Iohn Rough did openly preach in the Parish Church and was much haunted by the people at which the Clergy offending a great stirre was raised Dean Iohn Anand oppugning his doctrine both by word and writing Iohn Knox did take on him to maintain the same and the matter being brought to a dispute after long reasoning upon the authority of the Romane Church Iohn Knox did offer to prove That the present Church of Rome was more degenerate from the purity which it had in the dayes of the Apostles then was the Church of the Jewes from the Ordinances given by Moses when they consented to the death of our Saviour Such as were present at the reasoning having requested Iohn Knox to make good what he had spoken he took occasion the Sunday following to preach in the Parish Church chusing for his Theam the 24 and 25. verses of the seventh Chapter of Daniel In the Sermon after he had spoken of the care that God had alwayes of his Church to forewarne her of the dangers that were to happen many years before the same fell out and illustrated that point by the predictions of Israels captivity the prophesie of the four Empires namely the Babylonian Persian Grecian and Romane and foretelling of the Beast that should afise out of the destruction of the Romane Empire he said that by that Beast the Church of Rome was to be understood in regard all the marks assigned by Daniel did pertain to that Church and to no other power which ever was in the world Then falling to speak of Antichrist he shewed that there was not any one person meant by that title but a body and multitude of people having a wicked head that should not only be sinful himself but the occasion also of sin to all that should be subject unto him And that he was called Antichrist because he was contrary to Christ in life and doctrine in lawes The contrariety of life he made clearly by deciphering the corrupt and beastly conversation both of the Popes themselves and of their Clergy The contraiety of doctrine he qualified by comparing the doctrine of the justification by faith taught in the Scriptures with the doctrine of justification by works maintained by the Church of Rome And the contrariety of lawes he proved by the observation of dayes abstaining from mears and forbidding of marriage which Christ had made free In end he came to speak of the marks of the Beast one he said was in the Text where it was said He shall speak great words against the most high but what greater

servants at the ordinary hour she went to bed and slept some hours quietly after which having awaked she spent the rest of the night in prayer The day beginning to break she apparelled her self as she was wont to do on the Festival days and calling together her servants shewed unto them her Will desiring them to take in good part the Legacies she had bequeathed unto them since her means were at the time no better and then gave her self wholly to devotion About eight of the clock the Sheriffe of the Shire named named Thomas Andrews entered the Chappel where she was praying on her knees and told her that all was ready and I am likewise said she Thus arising she came forth to her Chamber of presence where she made a short speech to her servants willing them to fear God and live vertuously and so kissing her women and giving the men-servants her hand to kisse she bad them farewel The Earls and other Gentlemen meeting her she shewed a most chearful countenance nothing dejected but looking grave and devout with a Crucifix of Ivory in her hands As she was going towar●s the Hall where she was to suffer when Andrew Melvil her Steward did bewaile his mishap in that he should be the carrier of the news of his Ladies death into Scotland she said Do not lament but rather be glad for thou shalt straightway see Mary Stewart delivered from all her cares you may tell them that I die constant in my Rel●gion and firm in affection towards Scotland and France Hitherto thou haft served me faithfully and howbeit I take thee to be in Religion a Protestant and I my self am Catholick yet seeing there is but one Christ I charge thee upon thine accompt to him that thou carry these my last wo●ds to my sonne and shew that I pray him to serve God to defend the Catholick Church and govern his Kingdom in peace and n●ver to put himself in the power of another as I have done Certify him that I have done nothing pre●udicial to the Crown of Scotland and will him to keep friendship wi●h the ●ueen England and serve thou him faithfully With these words some tears falling from her e●e she bad him farewell After this she was brought to the Hall in the midst whereof over against the Chimney where was a great fire a scaffold was erected of two foot high and twe●ve ●oot broad h●ving two steps to ascend the Scaffold was railed about almost a yard high and all covered with black cloth as were the Chair Stools and block and Cu●hions to kneel upon Before she went up turning to the Earls she requested that her servants might stand by at her death They answered that their passionate weeping would diquiet her and do no good else Nay said she I will promise for them they shall not do so it is but a small favour and such as Queen Elizabeth would not deny me to have my maids present She named Melvil her Steward Bu●got● her Physician her Apothecary and Chirurgeon with two maids Being on the Scaffold and silence made the Cle●k of the Councel did read the Commission which she listened to as it had been some other matter That ended the Dean of Pe●erburrow began to remember her of her present condition and to comfort her in the best way he could she interrupting his speech willed him to hold his peace for that she would not hear him An when excusing himself that what he did was by command of her Majesties Councel he began again to speak Peace Mr. Dean said she I have nothing to do with you nor you with me The Noblemen desiring him not to trouble her further she said That is best for I am setled in the ancient Catholick Religion wherein I was born and bred and new will die in the same The Earl of Kent saying that as yet they would not cease to pray unto God for her that he would vouchsafe to open her eyes and enlighten her mind with the knowledge of his truth that she might die therein She answered That you may do at your pleasure but I will pray by my self So the Dean conceiving a prayer and all the company following him she likewise prayed aloud in the Latin Tongue and when the Dean had finished she in the English Language commended unto God the estate of the afflicted Church prayed for her sonne that he might prosper and live happily and for Queen Elizabeth that she might live long and govern her subjects peace bly●a●ding that she hoped only to be saved by the blood of Christ at the fee● of whose picture presented on the Crucifix she would willingly shed her blood Then lifting up the ●rucifix and kissing it she said As thy arms O Christ were spread abroad on the Cr●sse so with the on stretched Armes of thy mercy receive me and forgive me my sins This said she rose up and was by two of her women disrobed of her upper garments the executioners offering their help and putting to their hands she put them back saying She was not accustomed to be served with such grooms nor dressed before such a multitude Her upper robe taken off she did quickly lose her doublet which was laced on the back and putting on her Armes a pair of silken sleeves her body covered with a smock only she kissed her maids again and bad them farewel They bursting forth in tears she said I promised for you that you should be quiet get you hence and remember me After which kneeling down most resolutely and with the least token of fear that might be having her eyes covered with a handkerchief she repeated the Psalm In te Domine confido ne confundar in aeternum Then stretching forth her body with great quietnesse and laying her neck over the block she cried aloud In manus tuas Domine commendo spiritum meum One of the executioners holding down her hands the other at two blowes cut off her head which falling out of her attire seemed to be somewhat gray All things about her were taken from the executioners and they not suffered to carry their Aprons or anything else with them that her blood had touched the clothes and block were also burnt her body embalmed and in solemn manner buried in the Cathedral Church at Peterburrow and after many years taken up by the King her son and interred at Westminster amongst the rest of the Kings This was the end of Queen Maries life a Princesse of many rare vertues but crossed with all the crosses of Fortune which never any did bear with greater courage and magnanimity to the last Upon her return from France for the first two or three years she carried her self most worthily but then giving ear to some wicked persons and transported with the passion of revenge for the indignity done unto her in the murther of David Rizio her Secretary she fell into a Labyrinth of troubles which forced her

he did see them fall a wrestling he excused himself by a sudden fear that overtook him in the time and indeed he lookt ever after that time as one half distracted It was much marvelled that in so high an attempt the Earl should have made choice of such a one but the man was of a servile spirit and apt enough to doe mischief and many have conjectured that if the treason had taken effect it was in the Earls purpose to have made away both his brother and him that he might not be supposed to have had any knowledge thereof I remember my self that meeting with Mr. William Cowper then Minister at Perth the third day after in Falkland he shewed me that not many daies before that accident visiting by occasion the Earl at his own house he found him reading a book entituled De conjurationibus adversus Principes and having asked him what a book it was he answered That it was a Collection of the Conspiracies made against Princes which he said was foolishly contrived all of them and faulty either in one point or other for he that goeth about such a business should not said he put any man on his counsell And he not liking such discourses desired him to lay away such books and read others of a better subject I verily think he was then studying how to go beyond all Conspirators recorded in any History but it pleased God who giveth salvation to Kings as the Psalme speaketh to infatuate his counsels and by his ensample to admonish all disloyall and trayterous subjects to beware of attempting against their Soveraigns Advertisement sent the next day to the Councel which then remained at Edinburgh the Ministers of the Town were called and desired to convene their people and give thanks unto God for his Majesties deliverance They excusing themselves as not being acquainted with the particulars nor how those things had fallen out it was answered that they were only to signifie how the King had escaped a great danger and to stirre up the people to thanksgiving They replied That nothing ought to be delivered in pulpit but that whereof the truth was known and that all which is uttered in that place should be spoken in faith When by no perswasion they could be moved to perform that duty it was resolved that the Councell should go together to the Market-crosse and that the Bishop of Rosse should after a narration of the Kings danger and deliverance conceive a publick Thanksgiving which was done the multitude applauding and expressing a great joy The Munday following the King came to Edinburgh accompanied with divers Noblemen and Barons and heard a Sermon preached at the Crosse by Mr. Patrick Galloway who choosed the 124 Psalme for his Theme did take occasion to discourse of all the particulars of that Conspiracy and gave the people great satisfaction for many doubted that there had been any such Conspiracy the condition of Princes beeing as the Emperor Domitian said herein miserable that even when Conspiracies made against their persons are discovered yet they are not credited unlesse they be slain The next day the King in a solemn Councell kept at Halirudhouse to testifie his thankfulness for his deliverance and to perpetuate the memory thereof did mortifie for the entertainment of some poor men the rent of 1000 pounds yearly to be taken of the readiest fruits of the Abbacy of Scone and ordained an honourable reward to be given to the three Gentlemen that had been the instruments of his preservation and the cause of the reward to be specified in their Patents After this order was taken for a publick and solemn Thanksgiving to be made in all the Churches of the Kingdome and the last Tuesday of September with the Sunday following appointed for that exercise The Ministers of Edinburgh who gave the refuse were commanded to remove themselves out of the Town within 48 hours and inhibited to preach within his Majesties Dominions under pain of death Mr. Walter Balcanquell Mr. William Watson and Mr. Iohn Hall three of that number compeiring at Striveling the 10 of September and declaring That they were throughly resolved of the truth of Gowries Conspiracy and willing to amend their former fault were pardoned upon condition that before their return to Edinburgh they should in the Churches appointed to them publickly preach and declare their perswasion of the truth of that treason craving God and his Majesty forgiveness for the question they made thereof and rebuking all such as continued in that doubtfulness The Churches designed to them were Tranent Mussilburgh and Dalkeith for Mr. VValter Balcanquell Dunbar and Dunf for Mr. VVilliam VVatson and for Mr. Iohn Hall Dunfermlin S. Andrews and Perth Mr. Iames Balfour the day following upon the like confession was remitted and ordained to publish his resolution in the Churches of Dundie Montrosse Aberbrothock and Brichen But Mr. Robert Bruce taking a course by himself and saying He would reverence his Majesties reports of that accident but could not say he was perswaded of the truth of it was banished the Kings Dominions and went unto France The 15 of November a Parliament was held at Edinburgh wherein sentence of forfeiture was pronounced against Gowrie and Mr. Alexander his Brother their posterity disinherited and in detestation of the paricide attempted the whole surname of Ruthven abolished But this last was afterwards dispensed with and such of that name as were known to be innocent tolerated by the Kings clemency to enjoy their surnames and titles as in former times The bodies of the two brothers being brought to the Parliament house were after sentence given hanged upon a gibbet in the publick street and then dismembred their heads cut off and affixed upon the top of the prison house This done the Estates in acknowledgment of the favours and grace they all had received of God by the miraculous and extraordinary preservation of his Majesty from that treasonable attempt did ordain That in all times and ages to come the fifth of August should be solemnly kept with prayers preachings and thanksgiving for that benefit discharging all work labour and other occupations upon the said day which might distract the people in any sort from those pious exercises Divers other good and profitable Acts as well for the Church as Kingdome were concluded in this Parliament as the Act decerning all Marriages contracted betwixt persons divorced for adultery to be null and the children begotten by such unlawfull conjunction incapable of succession to their parents inheritance As also the Act made for removing and extinguishing of deadly feuds which the King had ever striven to abolish was in that time confirmed by the whole Estates Upon the close of the Parliament the King went to Dunfermlin to visit the Queen who was brought to bed of a Son The Christening was hastned because of the weakness of the Childe and that
