I<PT3>T <PT1>is a thing past all contesting, that, in the
Reformation, there was a spirit of far greater
carnality among the champions of the cause,
than among those who in later times so
courageously, under the Lord, upheld the
unspotted banners of the Covenant.  This I
speak of from the remembrance of many aged
persons, who either themselves bore a part in
that war with the worshippers of the Beast and
his Image, or who had heard their fathers tell
of the heart and mind wherewith it was carried
on, and could thence, with the helps of their own
knowledge, discern the spiritual and hallowed
difference. But, as I intend mainly to bear
witness to those passages of the late bloody
persecution in which I was myself both a soldier
and a sufferer, it will not become me to brag of
our motives and intents, as higher and holier
than those of the great elder Worthies of %"the . . .

I<PT3>N <PT1>the morning, all those who were in the house
with the Earl of Murray and John Knox were
early a-foot, and after prayers had been said,
they went out to meet the Queen at her place
of landing from the castle, which stands on an
islet at some distance from the shore; but,
before they reached the spot, she was already
mounted on her jennet and the hawks unhooded,
so that they were obligated to follow her
Highness to the ground, the Reformer leaning
on the Earl, who proffered him his left arm as
they walked up the steep bank together from
the brim of the lake.<QL>
<EM>The Queen was on the upland when they
drew near to the field, and on seeing them

<EM>I halted for a moment, and the soldiers seemed
to thaw with compassion; but my hands were
tied,_I was a captive on the threshold of the
dungeon, and I could only shut my eyes and bid
the stern agents of the persecutors go on.  Still
the cry of my distracted child knelled in my ear,
and my agony grew to such a pitch, that I flew
forward up the steps, and, in the dismal vaults
within, sought refuge from the misery of
my child.<QL><SP2>

and the cord wherewith my hands were bound
