About this book
Biographia Scoticana (Scots Worthies) is by John Howie. The text says that a summary of church-affairs in Scotland has been brought down to the time of Mr. Patrick Hamilton, whose life stands upon the head of this collection. Some people are described as opprobriously called the Lollards of Kyle, from one Lollard an eminent preacher among the antient Waldenses, for maintaining that images ought not to be worshipped and that the relicts of saints should not be adored.
A man who did not relish a motion, saying he would not wish to sell his father's blood, made Mr. Livingston conclude that either he was not called to meddle in state matters, or else he should have little success. A man wrote to the king of France that the country was all out of order, because the mass and popery were not again fully erected in Scotland. The text says the queen, to be rid of him, caused to be given him a dose of poison.
