About this book
The Life of James Renwick is a historical sketch of his life, labours and martyrdom and a vindication of his character and testimony, by Thomas Houston. The opening says the life was originally written as an introduction to The Letters of Renwick.
The historical introduction says the prophet's message to Eli, them that honour me I will honour, declares a fundamental law of the divine government. The introduction says the age in which the martyrs and their principles were kept entombed, by heaping on them reproach and slander, is past, and that their names are destined not to perish. The text says testimony against the Indulgence and against unconstitutional power was firmly maintained by Richard Cameron during the whole of his public ministry. The book quotes a description of Renwick as not only the last martyr of the Covenanting struggle, but also as the Proto-martyr of the Revolution.
