And for that purpose was directed to the West, the Earl of Arran, having joined with him the Earls of Argile and Glencarne, together with the Protestants of the West, who burnt Paslay (the Bishop of Saint Andrews, who was Abbey thereof, narrowly escaped) cast down Failfurd, Kylwinning, and a part of Cosraguell: The Lord James was appointed to the North, where he made such Reformation, as nothing contented the Earle of Huntly, and yet seemed he to approve all things.

Oh that we would rightly consider the wondrous works of the Lord our God.
