and so he suffered death for his faithful testimony of the truth of Christ, and of his Gospel at the Northchurche stile of the Abbey Church of S. Andrew, to the intent that all the people of Anguish might see the fire, and so might be the more feared from falling into the like doctrine, which they term by the name of heresie, Ex Scripto testimonio Scotorum.

M Norman Gurlay. | Within a year after the martyrdom of Henry Forest, or there about,¹ was called James Hamilton of Kynclitgowe, his sister Katherine Hamilton, the spouse of the captain of Dunbar, also an other honest woman of Lieth, David Straton of the house of Lawristonne, and M. Norman Gurlay. These were called to the Abbey Church of Halyrowdhouse in Edinburgh, by James Hay, Bishop of Rose, commissioner to James Beton Archbishop, in presence of King James the fifth of that name: who upon the day of their accusation, was altogether clad in red apparel. James Hamilton, was accused as one that maintained the opinions of M. Patrick his brother. To whom the King gave counsel to depart, and not to appear: for in case he appeared, he could not help him, because the Bishops had persuaded him, that the cause of heresy did in no wise appertain unto him and so James fled and was condemned as an heretic, & all his goods and lands confiscate, and disposed unto others. Catherine Hamilton his Sister, appeared upon the scaffold, and being accused of an horrible heresy, to wit, that her own works could not save her, she granted the same, and after long reasoning between her and M. John Spens the Lawyer, she concluded in this manner: work here, work there: what kind of working is all this?² I know perfectly that no kind of works can save me, but only the works of Christ my Lord and Saviour. The king hearing these words, turned him about and laughed, and called her unto him and caused her to recant, because she was his aunt, and she escaped. The woman of Leith was detected hereof, that when the midwife in time of her labour, bad her say our Lady help me: She cried, Christ help me, Christ help me, in whose help I trust.³
