At this time there was a Sermone made by Fryer Spence,1 in saint Johnston, alias called Perth, affirming prayer made •o saints to be so necessary, that without it there could be no hope of salvation to man. Which blasphemous doctrine a Burges of the said town called Robert Lamb, could not abide, but accused him in open audience, of erroneous doctrine, and adjured him in Gods name to utter the trueth. The which the Friar being stricken with fear, promised to do, but the trouble, tumult, and stir of the people increased so, that the Friar could have no audience, and yet the said Robert with great danger of his life escaped the hands of the multitude,2 namely of the women, who contrary to nature, addressed them to extreme cruelty against him.
