About This Book

A historical sketch recounts the life, labours, and martyrdom of a seventeenth-century Scottish religious dissenter, describing his humble upbringing, early piety, ministry, arrest and execution, and a sustained defence of his character and testimony. It situates his witness within the wider context of prelatic persecution and measures to suppress church independence, assembles memorials and letters as supporting evidence, and considers how his steadfast testimony shaped later devotion and debates over ecclesiastical liberty and conscience.
