{113b} The learned Dr. M’Crie does not refer to this letter to Mrs. Locke, but observes:  “None of the gentry or sober part of the congregation were concerned in this unpremeditated tumult; it was wholly confined to the lowest of the inhabitants” (M’Crie’s Life of Knox, 127, 1855).  Yet an authority dear to Dr. M’Crie, “The Historie of the Estate of Scotland,” gives the glory, not to the lowest of the inhabitants, but to “the brethren.”  Professor Hume Brown blames “the Perth mob,” and says nothing of the action of the “brethren,” as described to Mrs. Locke by Knox.  John Knox, ii. 8.

{117} Theses of Erastus.  Rev. Robert Lee.  Edinburgh, 1844.

{120} Knox, i. 341,342; vi. 24.  Did the brethren promise nothing but the evacuation of Perth?

{121a} “Historie,” Wodrow Miscellany, i. 58.

{121b} Knox, i. 343, 344.  The Congregation are said to have left Perth on May 29.  They assert their presence there on May 31, in their Band.

{122} Edinburgh Burgh Records.

{123a} But see Knox, i. 347-349.  Is a week (June 4 to June 11) accidentally omitted?

{123b} Writing on June 23, Knox dates the “Reformation” “June 14.”  His dates, at this point, though recorded within three weeks, are to me inexplicable.  Knox, vi. 25.

{124} Keith, i. 265, note.

{125a} Lesley, ii. 443, Scottish Text Society.

{125b} For.  Cal.  Eliz., 1558-59, 367.

{133a} For.  Cal.  Eliz., 1558-59, 278.  Erroneously dated “May 24” (?).

{133d} For.  Cal.  Eliz., 336; Knox, i. 359, 360.

{134} Knox, i. 360-362.

{135a} Knox dates the entry of the Reformers into Edinburgh on June 29.  But he wrote to Mrs. Locke from Edinburgh on June 25, probably a misprint.  The date June 29 is given in the “Historie.”  Knox dates a letter to Cecil, “Edinburgh, June 28.”  The Diurnal of Occurrents dates the sack of monasteries in Edinburgh June 28.

{135b} Wodrow Miscellany, i. 62; Knox, i. 366, 367, 370.

{136a} Knox, i. 363-365; For.  Cal.  Eliz., 337.
