But as a scholar he was of European reputation; haunted the Court as tutor of his King, and was the "good pen" of the anti-Marian nobles, Murray, Morton, and the rest. Therefore Buchanan's portrait was painted, while of Knox we have only a woodcut, done, apparently, after his death, from descriptions, for Beza's Icones. The Folio engraving may have no better source.
Saravia had, by the help of Bishop Whitgift, made such an early discovery of their intentions, that he had almost as soon answered that Treatise as it became public; and he therein discovered how Beza's opinion did contradict that of Calvin's and his adherents; leaving them to interfere with themselves in point of Episcopacy.
But he answered nothing, and I looked at him in great surprise. 'You have made up your mind, then, at last? I said. 'Perfectly, he answered. 'And solved all your doubts? 'I have no doubts. 'You are a Huguenot? 'That is the only true and pure religion, he replied gravely. And with apparent sincerity and devotion he repeated Beza's Confession of Faith.
Whether Knox at any time followed him there does not appear. Beza, Knox's earliest biographer, thought he did. But Beza's information as to this portion of the life, though apparently derived from Knox's colleague and successor, is so extremely confused as to suggest that the Reformer was equally reticent about it to those nearest him as he has chosen to be to posterity.
To do this, it will be necessary to refer to the rule under which we were directed to carry out this portion of our responsible work. We had two things to do to revise the Authorised Version, and also to revise under certain specified limitations the Greek text from which the Authorised Version was made; or, in other words, the fifth edition of Beza's Greek Testament, published in the year 1698.
Strahan, vicar of Islington, in Middlesex, Mill's Greek Testament, Beza's Greek Testament, by Stephens, all my Latin Bibles, and my Greek Bible, by Wechelius. To Dr. Heberden, Dr. Brocklesby, Dr. Butter, and Mr. Cruikshank, the surgeon who attended me, Mr. Holder, my apothecary, Gerard Hamilton, Esq., Mrs. Frances Reynolds, Mr. Hoole, and the Reverend Mr.
The nearest approach to an authentic portrait of Knox is a woodcut, engraved after a sketch from memory by Peter Young, and after another sketch of the same kind by an artist in Edinburgh. Compared with the peevish face of Calvin, also in Beza's Icones, Knox looks a broad-minded and genial character. But concerned it usually was!
The pocket psalm-book of Gabriel Bernon, the builder of the old French Fort at Oxford, is one of Marot and Beza's Version, and is still preserved and owned by one of his descendants; other New England families of French lineage cherish as precious relics the French psalm-books of their Huguenot ancestors.
"Tom Sternhold's" songs were entitled to be called prick-songs because they had notes of music printed with them. Hence they were irreverently called "Genevan Jiggs," and "Beza's Ballets." There is much difference shown in the wording of these various editions of Sternhold and Hopkins' Psalms.
The illustrious Buchanan was one of those who thus fled. Knox remained, and suddenly becomes visible. Knox's later biographer, Dr Hume Brown, has given to the world a letter from Sir Peter Young to Beza, transmitting a posthumous portrait of Knox, which is thus no doubt the original of the likeness in Beza's Icones, and makes the latter our only trustworthy representation of him.
