The eminently godly Laird of Pitarro had the office of paying the preachers, in which he was so niggardly that the proverb ran, "The good Laird of Pitarro was an earnest professor of Christ, but the great devil receive the Comptroller." When she scattered his party after Riccio's murder, he went the full length of the expression, in his "History."
The Protestants, not being inhabitants of Edinburgh, shall depart next day. They shall deliver the stamps for coining to persons appointed by the Regent, hand over Holyrood, and Ruthven and Pitarro shall be pledges for performance. They shall be dutiful subjects, except in matters of religion.
His career might have rivalled that of the equally low-born Cardinal Alberoni, but for the daggers of Moray's party. In the General Assembly of June 1564, Moray, Morton, Glencairn, Pitarro, Lethington, and other Lords of the Congregation held aloof from the brethren, but met the Superintendents and others to discuss the recent conduct of our Reformer, who was present.
Erskine, commanding the Castle, fired six or seven shots as a protest, and the noise of these disturbed the prophet at his task. Moray, Ochiltree, Pitarro, and many others being now exiles in England, whose Queen had subsidised and repudiated them and their revolution, things went hard with the preachers.
