Give the death scene of John Resby, Paul Craw, Patrick Hamilton, Helen Stark, George Wishart. How may the study of the martyrs' lives purify, strengthen, and ennoble our lives? "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." This crimson adage is a striking truth.
Yet there were some who arose in the majesty of redeemed manhood and confessed Jesus, testifying to His truth in defiance of the powers of darkness. To them truth was sweeter than life. John Resby is on record as one among the first witnesses, who heralded a glorious reformation for Scotland.
One Resby, a heretical English priest, was arraigned and burned at Perth in 1407, under Laurence of Lindores, the Dominican Inquisitor into heresies, who himself was active in promoting Scotland's oldest University, St Andrews. The foundation was by Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St Andrews, by virtue of a bull from the anti-pope Benedict XIII., of February 1414.
