Reformation in Scotland - Knox - XIII - Chapter 3 of Book 3

Required reading
Reformation in Scotland by John Knox, edited by C J Guthrie (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Chapter 3 of Book 3.

My summary
This week's reading is pretty much all about skirmishes between the French and English in Scotland.

The chapter also closes with the death of the Queen Regent - discussion is given to whether she died a Catholic or Protestant.

What grabbed me
I liked the account of God himself fighting in favour of the Reformers: 'While the siege thus continued, a sudden fire chanced in Leith, which devoured many houses and much victual ; and so began God to fight for us, as the Lord Erskine in plain words said to the Queen Regent : Madam, seeing that men may not expel unjust possessors furth of this land, God Himself will do it; for yon fire is not kindled by man.' Which words offended the Queen not a little.'

God works in mysterious ways.

Next week's reading
