Excerpt from The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings, Vol. 26: For Members of the English Church, July December, 1878Mary made answer that all they could lawfully desire should be granted them in a proper season, and for the present they might use their prayers in the vulgar tongue, but she desired that they should not assemble publicly except in Edinburgh or Leith for preventing tumults.' The Queen Dowager was much respected, and the congregation was satisfied, and the preachings went on and in¿amed the people. The images of the Saints were either knocked down or stolen in many places, and on the let of September, 1558, S. Giles' Day, the Patron Saint of Edinburgh, when the Queen Regent herself was about to take part in the procession in his honour, the image was missing. It proved that a party of revellers had stolen it, carried it in a mock procession, and thrown it into the North Loch. The Queen sent to borrow another Effigy from the Grey Friars, and hoping to restrain mischief, held to her purpose, and walked in procession with the clergy and the devout of her own Church.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
