MARGARET WILSON.

See Lord Macaulay’s History of England, vol. i., page 501. Margaret Wilson’s epitaph, from Wodrow, in the Churchyard of Wigton, is as follows:

Murdered for owning Christ supreme
Head of his Church, and no more crime
But her not owning Prelacy,
And not abjuring Presbytery;
Within the sea, tied to a stake,
She suffered for Christ Jesu’s sake.
