any friends have no diſcredit of me, nor Chriſtians no ſtumbling block, but rather an encouragement.
The Inſcription and Epitaph upon the Monument in the
Gray-Friar's Church yard at Edinburgh, called the
Martyr's Tomb.
Upon the head of the Tomb there’s the Effigies of an open Bible drawn with theſe ſcripture citations. Rev. vi. 9, 10, 11. 'And when he had opened the firſt ſeal, I ſaw under the altar the ſouls of them which were ſlain for the word of God, and for the teſti-mony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, ſaying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, doſt though not avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto e-very one of them, and it was ſaid unto them, that they ſhould reſt yet for a little ſeaſon, until their fellow-ſervants alſo, and their brethren, that ſhould be killed as they were, ſhould be fulfilled. Rev. vii. 24. Theſe are they which came out of great tri-bulation, and have waſhed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'
Follows the Verſe,
Halt Paſſenger, take heed what you do ſee,
This Tomb doth ſhew for what ſome Men did die,
Here lies interr’d the Duſt of thoſe who ſtood
Gainſt Perjury, reſiſting unto blood;
Adhering to the Covenants and Laws,
Eſtabliſhing the ſame; which was the cauſe
Their Lives were ſacrific’d unto the luſt
Of Prelatiſts abjur'd. Th' here their Duſt
Lies mixt with Murderers and other Crew,
Whom Juſtice juſtly did to death purſue,
