Perhaps he is right in saying that the French galleys only fired for two days and retreated, rather battered, to Dundee.

Land forces next attacked the hold, which surrendered on July 29 (as was known in London on August 5), that is, on the first day that the _land_ battery was erected.
Knox gives a much more full account of his own controversies, in April- June 1547, than of political events.

He first, on arrival at the castle, drew up a catechism for his pupils, and publicly catechised them on its tenets, in the parish kirk in South Street.

It is unfortunate that we do not possess this catechism.

At the time when he wrote, Knox was possibly more of "Martin's" mind, as he familiarly terms Luther, both as to the Sacrament and as to the Order of Bishops, than he was after his residence in Geneva.
