John Knox and the Reformation

CHAPTER VIII: KNOX'S WRITINGS FROM ABROAD: BEGINNING OF THE SCOTTISH
1/48


REVOLUTION, 1556-1558 Knox was about this time summoned to be one of the preachers to the English at Geneva.

He sent in advance Mrs.Bowes and his wife, visited Argyll and Glenorchy (now Breadalbane), wrote (July 7) an epistle bidding the brethren be diligent in reading and discussing the Bible, and went abroad.

His effigy was presently burned by the clergy, as he had not appeared in answer to a second summons, and he was outlawed in absence.
It is not apparent that Knox took any part in the English translation of the Bible, then being executed at Geneva.

Greek and Hebrew were not his forte, though he had now some knowledge of both tongues, but he preached to the men who did the work.

The perfections of Genevan Church discipline delighted him.
