Session Book Of The Parish Of Penninghame: Accounts Of Suffering For Christ

The Still Waters Revival Books video book summary for "Accounts of Suffering for

Christ and His Covenanted Reformation -- Under Erastian Prelacy in Scotland -- Especially From 1679 to 1689" (1826) by Session Book of the Parish of Penninghame

Contains numerous accounts of suffering and martyrdom brought about by the Prelates and Royalists: who conspired together to destroy the people of God who refused to conform to Prelacy, adopt false worship or abjure the covenants.

Here is a sample of one historical account taken from this book:

"Upon the Eleventh day of May 1685, These two Women, Margaret M'Lachland, and Margaret Wilson, were brought forth to Execution. They did put the old Woman first into the water, and when the Water was overflowing her, they asked Margaret Wilson, what she thought of her in that case. She answered, 'What do I see but Christ wrestling there; think ye that we are the sufferers? No, it is Christ in us, for he sends none a warfare on their own charges.'

Margaret Wilson sang Psalm 25, from the 7th verse, Read, the 8th Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, and did pray, and then the water covered her. But before her breath was quite gone, they pulled her up and held her till she could speak, and then asked her if she would pray for the King; She answered, that she wished the salvation of all men, but the Damnation of none. Some of her relations being on the place, cried out she is willing to conform, being desirous to save her life at any rate. Upon which Major Winram offered the oath of abjuration to her, either to swear it or to return to the Water. She refused it, saying, 'I will not, I am one of Christ's children, let me go;' and then they returned her into the Water, where she finished her warfare, being a Virgin Martyr of Eighteen years of age, suffering death for her refusing to swear the oath of abjuration, and hear the Curates" (p. 11).

It is instructive to note, as Johnston points out ("Treasury of the Scottish Covenant," p. 123), that in the Oath of Abjuration "the (National--RB) Covenant, and Solemn League and Covenant were to be abjured as unlawful oaths."

Thus we see that these courageous woman died for Christ because they would not renounce His covenanted cause -- by renouncing His covenants -- or practice the sin of occasional hearing -- by hearing ministers that had renounced the covenanted testimony.

There are many such lessons in this book for our day.
