Wha dar subscryve thir treasonable arti- cles?" "We dar, " answered Mr. Andro, "and will subscryve tham, and gif our lyves in the cause. " His flashing glance swept in the King andhis whole haughty company as he seized the pen from the clerk, wrote his own name, and called for the others to do the same.
"And that day, "says James Melville, "the King and courtiers saw that the Kirk haid a bak!" Lay the scene, next, in Edinburgh if you will, and the tale is much the same.
Andrew Melville was this... time accused of having uttered treasonable language in the pulpit. But this Scot, of the fiery spirit and ample brain, had not studi- ed jurisprudence at Poitiers in vain. So he told the King and Council plainly that they had no business to accuse him in a civil court, of a fault with which only the ecclesiastical courts had a right to deal.
At this speech King and nobles roared out like lions in rage, and there and then threatened Melville with death for his daring to challenge their rights. And at that moment everyone in the room looked on Andrew Melville as a dead man.
