Sixth installment in Forsyth resident's remarkable collection
bible
The Rev. John Martin reflects on the interesting history of this copies’ owner, Lord Patrick Hume (1641-1724). A key figure in history for defending the Scottish Protestants (Presbyterians), he was once a member of the Scottish Parliament and then imprisoned numerous times later to become a refugee with a bounty on his head. In 1702, Lord Hume became the Lord High Chancellor of Scotland (the date of this bookplate memorializes this with an engraving of his royal crest), as well as Earl of Marchmont, Viscount of Blasonberry and Lord Polwarth. - photo by Micah Green
FORSYTH COUNTY — A martyr is someone who is willing to — and does — die for a cause. This amazing book, the “1573 Workes of W. Tyndale, John Frith & Dr. Barnes,” is the sixth installment in the Forsyth County News series on resident Charles Payette’s Bible collection. It represents some of the most famous martyrs from the Protestant Reformation.
