Note 35 — Chapter II · THE MOVEMENT OF REFORM BEGINS. (1522 to April 1527.)
William L. R. (William Leist Readwin) Cates translation
Certain articles preached by him (ibid.) It is clear that these articles were preached as early as 1527, before Hamilton had quitted Scotland. The sentence states: ‘Faithful inquisition being made in Lent last past.’ It is of Lent last past that it speaks. Now the sentence was of the last February. The Lent of 1528 was hardly begun. Besides, the sentence states that Hamilton, after having preached, passed forth of the realm to other parts; which decides the question.
