It has been even suspected that he wished to transfer to him the kingly power, but of this we have no proof. Still less that he 123 himself aspired to the sceptre of Scotland. It was as an apostle, or rather as a prophet, that Knox challenged homage. In his own conceptions he was alternately the Elijah rebuking Ahab — the Jeremiah denouncing Israel— the John the Baptist, who could overawe even the presumptuous Herod. Woe to the mto who incurred his. wrath, or fell under his chastisement ! Unhap...py they who became the object of his antipathy or suspicion ! In this predicament was Mary Stuart ! Whatever prejudice he had origi- naUy conceived against a daughter of Guise, was confirmed, and justified, by the admin- istration of her uncles. Educated under their auspices, imbued with their principles, he regarded her as infected with their cruelty and perfidy — as a Papist, incapable of any moral virtue — as an idolater worse than an infidel. If she would subdue his preju- dice, she must disclaim her superstitions, re- nounce the Mass, forsake the idol — on no other condition could he be persuaded that 1^^ she was entitled to esteem and confidence* It is notorious that Knox had hoped, through the agency of Murray, to impose those articles on Mary previous to her return to Scotland.
