He had already been summoned to answer to a charge of heresy laid * The Poetical Works of Sir Da\icl Lindsay of the Mount, by George Chalmers. Lond. 1806. SIR JAMES HAMILTO^^ OF KINCATEL. 207 against him by Patrick Hepburn, now Bishop of Murray ; and the issue of the process declared that his prayer had... not been in vain. He appeared before the tribunal at Holyrood in 1534. Great efforts were made by the judges, including the king himself, to induce him to recant.
