“ So in our day, some have not been wanting, who through greatest hazards have added their Testimonies to these who have gone before them, by suffering death, banishment, torturings, forfaultries, Imprisonments, & what not, from a perfidious & cruel Adversary to the Church & Kingdome of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Land. ”

“ Likewise The Act for appointing an holy Anniversary day, to be kept every 29th of May, for giving thanks for the setting up an usurped power, destroying the Interest of Christ in the Land: whereby the Creature is set up to be worshipped in the room of our great Redeemer, And a power is assumed which is proper to the Lord only ”

“ And for Confirmation of this our Testimony, We do here this day, being the 29 of May 1679. publickly & most justly burn the foresaid Acts, at this Cross of Rutherglen, being the Chief Burgh of the Nether ward of Clidsdale; As they perfidiously & blasphemously have burnt our holy Covenants, through several Cities of these Covenanted Kingdoms. We hope none will take exceptions at our not subscribing this our Testimony, being so solemnly given: for we are ready to do it if necessary, And to enlarge it with all our faithful suffering brethren in the Land. ”
