E of
the moft interfiling Parts of

ufually the ruoft Influence both on the

that which fets bffore their Eyes the Won-

his Saints, The facred Penmen, infpired
by the Holy Spirit^ fct the firft Example
of this Kind of Writings : and many of
the holy Fathers, and other learned and
gpdly Men in all Agps, have copied after
them, by publifhing the A6ts of the Mar-
tyrs, and of other more eminent Saints of
God, whom the divine Grace has lighted

Amongft thofe that were fet forth for
particular Nations, there was a Britijh Mar-
tyroiogy, publiflied about one hundred

an Evgliflo Prieft, (who lived abroad in the

Lives of the glorioM and renowned Saints of
the three Kingdoms^ England^ Scotland^ and

already done to our Hands. But this Wri-

Saints of the Scots Calendar (which he ne-

Wherefore we tboisgbt k would not be

ipectdiiy to as many of thetn^ as are Lovers

giving a fhort Account of their Virtues

(where their Aifts were known) and leaving

oiut all that was apocryphal in their Hi^i^o-
ry ; which is what we have endeavoured
to aim at in the following Mbmorjial s
concerning which it may be proper to ac-
quaint ouc Readers, i^. That we have not'
here given the Title of Saints to any but
fuch as we found in pojfiieiIiQ£k of it, eithw.

of our Churches and Pariflies^ or other
ancient Monuments, teltifying the religi-
ous Veneration fi^mecly paid them by our

be pkafed to declare them Sakits, but
merely as Hiftorians, to record their Names
with Ibmething of their Virtues^ as In->
fiances of ancient Brilijb Piety, 3dly.
That with sqgard to many of our Saim^
we have been able to give no more than
their bare Names y becaufe their Ads^ if
ever written, are long Unce loft : and as to
others, we have fometimes been forced to
join Numbers together in one Commemo-
ration ; becaufe their very Names are ac
prefent unknown. 4thly. That as to the
appointing our Britijh Saints their refpec-
tive Days thrcmghout the Year^ where our
Calendax9^ or cdxer MonoinentSt gave us
Light, wc have generally endeavoured to
follow it : :bot where we could not find
the Days, on which they were formerly
honoured, we have oimmemdrated them
on foch other D^ays, as otherwife might
have been vacant : and thus we have not
let fo much as one Day in the Year pafs
without commemorating one or more
Saints, or other Servants of God, illuftri-
ous for Chriftian Piety. Laftly, That as
