Amongft thofe that were fet forth for
particular Nations, there was a Britijh Mar-
tyroiogy, publiflied about one hundred
and fitcyYears ago, by Mr. John JVilfon^
an Evgliflo Prieft, (who lived abroad in the
how Countrm ) under the Title of ^he £ng^
Ujh Martyrohge^ containing a Summary of the
Lives of the glorioM and renowned Saints of
the three Kingdoms^ England^ Scotland^ and
^
Ireland : which, if the JPerformance had
b^^en anfvverable to the Tide, might have
difpenfed with us from thinking of pub«
lifhing the following Sheets ^ fince the
. Work wJhich we promife would have been
already done to our Hands. But this Wri-
ter^ befides omitting the greater Part of the
Saints of the Scots Calendar (which he ne-

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
