Knox, John (1505–72). Leader of the
Reformation in Scotland. As preacher at St Andrews he was captured by the French, and whilst serving as a galley slave, used the time to produce an edn. of Henry Balnave's
Treatise on Justification by Faith. He refused the bishopric of Rochester, and on Mary's accession fled to the Continent where he met the Swiss
Reform leaders. His
First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women (1558) argued that female sovereignty contravened natural and divine law. In 1559 Knox returned to Scotland, devoting his time to preaching and writing. He drew up the
Scottish Confession, shared in the compilation of
The First Book of Discipline, and wrote his
Treatise on Predestination (1560). He also took a major part in the compilation of the
Book of Common Order (1556–64), the service book in use in Scotland until 1645. Knox's memoirs are preserved in his
History of the Reformation of Religion with the realm of Scotland, first published in 1587 and immediately suppressed.
