Last words of James Renwick

James Renwick was known as the last of the martyred Covenanters of the late 17th century in Scotland. Renwick's final testimony was: "Farewell, beloved sufferers and followers of the Lamb; farewell, night wanderings, cold and weariness for Christ . . . Welcome scaffold for precious Christ; welcome heavenly Jerusalem; welcome O thou blessed Trinity and one God! O eternal One! I commit my soul into thy eternal rest."
