On May 11th 1685 Margaret Lachlane, or McLachlan, and Margaret Wilson were put to death.

The sins of our past are sair tae bare at times and this is certainly one that qualifies as such, what makes it all the more sad is that they had been reprieved, but the distance from Edinburgh to Wigtown but for reasons unknown it never made it to save the women.

Here’s the background, some of you might know but not all, back in 17th century religion was very important to most people in Scotland, indeed the worldover. The reformation waa over and Protestants were in the vast majority, especially in the more populace lowlands. By now The Stuart Monarchy ruled both Scotland and England, having survived a civil war in which Charles I lost his head, eventually his son, Charle II was invited back to take the throne. You would have thought that Charles II had learned his lesson, his old boy had tried to enforce the English form of the Protestant religion in Scotland but failed, young Charles tried again but the Scots were not having it, many Scots signed what is known as The National Covenant that pledged to defend “their” true religion against innovations like those down south. Many were put to death for refusing to swear allegiance to the King and “his” prayer book. Over the years there were many battles and lives lost, it is now known in Scotland as “The Killing Time"

ny way the people thought it might come to an end in February 1658 when Charles II died, those who had been hiding from persecution started returning to their homes, including the young Wilson girls who were sheltered at the home of Margaret McLachlan, a 63 year old widow who lived at Drumjargan in Kirkinner Parish. A local man betrayed them when they came into Wigtown, and the two girls were taken prisoner. At the same time, Margaret McLachlan was seized while at prayer in her own home, and held in custody with them. The women were required to take the Oath of Abjuration which had earlier been administered to everyone in the County over the age of 13 years. This had been introduced on 25 November 1684 by the Privy Council, in order to catch sympathisers of Richard Cameron. In a public declaration at Sanquhar Cross, Cameron had denounced the King as a tyrant and declared war on him.

Refusal to swear the Oath allowed execution without trial; men could be hanged or shot; a new sentence had been introduced for women: death by drowning. The women refused the Oath and were brought before the Commission. The Commissioners, Grierson of Lagg, Sheriff David Graham (Claverhouse’s brother), Major Windram, Captain Strachan and Provost Coltrane of Wigtown, have been described as “five of the most vicious scoundrels in Scotland”.

Margaret McLachlan with Margaret and Agnes Wilson were found guilty on all charges and they were sentenced “to be tyed to palisadoes and fixed in the sand, within the flood mark, at the mouth of the Blednoch stream, and there to stand till the flood over flowed them, and [they] drowned”. Agnes Wilson (aged only thirteen at the time) was reprieved, when her father promised to pay a bond of £100, a fortune in that day.

A pardon was issued in Edinburgh, dated 30 April 1685, for both women

It remains a mystery what happened to it, since no record of it remains beyond the Council Chamber. They were taken out and tied to stakes in the waters of the Bladnoch on 11 May 1685. The older woman was tied deeper in the river channel forcing young Margaret to witness her death, in the hope that she would relent. Instead, she seemed to take strength from the older woman’s fate, singing a psalm, and quoting scripture.

The events are recorded in the Kirk Session records of both Penninghame and Kirkinner parishes, vouched for by elders and ministers who were present on the day, and the records confirmed by the Presbytery of Wigtown. The Penninghame records say that Margaret Wilson’s head was held up from the water, in order to ask her if she would pray for the King. She answered that she wished the salvation of all men, but the damnation of none. When her watching relatives cried out that this proved she was willing to conform, Major Windram offered her the Oath of Abjuration again, but she refused, saying “I am one of Christ’s children; let me go”.

The Kirkinner records state that Margaret McLachan’s head had been “held down within the water by one of the town officers by his halberd at her throat, til she died”. A popular account adds that the officer said “then tak’ another drink o’t my hearty”. Legend has it that for the rest of his life the man had an unquenchable thirst, and had to stop and drink from every ditch, stream, or tap he passed, and he was deserted by his friends.

Likewise the constable named Bell, who had carried out his duties with a notable lack of feeling, allegedly said, when asked how the women had behaved, “O, they just clepped roun the stobs, like partans and prayed”. Clepped means web-footed, partans are crabs. Bell’s wife bore three children all with “clepped” fingers, and the family was referred to as “the Cleppie Bells” which was believed to be the sins of the father being visited on the children.

It was not only women who died, William Johnstone, John Milroy and George Walker were hanged in Wigtown the same year, for refusal to take the oath, but Margaret Wilson, due to her young age has become the most famous of the martyrs and is the subject of a famous painting by the English artist John Everett Millais called The Martyr of Solway.

Art conservators have x-rayed the painting and found out that Millais had originally painted the upper torso of the young woman naked. However when the painting was exhibited in 1871 there were strong puritanical views on nudity in paintings and Millais’ work offended Victorian sensibilities. It was badly received and was the butt of many negatively critical reviews. Hence it was painted over to save the Victorian eyes of such a sight!

The photo is from Stirling Old Town Cemetery a monument to the Wigtown Martyrs, further afield a Victorian statue of Margaret Wilson’s martyrdom is on display at Knox College, University of Toronto, Canada, as seen in the second pic, the third pic is the Martyrs' Grave, Wigtown parish church, Dumfries and Galloway.

Tagging Logic

A list of the specific tags will be posted once I get some more posts in, but here's the general tagging logic of the posts:

#gen - for general, non ship art

#ship - for shipping/romantic art

#name1name2 - shipping/romantic art involving the characters. The names are listed alphabetically, so for Stede and Ed if would be: EdStede. If the artwork depicts a romantic relationship between Ed, Stede, and Izzy, it would be: EdIzzyStede, etc.

#crew - art depicting multiple crew members with no greater focus on any of them. So let's say we have an artwork that depicts Lucius and Pete as the primary focus but Frenchie, Archie, and Izzy also appear, without playing a larger role. The art would be tagged #LuciusPete, #crew

#name - a tag for the character. All characters are tagged with their first name, e.g. #zheng #frenchie #stede. Some of the characters don't have official last names, which might be too inconsistent if I chose to include them. The only name that duplicates is Mary Bonnet and Mary Read - they'll be tagged #maryb and #maryr respectfully.

#comic - tags for a comic: pretty self-explanatory.

#artdump - so called "sketch dumps" are canvases that have multiple small pieces on them as opposed to full-frame pieces.

#fullframe - pieces of art that are lone-standing, unlike artdumps which are collections of smaller drawings

#colour - art that's filled in, either full colour or monochrome. That includes black and white too! It might sound silly, but I just want to mark art that's "filled in" and not sketched or a lineart. Black and white are colours too, technically.

#nocolour - sketch or lineart.

#user:name - art posted by user

If you have any suggestions regarding tagging logic or any new tags that should be created, please let me know :)

5december 21_ december 9

HOLY 362 MARYRS of AFRICA EXTERMINATED BY THE ARIAN (5th c.)

These faithful servants of Christ suffered martyrdom during the reign of Emperor Zeno (474-491). Guneric, the ruler of the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa, began a savage persecution of the Orthodox, at the instigation of the Arian bishops Cyril and Balinardēs.

The faithful had gathered secretly in one of the churches for the Divine Liturgy, when suddenly barbarian soldiers burst into the church. Some of the worshippers fled, but 300 remained voluntarily, and so they were tortured and beheaded. Of the 62 clergy, two were burnt alive, and sixty had their tongues cut out. By the miraculous power of God, they continued to preach and to refute the Arian heresy. Among them were old men, young men, and heads of families, but all of them remained faithful to Christ and His Holy Church. They were beheaded in the year 477.

In Slavic usage, these holy martyrs are commemorated on December 8; while in Greek usage, they are commemorated on December 7.

LUKE 21:5-7, 10-11, 20-24 

5 Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6These things which you see-the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down. 7 So they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?" 10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Commentary of the Church Fathers

 Augustine of Hippo AD 430 :The signs given in the Gospel and in prophecy and fulfilled in us show the coming of the Lord…. We know that the coming is near by the fact that we see the fulfillment of certain signs of that coming that have been accomplished…. The signs that Christ told them to look for are listed in the Gospel of Saint Luke: “Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the nations are fulfilled.” This has happened and no one doubts that it has happened…. It is plain that there is no country or place in our time that is not harassed or humbled according to the words “for fear and expectation of what will come on the whole world.” All the signs that the gospel describes in the earlier verses have mostly been accomplished.

Ambrose of Milan AD 397: This is a true sequence of prophecy and a fresh cause of mystery, because the Jews will be led captive a second time to Babylon and Assyria. Those throughout the world who have denied Christ will be captive. A hostile army will trample visible Jerusalem as the sword kills Jews. All Judea will be put to the spiritual sword, the twoedged sword, by the nations that will believe. There will be different signs in the sun, moon and the stars. … When very many fall away from religion, a cloud of unbelief will darken bright faith, because for me that heavenly Sun is either diminished or increased by my faith. If very many gaze on the rays of the worldly sun, the sun seems bright or pale in proportion to the capacity of the viewer, so the spiritual light is imparted to each according to the devotion of the believer. In its monthly courses, the moon, opposite the earth, wanes when it is in the sun’s quarter. When the vices of the flesh obstruct the heavenly Light, the holy church also cannot borrow the brightness of the divine Light from the rays of Christ. In the persecutions, love of this life alone certainly very often shuts out the light of God. –.

2 TIMOTHY 4:9-22

9 Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for ThessalonIca-Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come-and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. 16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! 19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick. 21Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren. 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

[ahundredtimesover]

I will try again 😭 this evil site cockblocking me from sending me asks😭

.................................................................................................

Excuse me.. You put breast play as font size 16 and angst and crying as font size 6 and then you expect us to be okay with it???? MIMI THIS IS A SLOWBURN HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN??? YOU CANT JUST EAT YOUR WORDS LIKE TUMBLR ATR MY ASK AND LMAO AT SEEING US GO BANANAS 😭

Can I just start with the great because that's what you did... Loaded us up on sugar and spice and all things nice before DROPPING THAT ON US🗡️🗡️🗡️

HELLO THIS IS ALL OF US 😂😂😂😂😂😂 BOY REALLY STARTED EXPOSING SHIT AND HONESTLY NOT ALLOWED..PLEASE HAVE HIM TRIPLE WRAPPED AT ALL TIMES NOT EVEN A SLIVER OF SKIN IS ALLOWED TO BE ON DISPLAY 😭 have you seen today's memories of 21 clip where he's buttoning up his shirt😭 that's just hurtful how can someone be so delectable (me sobbing as I see hazy abs in 144p)

THIS WAS SO FEMDOM I AM STRUGGLING TO COME UP FOR AIR I AM DROWNING THIS WAS HOT. a little come hither motion would have just completed this scene for me.. I like how he's a CEO but he's so babie????????? Like excuse me???? Lowkey glad he ain't a brat tamer yet because CANNOT SURVIVE WILL NOT TALK TO YOU IF THAT HAPPENS (PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN)

STFU MIMI I WRITE SLOWBURN SO PERISH WHAT THE FUCK MIMI DO YOU AND JIN NOT HAVE REGARDS FOR MY SANITY MY WELLBEING MY MENTAL HEALTH MY CROPS WHICH I WILL WATER WITH MY TEARS?????

I'm sorry this. I lost my shit at this scene nahhh man nahhhh not the stroking of Jinzilla nahhhh this was a fever dream it didn't happen this was single handedly the hottest thing ever I am destroyed. Mimi this scene railed me publicly I am that destroyed.

I would too word vomit if I had a dick that glorious in me.

Now I'm not including the ss from thr angst session because I personally feel she over reacted. That was my first thought like girl are you mad??? It is not a big deal and then i read the last line.. OUR MISSUS IS IN LOVE TOO AND SHE IS NOT LABELLING HER EMOTIONS BCZ WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE HEAT OF HORMONAL SAMBA AND GETS RUINED LIKE GIRL??? I get you.. That was not over reaction that was utter betrayal because husband may be stringing both you and girl toy around for all you know and it's so dangerous to know that this man has all the resources ( he's fucking fictitious but people like these exist) and he could well be spending time apart and not be in Japan Esp when he comes home right after you say you miss him like he could be next door for you all you know but there comes the knowledge that did she not read him at all? Did she really think he would be capable of betraying her and lying to her?

Lying is something unforgivable and JIN has been doing this for a while with the family and Seri so yes it's understandable from that perspective but i wish she would hear him out..

This scene is the exact parallel from PLM when he accuses her for having sex with him to get pregnant and maryr him to trap him.. This is like an equivalent to that scene.

Honestly.. Chapter 8 was literally a whole roller coaster.. Like how day changes into night. It changed that fast. From making out and thriving living smiling being hydrated and staying in each other's laps to yelling a broken I love you and insinuating god knows what...

I'm not excited for chapter 9 bcz I think you planned more cry fest and people hating jin from OCs side... And i can't deal with anyone hating Jin.. He's my idiot.. Yoongi will also hate him that's a... That's a serious offence 😭

Prayers for this ask to be delivered.

Responding to this before chapter 9 drops and doing an evil laugh at your worries hihi BUT OK MAAM thank you for making me laugh 🤣🤣 srsly this whole ask is my favorite thing bc yes, Jin exposing his body has been such an inspiration (dude that clip of his shoulders pls let us all suffer) so that smut scene where he’s both a babie and a king knowing he looks hot, yes pls 🥵

And yes, the PLM scene! I think with arranged marriages (with how I write them), there’s still that sliver of distrust that comes out when things get hard. The accusations hurt, yes, but sometimes, in the heat of the moment, people assume and say things that they regret. Looking forward to what you’ll think of the aftermath of the argument! And again, thank you for always dropping by 🥰🥰
