Clement of Scotland

Clement joined Albert of Gaul in opposing teachings and ceremonies they believed contrary to the gospel. Martyrs’ Mirror describes them as companions in doctrine and follows Clement’s attempt to answer the charges brought against him.

Its account tells of his exclusion from a synod and his death, which the heading assigns to 750. Several adjacent sections provide additional observations and a separate account of Clement. The original illustration is captioned with his name and belongs to this narrative.
