CLEMENT OF SCOTLAND BURNED BY THE ROMANISTS.

When Clement, having come from Scotland, had
joined the aforesaid Albert as a companion, and
united with him in regard to doctrine, he not only
began, but ceased not, even as the friend whom he
had found, to combat with the spiritual armor, and
222if possible, to overcome, in an evangelical manner,
the Pope and the Roman Church, in various points,
touching mostly her ceremonies. Thereupon he
was also accused, and put to death in such a manner
as in the proper place, we presently hope to
show.

The accusations brought against him were of the
same nature as those preferred against Albert, his
companion; which was not at all strange, since he
had placed himself under Albert, not only as a
friend and companion, but also as a disciple. For
this reason, the Pope, through the accusation of
Boniface, the papal Legate, pronounced the same
excommunication against him.

But when he presented himself for the purpose of
vindicating his conduct in a full synod, Boniface
prevented him from taking this course, making the
people believe that it were not lawful to admit a
heretic who had been excommunicated or excluded
from the church, to divine worship, or to a synodal
assembly; yea, that such an one should not be permitted
to have the benefit (in whatever this might
consist) of the laws or ordinances of the church.

Seeing that by this pretense his lips were sealed,
making it impossible for him to properly defend
himself, he had recourse to his pen and wrote a
book concerning this matter, against Boniface.

Finally, it is stated and maintained that this steadfast
witness of Jesus Christ, was burned as a heretic
by the Romanists, even against the will of Pope
Zacharias, about A. D. 750, or a little after.
