George Wishart - Last Sermon (1546)

As the governor and cardinal were now in Edinburgh, only a few miles away, Wishart was, for greater safety, conducted to the mansion of Longniddry. There he had an opportunity of spending time with John Knox, who, deeply interested in his missionary labours, became his body-guard armed with a two-handed sword. On January 14th 1546 they went to Haddington where he preached twice, but the second time to a small congregation because the Earl of Bothwell had told people not to attend.
