Patrick Hamilton was a minister of The Church of Scotland during a turbulent period in Scotland’s history. He seems to have chosen the wrong side in the dispute between King Charles I and the Scottish Covenanters. He was also a poet, writing in a straightforward English style, expressing his religious and political beliefs, and longing for a period of peace.
