	Ninian Winzet - LoveToKnow 1911
		WINZET, NINIAN (1518-1592), Scottish polemical writer, was born in Renfrew, and was probably educated at the university of Glasgow.
		When further suspicion fell on Leslie and he was committed to the Tower, Winzet was permitted to return to Paris.
		Winzet's vernacular writings have been edited by J. Hewison for the S.T.S. (2 vols., 1888, 1890).

	Ninian Winzet
		When John Knox's "rascal multitude" was devastating the churches of Scotland in 1559, Winzet is said by Bishop Leslie to have publicly disputed with Knox at Linlithgow.
		Winzet, who seems for a time to have been Mary's confessor, was just bringing out his "Last Blast of the Trompet of Godis Worde", when it was stopped by the civil authority, and the author fled from Scotland, reaching Louvain in Sept., 1562.
		From 1565 to 1570 Winzet resided in Paris, prosecuting his studies at the university and apparently doing tutorial work also, as well as acting for a time as proctor for the "natio Anglicana seu Germanica".

		A larger amount of work was produced by Ninian Winzet, another Catholic controversialist, who, in his Certain Tractatis for Reformation of Doctryne and Manneris (1562), frankly admitted the corruptions of the Catholic church in Scotland, but contended that they afforded no rational ground for changing the national religion.
		It is noteworthy in Winzet and other Roman Catholic writers of the time that they claimed to be the upholders of the national tradition not only in religion but in policy.
		In a well known sentence, Winzet caustically upbraids Knox (who, in point of fact, wrote for England as well as for Scotland) for his use of English modes of expression.

		Ninian died probably in 432; and current ecclesiastical tradition points to St. Palladius as having been his successor in the work of evangelizing Scotland.
		Pope Leo XIII cited this tradition in his Bull restoring the Scottish hierarchy in 1878; but there are many anachronisms and other difficulties in the long-accepted story of St. Palladius and his immediate followers, and it is even uncertain whether he ever set foot in Scotland at all.
		Some champions of the Faith there still were, notably Ninian Winzet and Quintin Kennedy, ready to risk life and liberty in the public defence of their faith; and Mary herself did all in her power to cultivate relations with the Holy See.

	The Scots in Germany - The Church
		To all these efforts must be added Winzet’s unwearied exertions on behalf of those religious houses in Germany, which had formerly belonged to Scotland.
		Winzet’s successor was Joannes VII, whose family name was White or Wight.
		In 1514 the altar dedicated to St Ninian and given and endowed by two citizens of Erfurt, Scotsmen by birth, named Balthasar Barding (?) and Jacob Flamingk (Fleming), was erected.

		From a fragment of a single leaf, discovered by the late David Laing, it seems probable that an edition of Gawin Douglas’s Palice of Honour was also printed by Davidson.
		John Scot, who printed at St. Andrews and afterwards at Edinburgh between 1552 and 1571, issued works by Sir David Lyndsay, Quintin Kennedy and Ninian Winzet.
		The earliest Scottish printer whose extant issues reach any considerable number is Robert Lekpreuik, who began printing in 1561; he is to be especially remembered for the numerous ballads by Robert Sempill and other reformation politicians, which in his broadsides have survived to the present day.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Knox
		He continued his tirades against the queen both privately and from the pulit, sometimes reducing her to tears by his violence.
		In the spring of 1562 he held a public controversy on the doctrine of the Mass with Abbot Quintin Kennedy, a Benedictine of Crossraguel; and he also had a controversial correspondence with an able Catholic apologist, Ninian Winzet of Linlithgow.
		Some months later Knox found himself in trouble for having summoned the "brethren" from all parts of Scotland to Edinburgh to defend -- apparently by violence, if necessary -- one Cranstoun, who was to be tried for brawling in the chapel-royal.

		The pulpit may be said to have discharged the functions of the press (a press which was all on one side).
		When, in 1562, Ninian Winzet, a Catholic priest and ex-schoolmaster, was printing a controversial tractate addressed to Knox, the magistrates seized the manuscript at the printer’s house, and the author was fortunate in making his escape.
		The nature of the Confession of Faith, and of the claims of the ministers to interfere in secular affairs, with divine authority, was certain to cause war between the Crown and the Kirk.

	Historical perspective for Linlithgow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		An ancient chapel, dedicated to St Ninian, stood in the western part of the town, and on the S side, on the eminence still called Friars' Brae, was a Carmelite Friary, erected in 1290, and the third of this order in Scotland.
		Though it was in existence at the Reformation, no part now remains, but a well not far off is known as the Friars' Well- To the E was a Dominican Friary, some traces of which existed down to 1843, or later.
		Ninian Winzet, who wrote controversial tracts against John Knox, and who ultimately became Abbot of the Scots College at Ratisbon, was rector from 1551 to 1561.

	Linlithgow Academy - A Brief History of Linlithgow Academy
		This 12th century establishment was a "Sang Schule" in the Kirkgate which trained choristers for services in St Michael's Church.
		By the 16th century however some teachers such as Ninian Winzet, Robert Aitkenhead and Robert Nairn, were increasingly expressing their views that the school should, "teach and exhort the youth of the town in grammar, in the normal authors, and in good and civil manners".
		By 1647 the Rector of Linlithgow Grammar School, as it was now called, was earning 100 pounds (Scots) a year and had an assistant called the "doctor" to assist him.

	Christopher Ryan Fields - UF Journal of Undergraduate Research Scholar Profile
		My project questions this assumption by exploring the contributions of individuals who have long been overshadowed by Knox, especially the Catholic priest Ninian Winzet.
		My thesis is that the church was not as weak and corrupt as Donaldson and others have maintained and the origin and nature of the Reformation in Scotland is much more complex than has been argued.
		In particular, I hope to show that Winzet’s more moderate, humanist program of reform demonstrates the variability of opinions regarding both the state of the pre-1560 church and the proper path to reformation.

	cappella nova - Discography - Sacred Music for Mary Queen of Scots
		It was perhaps Mary's tragedy that she returned to Scotland from France at the time of the Reformation, and that the fanatic John Knox should be the uncompromising leader of the new religion.
		She did, however, still have many loyal supporters, not least among them the outspoken Catholic apologist Ninian Winzet.
		Mary's arrival at Leith on Tuesday 19 August 1561 was earlier than expected and accompanied by a thick fog, a fact that subsequently did not go unnoticed.

		Although Mary had given him permission to publish this work in July 1562, the printer was imprisoned.
		Winzet then escaped to Antwerp and died in 1577 after having been made Abbot of the Benedictine monastery at Ratisbon.
		Music was taught throughout Scotland before the Reformation and even in 1561, when Mary returned to Scotland, she was serenaded by the people of Edinburgh.

		After the sudden Scottish Reformation of 1560, when Catholic worship was banned by Act of Parliament, a priest-schoolmaster of Linlithgow called Ninian Winzet wrote pamphlets in defence of the old faith.
		During the long imprisonment which ended with her execution at Fotheringay, Mary got the idea of training Scots priests abroad to reconvert their native land.
		Ninian Winzet was to be a key figure as abbot at Ratisbon.

		In 1558, Kennedy sent Davidson a polemical treatise defending the Catholic Church, to be presented to the Archbishop Beaton of Glasgow.
		Davidson wrote a reply, in 1563, from the reformers side, which was in turn severely attacked by Ninian Winzet, another defender of the old faith, in a dedication to Queen Mary.
		Davidson's time as Principal was overshadowed by the turbulent events taking place not only in Scotland, but also around Europe.

	Sir,
		Wilson doubts that Winzet could speak the truth because he was a Roman Catholic.
		Yet Watt says of him, "It is evident that very little would have made Ninian Winzet one of our leading Reformers," and points out that Winzet said nothing to support Rome but his words were soundly applicable to Knox’s ceremonies.
		One would think truth is truth from whatever mouth it comes.

	The Reformation in Scotland
		There is no doubt that the bishops were surrounded by powerful and watchful enemies, but it seems strange that they should have effaced themselves so completely, at a time when Knox and his opponents by means of general assemblies and other such bodies were impressing the country with their strength and activity.
		Even though the bishops were silent the old religion was not without some able and energetic defenders in the person of Leslie, soon to be the Bishop of Ross, Quintin Kennedy whose services have been referred to already, and Ninian Winzet, who caused Knox considerable embarrassment by his tracts, letters, and public disputations.
		In his report Father de Gouda alluded to the imminent peril in which the queen stood owing to her complete reliance on her unworthy ministers.

		In the then anarchic state of Scotland, organisation and unity under a common head may have been more important than the assertion of popular rights.

		212, 213.) Winzet's drift was to prove, that Knox had no lawful call to the ministry; consequently, he would never have mentioned his popish ordination, if the fact had not been notorious and undeniable.
		Nichol Burne, arguing on the same point, allows that he had received the order of priesthood from the Romish church.

		In the Aberdeen Kirk-session Register, under March 1606, we have two men brought up for ‘abusing themselves last week by extraordinar drinking of aqua-vitie.’
		The Protestant Church took the observance of Sunday as a Sabbath from the ancient church; and the Presbyterians of Scotland adopted it fully, while rejecting all the other festivals—a fact with which Ninian Winzet did not fail to taunt them as an inconsistency in his Tractates, published immediately after the Reformation.
