Text: Daniel 2:17-23
On November 18, 1559, the Protestant movement in Scotland had reached its lowest point. Queen Elizabeth of England was the head of the English church and required that all ministers be under her authority as head of the church including those in Scotland. It meant that they had to follow the worship order of the English church. Protestant reformer John Knox wrote two letters, one to the secretary of Queen Elizabeth and the other to Mrs. Anna Lock who lived in London.
In the letter to the Queen's secretary, he wrote about the sorry state of affairs and pointed out that to human eyes it appeared that the Protestant movement was finished. But to Mrs. Lock he wrote the following, "Least the rumors of our troubles trouble you dear sister, I thought it good to tell you, that our hope is yet in God, that he, for his great name's sake, will give us success to this enterprise and will not let them triumph over us."
Background :12-16

Mercy - Aramaic compassion (only here).
