Some remarkable passages of the life and death of these three famous worthies, signal for piety and zeal, whom the Lord helped and honour'd to be faithful unto the death, viz. Mr. John Semple, Mr. John Welwood, Mr. Richard Cameron, Ministers of the Gospel, according as they were taken off the stage; who were all shining lights in this land, and gave light to many, in which they rejoiced for a season. : Together with a vindication of Mr. Cameron's name, and other worthy ministers, martyrs and sufferers, from the many malicious fool nick-names and reproaches cast upon them: with remarks upon twenty eight gross misrepresentations and groundless and scandalous reflections in Mr. Wodrow's History, and answers thereto. Shewing also the non-such danger the sworn to and seal'd testimony of this church is in at present, by left-hand defections and right-hand extremes, of being blotted, darkned. [sic] and buried in contempt, by all divided parties whatsomever; so that few of the young, far less afterwards, if these melancholly days be lengthened out, will have an uptaking, or read what their renowned fathers contended so earnestly for, through all the periods of this church..
