Overview

Sir John Knox (c.1608 – 3 November 1687) was an Irish merchant and civic official. Knox was the son of William Knox of Lifford and Fingwel Florence Campbell, daughter of Sir Dugald Campbell, 1st Baronet. He settled in Dublin in the 1650s, becoming a successful merchant. He was Sheriff of Dublin City in 1675 and was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1685. On 6 February 1585 he was knighted by Henry Hyde, 2nd Earl of Clarendon in his capacity as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. On 29 December 1685 Knox received a grant by Privy Seal giving him exclusive rights to produce copper coinage for the Kingdom of Ireland for a period of 21 years. Upon his death without an heir in 1687, the patent for coinage production passed to his brother-in-law, Colonel Roger Moore. References

Notable quotes

“As touching nature I am a worm of this earth, and yet a subject of this commonwealth; but as touching the office wherein it has pleased God to place me [head of the Reformed church in Scotland], I am a watchman...For that reason I am bound in conscience to blow the trumpet publicly.”
— As quoted in World Studies for Christian Schools (2000) by Terri Koontz, Mark Sidwell & S. M. Bunker,
“Madam, in God's presence I speak: I never delighted in the weeping of any of God's creatures; yea I can scarcely well abide the tears of my own boys whom my own hand corrects, much less can I rejoice in your Majesty's weeping.”
— As quoted in The Thundering Scot (1957) by Geddes MacGregor
“But hereof be assured, that all is not lawful nor just that is statute by civil laws; neither yet is everything sin before God, which ungodly persons allege to be treason.”
— John Knox pastoral, as quoted in The Breakers of the Yoke: Sketches and Studies of the Men ... by J. S. MacIntosh, p. 303
“The Mass is Idolatry. All worshipping, honouring, or service invented by the brain of man in the religion of God, without his own express commandment, is idolatry. The Mass is invented by the brain of man, without any commandment of God; therefore it is idolatry.”
— John Knox, A Vindication of the Doctrine that the Sacrifice of the Mass is Idolatry, 1550; as quoted in Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year 1559
“To promote a woman to beare rule, superioritie, dominion or empire above any realme, nation, or citie, is repugnant to nature, contumelie to God, a thing most contrarious to his reveled will and approved ordinance, and finalie it is the subversion of good order, of all equitie and justice.”
— The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous regiment of women 1558 reprint New York: Da Capo Press, 1972, p.9 as quoted in "Gender Difference and Tudor Monarchy: The Significance of Queen Mary I", Judith Richards
