 On 1 January 1559 the anonymous "Beggars' Summons" was posted on the doors of friaries, threatening friars with eviction on the grounds that their property belonged to the genuine poor.This was calculated to appeal to the passions of the populace of towns who appeared to have particular complaints against friars.Knox returned to Scotland and preached at the church of St. John the Baptist's at Perth on 11 May on Christ cleansing the temple.
