Later Life
Abercromby remained in Scotland for some time, but a price of 10,000 crowns was put upon his head. He spent the period 1601 to 1606 under the protection of George Gordon, 1st Marquess of Huntly.
Abercromby went back to Bransberg in 1606. His name was connected to the allegiance oath controversy when a pamphlet "pasquil" Exetasis epistolæ nomine regis under the pseudonym Bartholus Pacenius against James I was traced to Braunsberg; but the investigation by Patrick Gordon was inconclusive. He died there on 27 April 1613.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“‘Pure experience’ is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.”
—William James (1842–1910)
