Earlier this year, I began reading the book, Fox's Book of Martyrs Or a History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs. The text that follows shortly was taken directly from this text.
V. James the Less
Is supposed by some to have been the brother of our Lord, by a former wife of Joseph. This is very doubtful, and accords too much with the catholic superstition, that Mary never had any other children except our Saviour. He was elected to the oversight of the churches of Jerusalem; and was the author of the epistle ascribed to James in the sacred canon. At the age of ninety-four, he was beat and stoned by the Jews; and finally had his brains dashed out with a fuller's club.

Precious in the sight of the LORD
IS the death of his saints.
