Educated at See also:Edinburgh University, he joined the See also:section of the See also:Covenanters known as the See also:Cameronians about 1681 and soon became prominent among them. Afterwards he studied See also:theology at the university of See also:Groningen and was ordained a See also:minister in 1683.

field-preachers and was declared a See also:rebel by the privy See also:council. He was largely responsible for the " apologetical See also:declaration " of 1684 by which he and his followers disowned the authority of See also:Charles II.; the privy council replied by ordering every one to abjure this declaration on See also:pain of See also:death. Unlike some of his associates, Renwick refused to join the rising under the See also:earl of See also:Argyll in 1685; in 1687, when the declarations of See also:indulgence allowed some See also:liberty of See also:worship to the Presbyterians, he and his followers, often called Renwickites, continued to hold meetings in the See also:fields, which were still illegal. A See also:reward was offered for his See also:capture, and See also:early in 1688 he was seized in Edinburgh. Tried and found guilty of disowning the royal authority and other offences, he refused to apply for a See also:pardon and was hanged on the 17th of February 1688. Renwick was the last of the convenanting martyrs.
