Hesitating to offer public thanksgiving for His Majesty's deliverance from the Gowrie Conspiracy, he was inhibited from preaching under pain of death, and two days after he left the city.

By the continuance of the Royal displeasure, he was ordered to be transported, 16th May 1601, yet he continued in his charge. He was summoned to London (with seven others) 21st May 1606. After various ineffectual conferences they were handed over to the charge of different bishops of England, Balfour being consigned to the care of John, Bishop of Norwich. On 8th March 1607 he petitioned the Privy Council to be sent home, when he was ordered to be confined to Cockburnspath and Alford. He returned and was preaching in the city, when he was again removed by a royal warrant, 20th Jan. 1610, but the city continued payment of his stipend until 1st May 1613, when he died. He marr.
