Did the very early Protestants in Scotland such as John Knox still practice confession and last rites?

John knox lived 1513 - 1572 and was originally a Roman Catholic priest. He had a rather chequered religious and political career. He was attracted to the religious teachings of Scottish reformer, George Wishart who was eventually executed for heresy. John Knox spent some time as a prisoner of the French who exiled him to England in 1549. Under the auspices of King Edward VI, he became involved with the Church of England and under Edward he became the Royal Chaplain and was also instrumental in reforming the Common Prayer Book. Knox was the founder of the Presbyterian Church circa 1550AD. Knox was a protestant, meaning that he protested against the corruption of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, it is most unlikely that he or his followers observed any practices of the Roman Catholic Church including confession and the Viaticum (more commonly known as the last rites).
