[God send euerie Preist ane wyfe]
God send euerie Preist ane wyfe,
And euerie Nunne ane man,
That thay micht leue that haly lyfe,
As first the Kirk began.

Sanct Peter, quhome nane can reprufe,
His lyfe in Mariage led,
All gude Preistis quhome God did lufe,
Thair maryit wyfis had.
His lyfe in Mariage led,
All gude Preistis quhome God did lufe,
Thair maryit wyfis had.
Greit cause than, I grant had thay,
Fra wyfis to refraine:
Bot greiter causis haue thay may,
Now wyfis to wed againe.
Fra wyfis to refraine:
Bot greiter causis haue thay may,

For than suld nocht sa mony hure
Be vp and downe this land:
Nor ȝit sa mony beggeris pure,
In Kirk and mercat stand.
Be vp and downe this land:
Nor ȝit sa mony beggeris pure,

And nocht sa mekill bastard seid,
Throw out this cuntrie sawin,
Nor gude men, vncouth fry suld feid,
And all the suith war knawin.
Throw out this cuntrie sawin,
Nor gude men, vncouth fry suld feid,
And all the suith war knawin.

And Douctouris will admit,
That Preistis in that ȝock suld [illeg.],
Quha dar say contrair it.
