The Kirk-Treasurer's Creed.
I do believe 'tis in my pow'r,T'indulge and tolerate a whore,
For liberty of conscience sure,
The kirk-can gi'e:
And by my office I procure
That right to me.
Now, Meg, you see that I'm high priest,
And the Pope's power is a dull jest,
Whan sinners have my loof well criesht,
Wi' a good fee,
I'll let them sin, they make me feast,
And baith agree.
