Lyke as the man that finds his lyfe aggre
To Gods command and wourd of verite,
And hes ane feruent mynd to perseueir
Under the reull of God[i]s wourd sinceir,
Syne dois continew as Gods word dois direc him,
That man may knaw that God hes done elec him;
And with the wekit, thocht still he be suspeckit,
Ȝit still the faithfull may compt him as eleckit.
