The minor poems of William Lauder | ||
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.
To Gods command and wourd of verite,

And with the wekit, thocht still he be suspeckit,
