And in the contrair, accompt this for no bourd,
Quho dois contempne of God the lyuelie wourd.
And dois menteine peruerst Idolatrie,
And will nocht cum to heir the veritie,
And quha that cummis to heir, and dois abuse it,
And quha hes hard, syne efter dois refuse it,
Turnand as Tykis vnto thair vomatyue,—
As sum hes done, that leuand ar on lyue,—
