THE EXHORTATIOUN VPON THE FIRST HEAD.
Quhairfor I do Imploir with humbill hartIlk man in earth, to ponder thair awin part,
And to considder in to quhat stait tha stand,
Quhidder with God, or contrair his command,
That he that stands may stand, and nocht do fall,
And quho hes fallin, may knaw the sam at all;
10
To grant thame grace vp frome thair fall to ryse,
And to contynew in Christis Euangell trew,
And so Ingraftit in to Christ Iesu.
This fer, deir brether, sall stand for the first heid;
Nixt to the Secund, schortlie I proceid.
