For thocht the richtyus doith seuin tymes daylie Sin,
Ȝit dois he nocht contynew still thairin;
For, be his Spreit Christ geuis thame Iudgement
To knaw thair Sin; syne maks thame to repent,
So that tha do nocht in thair Sin delyte,
Bot murnis thairfor with conscience contryte,
As Dauid, Peter, and the Magdalene,
With mony mo nor heir I may contene.
