Feillinge.
From prick of Conscience, such a stingeAs kills the soule, Heauens blisse my king;
From such a brybe as may withdraw
His thoughts from Equitie and Law;
From such a smouth and bardles chine
As may prouocke or tempt to sin;
From such a hand quhosse palme may
My soueraing leid out from the way;
From things pollutit and wncleine,
From all thats beastly and obschene;
From quhat may set his soule one reilling,
Bliss my soueraing & his feillinge.
