The secund proffit, rycht as our Text it merks,
Tuytching the bringing furth of Godlie werks,
With faithfull Pepill that dois thair God regaird,
Semplie I haue heir in few wourds declaird,
So that thair rests of this mateir no mair,
Bot the thrid proffit onlie to declair,
Quhilk schortlie now, be Gods grace, I sall end:
Gyf earis heirfor, and to my wourds attend!
