ANE GENERALL DISCRIPTIOUN OF THAME THAT BYDIS NOCHT IN CHRIST.
In Christ tha byde nocht, we do vnderstand,
The quhilk, aggreing vnto his command,
Dois nocht imbrace his wourd most louynglie,
With feruent mynd and hart most constantlie,
And in that wourd hes nocht ane solyde faith:
Thir bydis nocht in Christ, the Scripture saith,
Bot ar Inuoluit in-to dung-hillis of Sin,
And euerye daye frome Sin to Sin tha rin.
The quhilk, aggreing vnto his command,
Dois nocht imbrace his wourd most louynglie,
With feruent mynd and hart most constantlie,
And in that wourd hes nocht ane solyde faith:
Thir bydis nocht in Christ, the Scripture saith,
Bot ar Inuoluit in-to dung-hillis of Sin,
And euerye daye frome Sin to Sin tha rin.
