THE DIUISIOUN OF THE TEXT.

This part of Text quhilk I am to discyde,
In to two headis—will God—I sall deuyde:
The first head, the punyschement sall be
Of wekit Synnairis for thair Iniquytie;

4

And speciallie, the tormentis heir I schaw
Of thame that dois contem Godis wourd & Law,
And how the wekit ar nocht ingraft in Christ,
Bot ar the Children of the Antechrist.
The secund head sall be the riche rewaird
The Godlie gettis, quhilk dois thair God regaird,
And how tha ar ingraft in Christ Iesu,

Iho. x[v.]

Be the imbracing of his wourd most trew.
