CHAPTER III.
The thrid chapiter expremys in mynd
The stait of angell and mankynd.
The stait of angell and mankynd.
Sanct Gregour in ane omelye
Thus sayis of angellis opinly:
The kynd of angellis and of men
God maid of nocht him for to ken;
And for he wald þat kynd suld be
Ay lestand in eternite,
Till his schap and his awne liknes
Angell and man formyt wes.
Off angellis orderis thrise thre
In his scripturis rehersis he.
The name of angell to devise
Is nocht of kynd bot of office;
A messinger suld ane angell be
Quhen chargeit oucht to say is he.
Angellis we may spretis call,
Bot angellis are nocht spretis all.
The angellis we fynd vsuale
Titulit be names spirituall.
The first is callit Mychaell,
Gabriell syne and Raphaell.
Off angellis nature and þare stait
I trow fere better þan I wait;
And better is þat we all commend
To God þat we can nocht defend,
Sen na thing is þat he na may;
Than we oure solely aucht to say
That may nocht in ws consauit be,
Na pruffit be leill autorite.
Forthy fra it I turne my stile
Off mankynd to carp a quhile.
