XII. Thay tyrit God with, tryfillis tume trentalis, And daifit him with thair daylie dargeis; With owklie Abitis, to augment thair rentalis, Mantand mort-mumlingis, mixt with monye leis. Sic sanctitude was Sathanis sorcereis, Christis sillie scheip, and sobir flok, to smeir: To ceiss all sindrye sectis of hereseis, God gif tW grace aganis this guid new-yeir. XIII.

XV. The epistollis and evangelis now ar prechit, But sophistrie or ceremoneis vane; Thy pepill, maist pairt, trewlie now ar techit, To put away idolatrie prophaine: Bot in sum hartis is gravit new agane, Ane image, callit cuvatyce of geir 5 Now, to expell that idoll standis up plane, God gif the grace aganis this guid new-yeir.
