He hath firstly in charge to make inquisition, Whether Altars be re-edified whether chalice and book, Vestments for Mass, sacraments and procession, Be prepared again: if not he must look, And find out such fellows as these cannot brook: And to my Lord Legate such merchants present, That for their offence they may have condign punishment. If any we take tardy Tyranny them threat, That for their negligence he will them present, And I desirous some money to get, If aught they will give me, their evil will prevent, Yea sometime, of purpose, such shifts we invent. Peace, yonder comes one (methink) it is a priest, By his gown cap and tippet, made of a list. IN good seth sir, this news de gar me lope, Ay is as light as ay me wend, give that you will me troth, Far new again within awer land installed is the Pope, Whose legate with authority tharawawt awr country goeth, And charge befare him far te come, us Priests end lemen bathe, Far te spay awt give that he mea, these new sprang Arataykes, Whilk de disturb awr haly Kirke, laik a sart of saysmataykes. Awr gilden Gods are brought again intea awr Kirks ilk whare, That unto tham awr Parishioner, ma affer that goodwill, Far haly Mass in ilk place, new thea theauters prepare, haly water, Pax, Cross, Banner, Censor and candle, Cream, Crismatory, haly Bred, the rest omit ay will, Whilt haly Fathers did invent fre awed Antiquity, Be new received into awr Kirks, with great solemnity. Bay these though lemen been apprest, the Clergy sall het gean, Far te awr Sents these affer yifts all whilk we sall receive, Awr haly Mass, thaw thea bay dear, thea de it but in vain, Far thaw their friends frea Purgatory, te help thea dea believe, Yet of their hope, give need rewhayre it wawd theme all deceive, Sea wawde awr Pilgrimage, Relics, Trentals and Pardons, Whilk far awr geyn into awr Kirk are brought in far the nonce. Far well a near what war awr tenths & taythes that grow in filled, What give we han of glebed land e'en plawwark bay the year, Awr affring deas de vara laytell are nething te us yield, Awr Beadroll geanes, awr chrisom clethes de laity mend awr fare Give awt of this we pea far vale, we laity mare can spare, Sawl Masses, Diriges, Monethmayndes and buryings, Allsoulnday, Kirkings, Ban-asking and weddings. The Sacraments, give we mote sell, war better than thea all, Far give the Jews gave thratty pence, te hang Chrayst on a tree, Good christian folk thrayse thratty pence wawd count a price but small Sea that te eat him with their teeth delayuered he mawght be, New of this thing deliverance, ne man can make but we, See that the market in this punt. we Priests sawed han at will, And with the money we sowed yet, awr pooches we sowd fill.

He hath firſtly in charge to make inquiſition, Whether Aulters be reedified whether chalice and booke, Veſments for Maſſe, ſacraments and proſeſſion, Be prepared againe: if not he muſt looke, And finde out ſuch fellowes as theſe cannot brooke: And to my Lord Legate ſuch Marchants preſent, That for their offence they may haue condign puniſhmēt. If any we take tardy Tyranny them threat, That for their neglygence he will them preſent, And I deſirous ſome money to get, If ought they will giue me, their euill will preuent, Yea ſomtime, of purpoſe, ſuch ſhifts we inuent.
