BANNATYNE MS.
43
I wretchit sywner vyle and full of vyce
Off the sevin deidly synnys dois me schirryve
Page 95 Off pryd / off yre / Invy / and covetyce fol. i8«
Off lichery / gluttony / with slewth ay to ourdryve 20
Exercing vycis evir in all my lyve
ffor quhilk allace I servit to be schent
Rew on me lesu for thy woundis fyve
I cry the mercy and lasar to repent
I confeft me lord that I abusit half 25
The sevin deidis of mercy corporall
To hungre meit / Nor drynk to thristy gaif
Nor veseit the seik / Nor did redeme the thrall
Harbreit the wolsome / Nor naikit cled attall
Nor 3it the deid to bury / tuke I tent 30
Thow that put mercy aboif thy workis all
I cry the mercy and lasar to repent
In the sevin deidis of marcy spirituall
To ignorantis nocht gaif I my teiching
Synnaris correctioun / Nor destitut counsall 35
Na1 vnto wofull wretchis conforting
Nor to my nytbouris support of my praying
Nor was to ask forgifnes penitent
Nor to forgif my nytbouris offending
I cry the mercy and lasar to repent 40
Lord I half done full littill reverence
To thy sacramentis excellent of renoun
Thy haly supper ffor my syn recompence
And of my gilt the holy satisfactioun
And bapteme als quhilk all my syn wesche doun 45
Heirof als far as I was negligent
With hairt contreit and teiris falling doun
I cry the mercy and lasar to repent
