In god thre thingis scripture dois declare
Hie power sapience / and hie bonyte
Quhilk thing to everye king ar necessare 35

The sceptor sapience / crown hie on pi heid
Abone all vper takynnis bonyte
In thy realme qr thow suld iustice leid 40
The royall rob so riche of purpure blew
schawis pe ane king of iustice instrument
quhilk amang colouris is maist hevinlye hew
in signe thow suld be godlye in entent
The lynning quhyte pmentis pe innocent 45
And signefeis of conscience clarite
He J>at pir wantis is insufficient
And rycht vnworthie royall king to be
The schyre of stait betakynnis in deid
The trune triumphall of pe trinytie
Thy riall lordis richelye cled in weid
Off hevin ministeris / dois heir signifie
Quhillds suld do iustice respondent to the
And thow to god sail anser for J>ame all

And in ]?is realme thow king is terrenall
Quhat is pe caus sic truble sic debait

The pure than tholis grit oppressioun
The lord for vertew takis volupte
No difference puttis betuix reif and reasoun
How sould ane blind man / colouris estemie
