falt Wha can sit still and smoothlie heere Their companie baith banne and swere Which euill custome drawes on also Themselues to swearing or they go Great cause sall sic haue to lament Except in tyme they do repent His other speaches all are pend In prose as after shall be kend He craued one thing feruentlie That he might end this miserie From time he sawe some of the Kirk Not vprightly beginne to wirk Bot Christ his cause for to betray This speach on dead bed when he lay He vttered oft with hart full sare Crauing dissoluing without mare Bot cheiflie sen the Assemblie Halden the date of seuentie thrie And saxt of March where many man In Edinburgh assembled than The double dealing he saw thare Past neuer from his heart but mare Na seiknes could make him forget That last Assemblie as it set Touching the quhilk what he spake thare Now is not needfull to declare Gods iust Iudgements he did foresee Approching fast to this Cuntrie When some said Sir why do ye craue So earnestly this lyfe to laue He sayd Brethren sawe ye I wisse The sight I see of heauenly blisse And contrarewise gif ye did see A blink of that great misery That vnto Scotland fast doth hy Ye wald wish death as well as I So great is our ingratitude Persauing then 〈◊〉 to conclude That he wes to depart this life He sent hame quicklie for his wife Quha but all tarying came thare Fra she got word with heart full sare She raid that wilsome wearie way Neir fourtie myles on Law Sunday Be she had beene there dayes thrie He parted from this miserie Till heauens blisse I am right sure His soule on Thursday next did sure So gude Iohn Knox he followed sone Within a yeare and halfe was gone Then did the Lard of Lochinvar With all the Cuntrie far and naâ—â— In ane litter his corps bring downe On Fryday to Dammellintoune That night fyfteene nights he didly There blyth and glaid as he came by That night his body brought on beir An haâ—stie change we may see heir In earth is na mair constancie Then wherefore pride-full should we be Or in these earthlie things confyde As we were euer heir to byde Sen we see all of women borne Bot this day hâ—ir away to morne Bot ane kennis not another gude On Saterday then to conclude The four and twentie of Aprile The Lairds and Gentil-men of Kyle Yea baith of high and lawe degrie Met him therewith sic Assemblie As was not seene in Kyle before This hundreth yeares and many more Many wette cheaks at that meeting There might be seene with sare sighing It wald haue made anes hart full sare To see the meeting that was thare Though they knewe he was well but doubt Yet their affections bursted out And could not let them to lament For losse of sic an Instrument So they receiued the corps that day From Lochinvar and Galloway And with all honour did it bring Unto the Kirkyard of Machling Where they did burie him but mare And sa I leaue him lyand thare And will speake something of his wife Wha shortly after left this life For as thay were baith ioynd in hart Sa death almost could not them part And as in life thay did agrie So death could not keepe them sundrâ—â— For in Aprill the twentie tway He did depart in Galloway In Iune next she gaue vp the ghost About the midst of it almost In the hote feauer she also Out of this miserie did go In Iames Bannareins house of Air For short before she had past thare Thinking to liue most quietly Among that godly company For the hale race of all that hous Of Kinyeancleugh are right zealous And of lang tyme hes sa bene kend The Lord assist thame to the end For Robert and this Iames of Air Sister and brother barnis ware And sa nane meeter she could finde For to remaine withall behinde Bot God had ordaind what should mair That she should end her life in Air Fra her husband wes brought on beir She had no pleasure longer heir Bot did desire most hartfullie At Gods pleasure with him to be Quhilk she obteined in short space And so was caried to that place In the Kirkyarde where he dois ly Of Machling and layd hard him by Lang may ye seek to finde sic tway As God there nowe hes tane away For what man he was I haue told Of singular graces manifold And as for her the trueth to tell Among women she bure the bell During her daies in her degrie In godlines and honestie Of Iudgement rypest in Gods Law Of any woman that I knaw In Gods buke she was so verse it That scarce wald men trow to rehearse it Of so excellent memorie And al 's of sic dexteritie Gods word to vse to her comfort And theirs who did to her resort That her to heare it was delyte In Scriptures she was so perfyte Quhilk was not words and babling vaine Bot words with knawledge ioynd certaine Quhilk in her life she did expresse By doing as shee did prosesse All Gods true seruants far and neir She did esteeme as Freinds most deir And neuer loued societie With any godlesse companie Baith wise and provident was sho In houshold things she had ado Quhat should I say this woman od Was his great comfort vnder God And doubtles was of God a blessing Of speciall gifts after his wishing So for to end as I began I wait sic ane woman and man Of so many gude properties Of rare and heauenly qualities Is not in Scotland left behind Whais waytaking we be not blind Should make vs clearlie vnderstand That Gods iust Iudgments are at hand To punish the Rebellion Of this maist stubborne nation Who to Gods will dois not attend For no punition he dois send For we may easilie considder The waytaking of thir together Of so excellent behaueours And that almost bot in their flowers For nane of them was past throughlie The age of fourtie yeares and thrie Is not for nought what euer it be That is to followe hastelie For why sic as the Lord God loues Before the plague he oft remoues According as the Scripture sayes Quhilk shortned good Iosias dayes With many others that are past And that great plagues approched fast Gude Robert as we heard before Foresawe and plainly did deplore As all man grant as well as he That hes Iudgment or eies to see Therefore sen they are tane away For to fore warne vs all I say That God is reddy for to come With plagues to punish all and some That dois delight in wickednes In reif murther and filthines And covatyce whereof they grow Quhilk this hale Cuntrie dois ouerflow And all the lang rebellion To God within this Nation Whose Iudgements now we see appeare And their forerunners drawing neere Let vs with all the speed we can Go hide vs with the prudent man That seis the plague while it is far And hydes himselfe or it come nar By turning vnto Christ our King And hyding vs vnder his wing Wha in all tempest wind and preace Is our refuge and hyding place As Isay in the thirtie tway Of that his Prophecie dois say So we of safetie shall be sure What euer plagues euill men endure On whome that great day but releif Shall suddainely come as a theif And turne in twinkling of ane eye Their Ioy and mirth to miserie And we shall passe for evermore To raigne with Christ our King in glore Who saued vs and none but he Bearing our sinnes vpon the tree To whome therefore euer be praise And to the Father eik alwaies And to the holy Spirit most free One onely God and persones
