Forsuith we walled be well content, To harby ȝow with Good intent, War nought we have impediment: For quhy we twa ar married: Bot wist our wyfis that ȝe war heir, They walled make all this town on steir: Therefore we reid ȝow rin areir, In dreid ȝe be miscaryit. Quhat uther enemies hes thou let us ken? We think ȝour counsel is very Good, As ȝe have said we all conclude. Of this conclusion Noter we make ane act: Sir we with michtie courage at command Of ȝour superexcellent Majesty, Shall make service baith with our heart and hand, And shall not dreid in thy defence to die: We ar content but doubt that we may see That noble heavinlie King Correction, Sa he with mercy make punition. My Lords we mon reform their consistory laws, Quhais great defame above the heavens blawis. I wist ane man in pursuing ane kow, Or he had done he spendit half ane bow. Sa that the kings honour we may avance, We will conclude, as they have done in France. Let Spiritual maters pass to Spritualitie, And Temporal maters to Temporality. Quha failȝeis of this shall cost them of their Good, Scribe make ane act, for sa we will conclude. My Lords ȝe knaw the thrie estaits, For Common-weill should make debates: Let now among us be devysit, Sic acts that with Good men be praysit. Conforming to the common law, For of nam man we should stand awe. And for till saif us From murmell, Schone Diligence fetch us Gude-counsell For quhy he is ane man that knawis, Baith the Cannon and Civil laws. I am content sir be the mess: Swa that the Spirituality, Sets theirs in few also well as we. My sovereign Lords we will obey, And taken ȝour partly with heart and hand, Quhat ever ȝe pleis us to command. Heir sal the Temporal stait fit down on their knies, & say. Bot we beseek ȝow Sovereign, Of all our cryms that ar bygaine To gifvs ane remission, And heir we make to ȝow condition, The Common-weill for till defend From henceforth till our lives end. Sir be my faith I think it very Good, That From hence forth nam Priests shall pass to Room. Because our substance they do stillconsume. For pleyis and for their profeit singulair, They have of money maid this realm bair. And also I think it best be my advise, That ilk Priest shall have bot ane benefice. And give they keip nought that fundatioun, It shall be cause of deprivation. Fit still my Lord, ȝe neid not for till braull, Their ar the very words of th'Apostill Paull. My Lords let be ȝour disputation, Conclude with firm deliberaioun. How Prelates From thine shall be disponit: Ar all they tails true that thou tells? Forsuith my lord I think we suldconclude, Sing this kow ȝe have in consuetude: We will decern heir that the Kings grace, Shall write unto the Paipis holiness: With his consent be proclamation, Baith corspresent and cow we shall cry down. My lord be him that all the World hes wrought, We set nought by quhider ȝe consent or nought: Ȝe ar bot ane estait and we ar twa, Quhy my Lord says he ocht bot verity Ȝe can nought stop ane pure man for till pleinȝe Give he hes faltit, summoned him to ȝour Seinȝe. Sir we beseek ȝour sovereign celsitude, Of our dochtours to have compassion: Quhom we may nam way marry be the Rude, Without we make sum alienatioun Of our land for their supportation, For quhy? the markit raisit be sa High That Prelates dochtours of this Nation, Ar married with sic superfluity: They will nought spair to give twa thousand pound, With their dochtours to ane noble man: In riches sa they do superabound. Bot we may nought do sa be Sanct Allane, Their proud Prelates our Daughters sair may ban; That they remain at hame sa Long vnmaryit: Sir let ȝour Barrouns do the best they can, Sum of our dochtours I dreid salbe miscaryit.
