That feruent faithfull seruand of the Lord,

Quhome I dar bauldly byde at till haue bene,

Ane maist trew Preichour of the Lordis word.

I rak nathing quhat Rebalds[376] heir record,

Quha neuer culd speik gude of godlynes.

This man I say eschaipit fyre and sword,

And deit in peace, in praise of vprichtnes.

Bot that this may be maid mair manifest:

I will discurs sum thing in speciall,

Tuiching this Lamp, on lyfe quhill he did lest.
