His subiettis and his puple he our-thrawis,
And them diſpolȝeith boith of lond and Rent;
[1880] So is the king, ſo is the puple ſchent.
For the voice of the oppressed shrieketh up ceaselessly to heaven;
For-quhi the woice It ſcrikth vp ful ewyne
With-out abaid, and paſſith to the hewyne,
Whar god hyme-ſelf reſauith ther the crye
[1884] Of the oppreſioune and the teranny,
and God smiteth down with the sword of vengeance.
And vith the ſuerd of wengans doun y-ſmytith,
