Sae Pilate, seein he prevailʼt‐na, but that raither a tulzie was risin, had watir, and weshʼt his hauns afore aʼ the folk, sayin, “I am innocent oʼ the blude oʼ this richtous man! See ye tillʼt!”
Lat us come nar, wiʼ leal hearts, in the fuʼ confidence oʼ faith; haein been strinklʼt in oor hearts frae an ill conscience; and haein been weshʼt in oor bodies wiʼ pure watir;
But the wisdom that is frae Aboon is first to purify, than peaceable and cannie; easy to be entreatit, fuʼ oʼ mercy and gude frutes; wiʼ nae puʼin doon; and aefauld.
Whilk, as a true likeness, noo saves ye, eʼen baptism (no the syndin‐awa oʼ the filth oʼ the flesh, but the speirin oʼ a gude conscience toward God) throwe the Risin‐again oʼ Jesus Christ.
