3 “For sic things as ye tellʼt iʼ the mirk, sal be heard iʼ the licht; and what to the secret hearin ye spak iʼ the chaumer, sal be cryʼt on the hoose‐taps.
“What I tell ye iʼ the mirk, tell ye oot iʼ the licht; and what ye hear whushʼt iʼ the lug, proclaim ye on the hoose‐taps!
“And I say tʼye, Ilka lowse word that men sal say, they sal gie accoont oʼt at the Day oʼ Judgment!
“Lat him that is on the hoose‐tap no gang doon to tak ony oʼ his plenishin oot oʼ the hoose!
