Luke 18:13 - New Testament in Braid Scots 1904 (William Wye Smith)
13 “But the tax‐man, staunin far yont, fearʼt to lift up sae mickle as his een till Heeven, but strack his breist, cryin, ‘Lord! be mercifuʼ toward me, the sinner!’
“And whaneʼer ye pray be‐na as the pretenders; for weel they like to pray iʼ the kirks, and at the corners oʼ the braid causeys, sae as folk soud see them. Aye, aye! say I; they hae gotten their reward!
For behauld! this vera thing — the makin wae accordin to God: what unco tentiness it wrocht in ye; what judgin oʼ yer sels; what sair indignation, what fear, what fain desire, what zeal, what repayin! In aʼ things ye hae schawn yersels to be pure in this maitter.
