52 And Jesus waxʼt in wyssheid, and in stature, and in favor wiʼ God and wiʼ man.
And the bairn grew, and waxʼd sterk in spirit, and was iʼ the deserts to the day he was made kent to Israʼl.
And the bairn grew, and waxʼt strang; fuʼ oʼ wisdom; and Godʼs tender favor was wiʼ him.
For ane that is sae doin service to Christ, is weel‐pleasin to God, and acceptit oʼ men.
