12 “Saying, ‘Thir last anes hae putten‐in ae ʼoor, and ye hae made them even wiʼ us, wha hae dreed the weary cark and scouther oʼ the day!’
“And whan they gat it, they yammerʼt again the gudeman,
“And whan a sooth winʼ is blawin, ye are sayin, ‘A het day wull there be!’ and it is sae.
Whaur comes in gloryin, than? It is putten awa! On whatna principle? Oʼ warks? Nay! But throwe the principle oʼ faith.
Gin at least he be the God, wha wull justify the circumceesion for their faith, and the uncircumceesion by like faith!
Eʼen to this ʼoor, we hae hungʼer, and drooth, and nakitness; are clourʼd, and cuisten‐oot;
That they oʼ the nations soud be aiqual heirs, and aiqual body, and aiqual pairtners iʼ the promise in Christ Jesus, by the Gude‐word.
For uprises the sun, wiʼ its birsʼlin heat, and birsles the gerss; “and its blume faʼs awa,” and the ee‐sweetness and beauty oʼ its face is gane! eʼen sae the rich man dwines awa in his ways.
