21 “Ye ken hoo it was spoken till the folk oʼ auld: ‘Ye maunna kill; and whasae kills is in danger oʼ the Coort.’
“Ye hae heard it was said lang syne, ‘Ye sanna commit adultery!’
“Ance mair, ye ken it has been said by them oʼ by‐past time, ‘Ye sanna mansweer yersel, but yeʼse render to the Lord yere aiths!’
“Ye ken it has been said, ‘An ee for an ee, and a tooth for a tooth!’
“Ye ken it has been said, ‘Ye sal loʼe yere neebor, and hate yere fae.’
Ilka ane that hates his brither is a blude‐shedder; and we ken that nae blude‐shedder has evir‐durin life bidin in him.
