Nae trial has come to ye but a human ane; and God is leal and true, and winna lat ye be tryʼt aboon what ye are fit to thole; but wull mak wiʼ the trial a gate oʼ escape, that ye may be able to haud oot.
Els, gin aiblins ye be blessin iʼ the spirit, hoo sal he that is wantin in gifts say the “Amen,” at yere giean oʼ thanks? sinʼ he kens‐na what ye are sayin!
He that dis sin is oʼ Sautan; for Sautan sins frae the first. And for this end was the Son oʼ God made kent, that he micht whammle ower the warks oʼ Sautan.
Eftir thir things I heard as a soondin voice oʼ an unco thrang in Heeven, and they said, “Hallelujah! The salvation, and the glorie, and the pooer oʼ oor God!
“Be‐na‐fleyʼt as to whatna things ye are to dree. And look! the Enemy is aboot to cast some oʼ ye intil thrall, that ye may be testit; and yeʼse hae dool ten days. Be ye leal to death, and I wull gie ye the croon oʼ Life!
“And he sal dicht aʼ tears frae their een; and Death sal be nae mair; nor dool, nor ootcry, nor pain sal be ony mair: for aʼ the auld things are gane‐by!”
“For that ye did keep the word oʼ my patience, I sal eʼen keep ye oot oʼ the ʼoor oʼ trial, whilk is coming on the hail warld, to test them dwallin on the yirth.
And ilka creatit thing that is in Heeven, and on the yirth, and aneath the yirth, and on the sea, heard I sayin, “To him that sits on the Thron, and to the Lamb, be the blessin, and the honor, and the glorie and the pooer, for evir and aye!”
