4 Scots Songs.
Hibernia's lovely Jane.
Death of Sally Roy.
The Soldier's dream.
The birken tree.
KILMARNOCK:
P R I N T E D FOR T H E
BOOKSELLERS.
�SCOTS SONGS.
H I B E R N U ' S LOVELY
JANE.
D E P A R T I N G from the Scottish shore,
And the Highland mossy banks,
T o Germany I first-sailed o'er,
And joined the hostile flanks ;
At length in Ireland we arrived,
After a long campaign,
W h e r e a bonny maid my heart betrayed,
Hibernia's lovely Jane.
H e r cheeks were of the rosy hue,
T h e bright glance of her een*
Sparkled like pure drops of dew,
That bespangle the meadows gree<i4
Jane Cameron ne'er was half so lair,
Nor Jessie of Dumblane,
N o r prosper pine could not outshine
Hibernia's lovely Jane.
I oft have faced the daring foe,
W h e n in the blood-stained field,
I have escaped death's fatal blow,
But now to love must yield.
Cupid's dart has pierced my heart*
W i t h love's tormenting pain,
Since first I saw that lassie braw,
Hibernia's lovely Jane.
�3
My tartan plaid I will forsake,
My commission I'll resign;
The bonny nymph my bride I'll make,
If the lassie will be mine.
In Hibernians isle, where the graces smile,
For life I would remain-,
In hymen's band join heart and hand,
With Hibernia's lovely Jane.
But the bonny Irish lassie fair,
She feeing of high degree,
Her parents say their daughter ne'er
A soldier's bride shall be.
O'erwheimed with grief and despair,
No hopes for me r e m a i n ;
It grieves my heart for to part
With Hibernia's lovely Jane,
Should Mars the trumpet sound,
And call his sons to arms ;
And Neptune waft me o'er the main.
Far, far frae Jeanie's charms.
Should I be laid on honour's bed,
Or by a shot e'er be slain,
Death will cure what I endure
For Hibernia's lovely Jane.
Ye supreme Deities incline,
To tranquilize my breast,
I'll wander to some distant clime,
T o obtain peace and rest.
Through woods and groves,
Where none shall hear my strain^
�Since that nymph will not be mine,
Farewell Hibemia's lovely Jane.
D E A T H OF SALLY
ROY.
F A I R Sally, once the village pride*
Lies cold and wan in yonder valley:
She lost her lover, and she died,
Grief broke the heart of gentle Sally.
Young Valiant was the hero's name,
For early valour fir'd the boy.
W h o barter'd all his love for fame,
And kill'd the hopes of Sally R o y .
Swift from the arms of weeping love,
As rag'd the war in yonder valley,
He rush'd, his martial power to prove,
While faint with fear sunk lovely Sally,
At noon she saw the youth depart,
At eve she lost her darling j o y ;
Ere night the last throb ©f her heart
Declar'd the fate of Sally Roy.
T h e virgin train in tears are seen,
W h e n yellow midnight fills the valley,
Slow stealing o'er the dewy green,
Towards the grave of gentle Sally !
And while remembrance wakes the sigh,
W h i c h weenfr each feeling heart from joy,
T h e mourning dirge, ascending high,
Bewails the fate of Sally Roy.
�5
THE SOLDIER'S
DREAM.
O U R bugles had sung, for the night-cloud had
lower'd,
And the sentinel stars set the watch in the sky,
And thousands had sunk on the ground overpower'd,
T h e weary to sleep, and the wounded to die.
When reposing that night on my pallet of straw,
By the wolf-scaring faggot, and guarded the
slain,
At the dead of the night a sweet vision I saw,
And twice ere the cock crew I dreamt it again.
Methought from the battle-field's dreadful array,
Far far I had roam'd on a desolate track,
Till nature and sunshine disclos'd the sweet way
T o the house of my father, that welcorn'd me
back.
I flew to the pleasant fields, travelPd so oft
In life's morning march, when my bosom was
young,
I heard my own mountain-goats bleating aloft,
And well knew the strain that the corn-reapers
sung,
Then pledg'd we the wine-cup, and fondly we
swore,
From my home and my weeping friends never
to p a r t ;
�6
My little ones kiss'd me a hundred times o'er,
And my wife sobb'd aloud in the fulness of
heart.
Stay* stay with u s ! rest! thou art weary and
worn,
And fain was the war-broken soldier to stay *
But sorrow return'd with the dawning of morn*
And the voice in my dreaming ear melted
away.
THE BIRKEN
FREE.
L A S S gin ye wad think it right,
T o gang wi' me this very night,
And cuddle till the morning light,
By a* the lave unseen.
And you shall be my dearie,
My am dearest dearie,
And you shall be my dearie,
Gin you'll meet me at e'en.
I darena for my mammy gae,
She locks the door and keeps the key,
And e'en and morn she charges me,
And flytes ay about the men
She says they're a' deceivers,
Deceivers, deceivers,
She says they're a' deceivers*
I needna trust to ane.
�7
But lassie what's to hinder thee,
To steal an hour out owre the lea,
And meet me at the Birken Tree,
You'll no be mist at h a m e :
And never mind your mammy,
Yotfr auld canker'd mammy,
And never mind your mammy,
Or else you'll He your lane.
She simply said I dinna ken,
M y mother trots baith butt and benn,
And if she hears I'm wi' the men,
She'll ask me where I've been :
Then what can I say laddie,
Laddie, laddie,
Then what can I say laddie,
For being out at e'en.
O , never mind your mammy's yell,
I'se warrant she's met your dad hersel,
And should she fiyte ye may her tell
She's often done the same:
So lassie gi'es your hand on't,
Your bonny milk white hand on
So lassie gi'es your hand on't*
And scorn to lie your lane.
O, lad, my hand I canna gi'e,
But ablins I may steal the key,
And meet you at the Birken Tree,
T h a t stands ayont the g k n :
�8
But dinna lippen, laddie,
I canna promise, laddie,
So dinna lippen, laddie,
For fear I dinna win.
N o w he's gane to the Birken Tree,
In hopes his lover there to see,
And soon came tripping owre the lea,
His sweet endearing Jean;
And she clinket down beside him,
Beside him, beside him,
She clinket down beside him,
Upon the grass so green.
I'm overjoy'd with raptures now,
Cried he, and preed her cherry m o u ' ;
And Jean's ne'er haen cause to rue,
T h a t night upon the green
For she has got her Jemmy,
Her sweet dear loving Jemmy,
For she has got her Jemmy,
And Jemmy's got his Jean.
FINIS.

�LOVE SONGS
THE
LEA-RIG.
W H E N o'er the hill the eastern star
Tells bughtin-dme is near, my jo,
And owsen frae the furrow'd field
Return sae dowf and weary, O ;
'Down by the burn, where scented birks
Wi' dew are hanging clear, my jo,
I'll meet thee on the lea rig,
My ain kind dearie, O.
In miikest glen, at midnight hour,
I'd rove, a r d ne'er be eerie, O,
If through that glen I gaed to thee,
My ain kind dearie, O*
Although the night were ne'er sae wild,
And I were ne'er sae weary, O,
I ' d meet thee on the lea.rig,
My ain kind dearie, O.
T h e hunter lo'es the morning sun,
T o rouse the mountain deer, my j o ;
At noon the fisher seeks the glen,
Along the burn to steer, my jo,
Gi'e me the hour o' gloamin grey,
It makes my heart sae cheery, Q»
* o meet thee on the lea-rig,
ain kind deeiie, 0 .

AULD
ROB MORRIS.
T H E R E ' S auld Rob Morris that wons in yon glen V
He's the king o' good fellows and wale o' auld m e n ,
H e has gowd in his coffers, he has owsen and kine.
A n d ae bonny lassie, his darling and mine.
She's fresh as the morning, the fairest in May ;
She's sweet as the evening amang the new h a y ;
A s blithe and as artless as the lambs on the lea,
And dear to my heart as the light to my ee.
Bat, o h ! she's an heiress, auld Robie's a laird,
And my daddy has nought but a cot-house and yard
A wooer like me maunna hope to succeed,
The wounds I must hide that will soon be my dead*
The day comes to me, but delight brings me nane;
T h e night comes to *ne? but my rest it is g a n e :
I wander my lane like a night*troubled ghaist,
And I sigh as my heart it wad burst in rny breast.
0 had she but been of a lower degree,
1 then might ha'e hop'd she wad smil'd upon me !
O, how past describing had then been my bliss,
As now my distraction no words can express!
MY H I G H L A N D HOME.
MY Highland home, where rempests blow,
And cold thy wintry looks,
T h y mountain crown'd with driven snow,
And ice-bound are thy brooks s
�4
But colder far the Briton's heart,
However far he roam,
T o whom these words no joy impart,
" My native Highland home. ,>
Then gang wi' me to Scotland d e a r ;
We ne'er again will roam ;
And with thy smiles so bonny, cheer
My native Highland home.
When summer comes, the heather-bell
Shall tempt thy feet to rove;
T h e cushat-dove, within the dell,
Invite to peace and love :
For blythesome is the breath of May,
And sweet the bonny broom,
And pure the dimpling rills that play
Around my Highland home.
Then gang wi' me, &c.
I'LL LOVE T H E E EVER DEARLY.
L E T others breathe the melting sigh,
And swear they love to madness;
T o them I leave the tearful eye,
And all love's sober sadness.
No tender vows and prayers are mine ;
But this I swear sincerely,
While truth and honest love are thine,
I'll love thee ever dearly.
Then, lady, though I scorn the wile«
Which love too oft discovers,
Ne'er spurn the heart that woos in smiles,
For smiles were made tor lovers.
�5
A n d though no tender vows are mine.
Yet this 1 swear sincerely,
While truth and honest love are thine,
I'll love thee ever dearly.
SMILE AGAIN.
S M I L E again, my bonny lassie,
Lassie, smile again;
Pr'ythee do not frown, sweet lassie,
For U gives me pain.
If to love thee too sincerely
Be a fault in me,
Thus to use me so severely
Is not kind in thee.
Oh ! smile again, my bonny lassie,
Lassie, smile again.
Oh 1 smile again, my bonny lassie,
Pr'ythee smile again.
Fare thee well, my bonny lassie,
Lassie, fare thee well!
Time will show thee, bonny lassie.
More than tongue can tell.
Though we're doom'd by fate to sever,
( A n d 'tis hard to part,)
Still, believe me, thou shalt ever
Own my faithful heart,
Then smile again, my bonny lassie,
Lassie, smile again,
Oh ! smile again, my bonny lassie,
Pr'ythee smile again,
�SOMEBODY.
MY heart is sair, I dare na tell,
My heart is sair for somebody;
I could wake a winter night
For the sake o* somebody.
Oh hon, for somebody !
Oh hey, for somebody !
I could range the world round,
For the sake o* somebody.
Ye powers that smile on virtuous love,
O, sweetly smile on somebody !
Frae ilka danger keep him free,
A n d send me safe my somebody.
Oh hon, for somebody !
Oh hey, for somebody !
I wad do—what wad I not—
For the sake o* somebody ?
SEE T H E
SHIP.
S E E the ship in the bay is riding,
Dearest Ellen, I go from thee ;
Boldly go, in thy love confiding,
O'er the deep and the trackless sea.
When thy loved form no more is near me,
When thy sweet smile no longer I see,
This soothing thought shall at midnight cheer m e ,
My love is breathing a prayer for me.
Nor can Heaven, a deaf ear lending
T o its loveliest work below,
�7
T h e boon she begs, on her knees low bending,
Refuse in goodness to bestow.
So then, my Ellen, all doubts defying,
Henry shall dauntless cross the wide sea,
His heart on this firm anchor relying,
My love is breathing a prayer for me.
When the thunder of war is roaring,
And the bullets around me fly;
When the rage or the tempests pouring,
Blends the billowy sea and sky;
Then shall my heart, to fear a stranger,
Cherish its fondest hopes for thee,
This der4r reflection disarming danger,
My love is breathing a prayer for me.
And when the din of war is over,
And sweet peace sets the sailor free,
With what joy shall your faithful lover
Fly on love's sweetest wings to thee!
Then with delight each other caressing,
Day after day we shall happier be,
And as my Ellen tells o'er each blessing,
She still will whisper a prayer for me.
H O W L O N G A N D D R E A R Y IS T H E
NIGHT.
H O W long and dreary is the night,
When I am frae my dearie!
I restless lie frae e'en to morn,
Though I were ne'er sae weary.
For, oh ! her lanely nights are Jang,
And, oh ! her dreams are eerie,
�8
A n d , oh 1 her widow'd heart is sair
That's absent frae her dearie.
When I think on the lightsome days
I spent wi' thee, my dearie,
And now what seas between us roar,
H o w can I be but eerie ?
For, oh, See,
H o w slow ye move, ye heavy hours !
The joyless day, how dreary!
I t was nae say ge glinted by,
When I was wi* my dearie*
For, oh, See.
MY W I F E ' S A W I N S O M E W E E
S H E is a winsome wee thing,
She is a handsome wee things
She is a bonny wee thing,
This sweet wee wife o' mine
I never saw a fairer,
I never lo'ed a dearer ;
A n d neist my heart I'll wear her,
For fear my jewel tine,
O leeze me on my wee thing,
My bonny blithesome wee thing I
Sae lang's I ha'e my wee thing,
I'll think my lot divine.
Though warld's care we share o't,
And may see meikle mair o't,
W ? her I'll blithely bear it,
A n d ne'er a word repine*

�D O W A li D
AND
HIS
f
DOG.
Atween twa hills that tower 5 d up to the clouds,
Clad o'er with heather, bent, and wuds ;
'Mang rocks, and steeps, and waters fallingj
W a s Highland Donald's humble dwelliug.
Aroun 5 his hut, beneath his eye,
F e d bout a score o' stirks and key,
W h i l k , wi* his wife and family, were
His pleasure and pecular care:
A m a n g sic barren heights and howes,
W h a r grain for food but scanty grows,
His family were but sparely f e d —
Right coarse, and barely were they clad ;
For he had wi' the laird for years
Had,
6
aginst his will been in arrears
F o r whilk he had to thole the snarl
A n d threats o' the tyrannic carl
Till D o n a l d s independent spirit
�4
Nae 1 auger was resolved to bear it,
And hardships was resolved to s c o r n As the saying- is,
(
to mak< a spoon or spoil &
horn.4
He shrewd and clever was, I trow;
Spak 4 Gaelic weel, and Lawlan's, too ;
And, as he was an honest chiel ?
By a4 his neighbours liket weel.
A e day—contrivin' what to dae
T o keep himsel' aboon the brae—
A plan he modell'd in his head,
And thus it down before them laid
-
That twa weeks hence in England, there
W a d be a great black cattle fair.
W h a r kye as he learnt frae men o* dealings
Gied double price gi'en in the Highlands.
Now if, wi' what he could himsel
Spare safely frae his flock to sell,
They wad mak' up a drove amang them,
He pledged his word he w«adna wrang them?
But render, at his comin' back ?
A just account o' ilka plack;
Allowing him for recompense
Some sma' commission a n d ' s expense/
On this they quickly greed to gia
�5
Oat o' their flocks some tWa, some three
Till a handsome drove colleckit,
And to the south his way direckit.
He mounted was upon a pony,
A dog his servant was, and crony ;
And by his side, like ony lord,
There hung a braid sheep-headed sword—
No as a weaqon o' offence;
But, in case o' need, for self-defence ;
For they wha liket, rich or poor,
Might wear a sword in days o' yore.
Baith ear' and late—baith wat and d r y —
The dog and Donald drave the.kye ;
And, after muckle toil and care
A ' safe and sound they reached the fair.
The kye were said—the price was paid-—
'Twas down in yellow guineas laid ;
The guineas in his purse was sneekit—
The price was mare than he expeckit.
W h i l k raised his heart—and I wat wee!
He thought himsel' a clever chiel.
Instead o' Donald longin' careless
About the fair, to keek at fairlies,
Or bouze wi limmers, or to gamble,
Or spend his cash in ony ramble,
�6
He wisely mounts bis Highland shelly,
And took the road 011 helty skelty.
A s he rode on and cracked his wimp,
A gentleman came riding up,
Wha bade ? Good day,' wi friendly air,
And spiered ' if he'd been at the fair ?'
When Donald, without vain parade,
Returned him thanks, and said 4 hejiad y
And a' his business, tap and tail 0%
When at the fair, he tauld the hale o't.
Right crouse they grew wi' ane auither,
And mony stories tauld to itlier,
Bout kings an' priests an' great commanders
The wars in Britain, France, and Flanders.
When mony mile's they'd rode in league,
They in a hollow reached a brig
Across a burn, tljat ran wi' ease
Down through a glen adorned wi' trees.;
Now 'twas a bonnie summer's day,
When a' the fields were clothed and gay,
They stopped, and dropped there tales arid jo
kin',
Their horses' lowing drouth to slokeri,
And greed some little time to pass,
To let them rest and eat some grass.
�Now, as Donald and his comrade sat
Upon the green, they resumed their chat;
And Donald's dog before their 'feet
Lay stretched, and panting \vi' the h e a t —
And Donald's sword, which he did carry
Beneath his hodden-grey havarry,
The Englishman's attention Seized,
B e begged a sight o% if he pleased
Wliilk Donald drew and frankly gave him,
In confidence he'd not deceive him.
The billy thanked him for the sight o't,
Then praised the size the mak, an weight o't
And asked at Donald, on his word,
If maist he trusted to the dog or sword,
Supposing the case, that any pad
Should demand the money that he had ?
4
The sword,' quoth DonAld,
41
can wield,
And should sic wretch, by road or field,
E'er daur demand frae me a shilling,
I'd plunged with freedom in the villain ;
Y e t nevertheless, for a' my cracks o't,
I wadna gie the dog for sax o ' t
W i ' this the fellow, at the word,
Chapped aff the dog's head with the sword ;
Syne pointed it to Donald's heart,
�8
At id svro^e lie with his cash should part,
Or instantly, with stabs and cuts,
He'd pierce his heart and rip his guts.
' 01" says Donald,
4
spare my life,
For sake o' my poor weans and wife!
IIae, there's the cash; but wi' what shame
And grief maun I face friends at hame I
They'll no believe a word o't neither—
Lord help's, we're ruined a thegither I'
4
Stop.' says the fellow* 'cease your c r y i n g ;
Y o u r friends will not suppose you lying ;
They will believe what you say to them,
B y evidence^ which you shall give them
F k m ever man I rob I've credit,
By giving me his hand I did i t ;
My comrades and I together
This token give to one another ;
So one of your hands must go with me
So take your choice, which shall it be.
4
My dog is gane and darling purse,
And now my hand —still worse and worse
Hae mercy on me " Donald prays,
Ml be a beggar a{ my days. 4
' N o mercy for you, ' cried the wretch;
Come, down wi't—.I'll make quick dispatch
�9
« W e e l then/ says Donald,
4
I submit)
But ae repiiest grant, if it's fit;
That is, since my left hand must go,
Drive't aff at ae most desperate blow ;
N o on the saft green, there perhaps
Ye'll pine me sair by several chaps,
But ye'll at ance mair siccar do't
On yonder smooth tree*s spreading root.4
Puir Donald's prayer was heard, he then
Made bare his left hand shackle-bane,
And on the tree root laid it quaking ;
The robber now his aim was taking—
Baith hands raised the vengfu' whittle,
And, as he drew with awful ettle,
Sly Donald slipped his arm a-jee,
When firm the sword stuck in the tree.
4
Have at ye now, ye cruel wretch, 4
Quoth Donald,
4
I am now your match V
W i t h that he caught him by the collar,
Gied him a jerk that garred him gollar ;
Donald4s blood boiled in a passion,
He gied his face a horrid bashin,
His cravate Donald squeesed sae tight,
That faith he strangled him inaist outright.
B y this means Donald manned to ma k
�10
His hands secure ahirit his back,
Syne on the horse he put the billy,
His feet he tied beneath his belly;
T h e dog, whom Donald mourned full sore,
A frightfu' sight of reeking gore,
He on ahint the fellow placed
Across the hurdies of the beast.
Syne, Donald's triumph to evince,
He mounts his horse proud as a princesBrandished the sword, and dared the blade
T o move his hands, feet, tongue, or head;
That if be did, he warned him now
Up to the hilt he'd run him through,
Sae on th e road they moved alang,
And Donald crooned a Highland,sang;
They reache'd the town, folks were surprised
The rober soon was recognized;
The magistrates they brawly kent him,
For mair nor ance he'd been foment them.
For mony years his deeds of horror
Had kept baith far and near in terror,
For whilk, whae'er wad apprehend him.
And to the nearest prison send him.
W ad he entitled to regard,
And twenty guineas of reward,
�u
Whilk Donald got in word and deed,
With honours heaped upon hig head.
The rober, too got his reward— s
I
Stern Justice at him awfu' stared;
Guilt and remorse his bosom stung,
Hence he was tried, condemned, and hung,
Rauld Donald soon arrived at hame,
Paid aff his laird and ilka claim ;
Mair o' him y e ' d tire to hear me tell,
But he was soon a laird himsel,
Y e t ne'er forgot the awfu' shock,
When his left hand lay on the block.

Twas away down old Virginny,
A nigger used to dwell,
She was a handsome yaller girl,
Dis darkle knew her well.
O such a lubly creature
As you shall plainly see,
Much better than a Wenus,
x\nd bery much like me.
0, take* your time Miss Lucy,
Lublv Lucy Long,
Roc the cradle, Lucy,
While I sing you anoder song.
Talk about your Taglioni,
And say she jumps so high,
Miss Lucy lept a fiye-barr'd gate,
Made all de Niggas fly;
And when eber Lucy trabels
She always leave de mark
Ob her footsteps in de grable,
Y o u can see dem in de dark.—Oh, &cv
Miss Lucy she is handsome,
All ober she is chaste
Just five yards round de shoulders
And six yards round de waist;
�13
Oh, 1 does like ^at'iiigg^ wellf
I tink she does like mo,
And if I had her by my side,
How happy I should be ;
I like de white one an dp black,
And ebery one ob de rest,
I like dat one dat does like me,
But I like myself de best.—Oh, etc;,

BARLOW
I was born in Alabama,
My massa name was Deal,
He used to own a yaier gal,
Her name was Lucy Neal,
My massa he did iseli me,
Because he thought I'd steal,
Which caused a separation,
Ob myself and Lucy Neal.
Oh ! poor Lucy Neal
Oh ! poor Lucy iNeal;
If I had her by my side,
Ho\? happy I should feel.
One night the nigger gave a ball
Miss Lucy danced a reel
But none was dare dat could compare;
W i d my sweet. Lucy Neal
She used to go out wid us7
T o pluck cotton in de fief
And dcre is where I fell in lub'
Wid my sweet Lucy Neal
�14
Oh poor L a c y Neal'&c.
One day I got a letter
And jet black was the seal;
It was cle'nouncment ob de death
Ob my poor Lucy Neal.
Oh my poor Lucy Neal, &c.
Dey bore her from my bosom,
But de wound dey cannot heal;
And my heart, my heart is breaking.
For I lub'd sweet L u c y Neal.
Oh, yes, when I am dying,
And dark visions round me steal,
De last low murmur ob dis life
Shall be sweet Lucy Neal.
Oh, poor Lucy Neal, &c.
OLD DAN
TUCKER.
I cum to town de oder night,
I heard a noise and seed a sight *
De folks were all running roun,
Crying ole Dan Tucker's come to town.
Den get out ob de way,
G et out ob de way,
Get out ob de way ole Dan Tucker,
You're too late to come to supper.
W e are de boys from ole Virginni,
And take de shine from Paganiiini,
W i d our ole banjo and jaw-bone,
V e drive all oder music home.
He war one ob de real ole stock,
And wid his head cpuld split a hose block *
�15
For de wool dat he shave off his head
W ould make a bery good feather bed ;
White folk treat de nigger well
If dey do not cut too great a swell,
And talk about amalgamation,
Disgustin' ting to ebcry nation.
A n Indian hoosier came to town.
He swalled a molasses hogshead down.
The hoops flew off and de hogshead bust
A n'he went up in a thunder gust.
Tucker was a nice ole man,
He used to ride 011 a steam engine;
One night he laid across de track,
A n de locomotive came and broke hisback
T H E OLD
JAWBONE.
De jawbone hung ober log-hut fire—
Jawbone de ting I most admire,
And when at night my work am done
Jawbone an I can hab some fun.
Dance jowbone wid your turkey too,
Neber mind my looking at you.
I neber make dat jawbone swing,
But all de bells begin to ring,
But if I cut a caper or two,
Jawbone always dances too.
Dance, etc.
Jawbone and Joe will neber part,
Jawbone al ways in my heart;
For my old fader gabe it me,
As a gen wine jawbone legacy,
»
Dance, etc.
�i6
Dace when de flame was burning bright
O, what a sight I seed that n i g h t —
I fancy the jaw-bone a lubly wraith
W i d de face ob my Dinnah underneath.
Dance, &c.
O, how my heart went pit a pee,
I blushed at her she blushed at me ;
But de faut was hers I'm certain sure,
For I know she lub'd dat N i g next doo^

SOW.
Quo' Nell, ray wife, the itlier clay,
Provisions they are cheap, man ;
A n d for the trifle it wid tak',
A sow we weei miclit keep, man,
Indeed, says i, my dearest Nell,
I've just been thinking sae mysel',
And since we've on the notion fell,
I'll just gang down to Matiie Broon
This afternoon aud very soon
Bring hame yin in a rape man.
Sae in my pouch I put the rape
And down to Matties went man,
Resolved to hae a gude yin wault,
Reflections to prevent man.
A s soon's as I enterd Mattie's door,
She blythely met me on the floor,
And kindly questioned speerta score,
Aboot mysel, the barns and Nell,
Nor can I tell what cracks befei,
Ere my errent it wa kent man.
But when auld stories a' were telt,
And aiblins something new man,
I faun 'twas time that I should* mak'
Some mention o'the sow man.
When I my errant did unfauld,
I faun the young anes a' were sauld,
But gin 1 liked to tak the auld,
W i ' a' her heart she'd send her cart,
She weel conld spare't, I thanked her for't,
But out the rape I drew, man.
�IS
Sae round dame grumphy's hindsome ;eg
The rape I soon did tie, man,
And wi' supple birken twig,
I drave her out o' the sty man ;
W i ' Mat tie straught 1 bade gu<ie e'en, .
And briskly to the road we tane •
Bnt scarcely fifty yards we'd gaoe,
When madam sow impatient grew,
^nd soon I trow, made me to rue,
That her I chanced to buy, man.
For being o< the female breed,
She proved a stubborn jade, man ;
W e r e I to flee the brute alive,
She'd aye bae her ain road, man.
J wanted east, but she'd be wast,
O r any way she liked best,
A n d did my brains sae fairly pest;
Till in my wraith * wi' mony an aith,
1 vowed her skaith, and kicked her bait I ,
A n d gart her squeak aloud man.
But though pig's flesh it never mair
Should be my lot to pree, man ;
I vow and swear an it her sow
Will ne'er be bought by me, man.
A s laug's there heering in Lochfine,
I'll ne'er want*kitchen when I dine,
And henceforth bid adieu to swine •
O ' nae sic gear the price I'll speer,
Nor stan' the sneer and taunting jeer.
That I frae neeboius dree.man.

OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT,

��HISTORY OF THE BIBLE,
THE
CREATION.'
IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And
the earth was without form, and void ; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep; and the -Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light, and there
Was light.
THE
DIVISION
OF T H E
WATERS.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in tlie midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God
made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament ; and it was so.
THE
CREATURES
NAMED—MAN
AND
WOMAN
FORMED.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life ; and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden, and
�4
there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the
ground the Lord formed every beast of the field, and every
fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam, to see what he
would call them : and whatsoever Adam called every living
creature, that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave
names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every
beast of the field. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to
fall upon Adam; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up tht
flesh instead thereof. And the rib which the Lord God had
taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the
man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and
flesh of ray flesh ; she shall be called woman, because she was
taken out of man. And they were both naked, the man and
his wife, and were not ashamed.
THE
SERPENT'S T E M P T A T I O N — F A L L
OF OUR FIRST
PARENTS.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden ? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden : but of the fruit of the
tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. And
when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that
it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat; and gave
also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
ADAM AND EVE
DRIVEN OUT
OF P A R A D I S E .
And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that
thou hast done ? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me,
and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Upon
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of
thy life. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; and in sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children. To Adam he said, Cursed is the ground for
thy sake, in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
CAIN A N D
ABEL.
Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the
ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain
Brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
�5
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of
the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to
his offering. But unto Cain and to his offering he had not
respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
CAIN'S
PUNISHMENT.
The Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother ? And
he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper? And he
said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood
crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed
from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
brother's blood from thy hand; when thou tillest the ground,
it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength ; a fugitive
and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said
unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the
earth ; and from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass,
that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
THE
ARK
AND
FLOOD.
God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth.
And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. And God said,
Make thee an ark of gopher-wood.—Of every living thing of all
flesh; two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep
them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. The
�waters of
that moved upon the earth.

THE
ARK
AND
FLOOD
dEASES-^-NOAH GOES OtJT OF THE
SACRIFICES J GOD'S PROMISE TO HIM.
The waters returned from off the earth.—And the ark rested
upon the mountains of Ararat. And Noah went forth, and his
sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him. Every beast,
every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth
upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord ; and took of every
clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings
r
on the altar.
GOD RENEWS HIS COVENANT WITH N O A H — F O R B I D S
THE RAINBOW.
MURDER.
Arid God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear
of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the
earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth
upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your
hand are they delivered. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man
shall his blood be shed : for in the image of God made he man.
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make
between me and you and every living creature that is with you,
for perpetual generations : I do set my bow in the cloud, and
it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

TOWER
OF B A B E L — C O N F U S I O N
OF
LANGUAGES.
The whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose
top may reach unto heaven ; and let us make us a name, lest
we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And
the Lord came down to see the city and the .tower, which the
children of men builded. And the Lord said, Go to, let us go
down and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth : and they
left off to build the city.
THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM—LOT IS PRESERVED.
The men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-inlaw, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast
in the city, bring them out of this place: for we will destroy
this place,* because the cry of them is waxen great before the
face of the Lord, and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. And
when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying,
Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters, lest thou be consumed. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire out of heaven. And he overthrew those
cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities,
and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked
back from behind him • and she became a pillar of salt.
ABRAHAM COMMANDED TO OFFER ISAAC—AN ANGEL STAYS HIS HAND.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife
�8
to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto Abra*
ham out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he
said, here am I. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the
lad, neither do thou any thing unto him ; for now I know that
thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine
only son, from me.
THE FINDING OF MOSES.
When his mother could no longer hide him, she took for him
an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch,
and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the
river's brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would
be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to
wash herself at the river ; and her maidens walked along by the
river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she
sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she
saw the child ; and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrew's children.
T H E ISRAELITES PASS THE RED SEA ON DRY G R O U N D — A R E PURSUED EY THE E G Y P T I A N S , WHO ARE DROWNED.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak to the Israelites, that
they go forward; and lift thou thy rod, and stretch thy hand
over the red sea, to divide it, and the children of Israel shall go
over on dry land. And the Lord made the sea to go back by a
strong east wind, and the waters were divided, so that the children of Israel went over on dry ground,—the waters being a
wall to them on the right hand and on the left. And the
Egyptians pursued them into the midst of the sea. In the
mommg-wa.ch, the Lord troubled the host of the Egyptians,
�9
and took off their chariot-wheels; and they said, Let us flee
from the face of Israel, for the Lord fighteth for them. Then
the Lord said to Moses, Stretch now thy hand over the sea, that
the waters may come again; and as the morning appeared,
the sea returned, and covered the chariots and all the host of
Pharaoh: there remained not one of them. Thus the Lord
saved Israel; and they saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore ;
and they feared the Lord and his servant Moses.
MOSES SMITETII THE ROCK.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and
take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith
thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. Behold, I
will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb ; and thou
shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that
the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the
elders of Israel.
MOSES RECEIVETH THE TABLES.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
like unto the first; and I will write upon these tables the words
that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. And he
hewed two tables of stone like unto the first: and Moses rose up
early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as the Lord
had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of
stone.
THE WALLS OF JERICHO F A L L — T H E CITY TAKEN.
The people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets :
and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the
�trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the
wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city,
every man straight before him, and they took the city, and
they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man. and
woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the
edge of the sword.
SAMSON'S DEATH.
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which
the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with
his right hand, and of the other with his left. And Samson
said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself
with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon
all the people that were within.
DAVID KILLS GOLIATH—THE PHILISTINES ROUTED.
David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a
stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him ; but there was no
sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran, and stood
upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the
sheath thereof, and slew Goliath, and cut off liis head therewith.
And when $xe Philistines saw their champion was dead, they
fled.
ABSALOM CAUGHT UP IN THE OAK.
And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under tne
thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the
oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth;
and the mule that was under him went away.
�11
TIIE TEMPLE BUILT.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year
after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt,
in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, that he began to build
the house of the Lord. And the word of the Lord came to
Solomon, saying, Concerning this house which thou art building; If thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, then will I perform
the promise made to David thy father—that I will dwell with
thee, and not forsake thee, So Solomon built the house,
and finished it according to the plan which God himself had
given to Dayid.
ELIJAH DIVIDES JORDAN.
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry, I pray thee, here, for
the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they
two went . on. And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went,
and stood to view afar 01T; and they two stood by Jordan. And
Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the
waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they
two went over on dry ground.
E L I J A H IS C A R R I E D TO H E A Y E N IN A CHARIOT O F F I R E .
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
behold there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and
parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind
into heaven,
�12
SATAN A F F L I C T S J O B — H I S WIFE R E V I L E S HIM.
Satan smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto
his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal;
and he sat down among the ashes. Then said his wife unto
him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish
women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of
God, and shall we not receive evil ?
B E L S H A Z Z A R ' S FEAST.
The king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, drank
wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron,
of wood, and of stone. In the same hour came forth fingers of a
man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the
plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the
part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's countenance was
changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and he said, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation
thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold
about his neck, and shall be the third ruler of the kingdom.
Then was Daniel brought in, and said, This is the interpretation. God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou
art weighed in the balances and art found wanting; thy kingdom
is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. In that night
was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
D A N I E L CAST INTO THE DEN OF LIONS.
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My
God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that
they have not hurt me : forasmuch as before him innocence was
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that
they should take Daniel up out of the den.
JONAH COMMANDED TO GO TO N I N E V E H — H E F L E E S FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE L O R D — I S SWALLOWED B Y A W H A L E .
The word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai,
saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against
i t ; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose
up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went
down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish : so he
paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them
unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. Now the Lord
had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah

was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. And
the Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon
the dry land. And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the
second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city,
and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah
arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the
Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days'
journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall
be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and
proclaimed a fast, and put*on sackcloth, from the greatest of
them even to the least of them. And God saw their works,
that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the
evil that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did
it not.
THE SALUTATION.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary; for thou hast
found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in
thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest;
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father
David.
THE GENEALOGY OF CHRIST FROM ABRAHAM TO JOSEPH.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat
Jacob, and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren. And Jacob
begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus
who is called CHRIST. SO all the generations from Abraham
to David, are fourteen generations; and frem David until the
carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from
the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST
JOSEPH SATISFIED BY AN ANGEL, WHO
INTERPRETS THE NAME OF CHRIST.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise; when, as
his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then
Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make
her a public example, was minded to put her away privily; but
while he thought 011 these things, behold the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife; for that
�u
which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall
bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name J E S U S : for he
shall save his people from their sins.
WISE MEN INQUIRE AFTER CIIRIST.
Behold there came wise mien from the east to Jerusalem,
saying, Where is he that is born king of the Jews? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When
they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And
when they were come into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell down and worshipped
him; and when they had opened their treasures, they presented
unto him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And being
warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,
they departed into their own country another way. Then
Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
was exceeding wroth; and sent forth, and slew all the children
that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two
years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama there was
a voice heard, lamentation and weeping, and great mourning ;
Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted,
because they are not.
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS.
Now, when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened.
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, like a dove
upon him ; and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou
art my beloved Son ; in thee I am well pleased.
JESUS TEMPTED EY THE DEVIL.
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit, into the wilderness, to
be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days
and forty nights, he was afterwards an hungered. And when
the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the S N of GOD,
O
command that these stones be made bread. But he answered
and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD.
S I M O N P E T E R , A N D R E W , J A M E S , A N D J O H N , C A L L E D TO B E
DISCIPLES.
And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren;
Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into
�15
the sea: for they were fishers. And he said unto them, Follow
me, and I will make you fishers of men. -And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from
thence he saw other two brethren. And they immediately left
the ship and their father, and followed him.
CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for -theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for
they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they
shall be called the children of God.
BLESSING- ON SUCH AS SUFFER IN THE CAUSE OF RELIGION.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men
shall revile you, and persecute you; and shall say all manner of
evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so persecuted
they the prophets which were before you.
BROTHERLY LOYE AND FORGIVENESS ENJOINED AND
DIRECTED.
If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath aught against thee ; leave there thy gift
before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy
brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
THE STRAIT AND NARROW, WITH TIIE BROAD A N D W I D E
WAY.
Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, ar.d many there
be that go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is
the way, which leadeth unto life ; and few there be that
find it.
CHRIST CLEANSETH THE LEPER.
There came a leper and worshipped him, saying, LORD, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And
immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto
�16
him, See thou tell no man, but go thy way, show thyself to the
priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony
unto them.
THE CENTURION'S S E R V A N T H E A L E D O F T H E P A L S Y .
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came
unto him a centurion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my
servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The
centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my
servant shall be healed. And Jesus said unto the centurion,
Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.
And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
THE WIDOW'S SON RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
When he came nigh to the gate of the city of Nain, behold
there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother;
and she was a widow; and much people of the city were with
her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,
and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the
bier; and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young
man, I say unto thee, arise. And he that was dead sat up,
and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
JAJRUS'S DAUGHTER R A I S E D T O L I F E .
And there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and lay thy
hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose and followed him, ancl so did his disciples. And when Jesus came
into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people
making a noise, he said unto them, Give place; for the maid
is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
by the hand, and the maid arose.
T H E W O M A N W I T H THE I S S U E OF B L O O D H E A L E D .
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had
spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of
any, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment;
for, she said within herself, if I may but touch his garment, I
shall be whole. And Jesus turned about, and when he saw her,
he said, Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made
thee whole, go in peace. And the woman was made whole from
�IT
SIGHT R E S T O R E D TO TWO B L I N D MEN.
And two blind men followed him crying, Thou Son of David,
have mercy 011 us. And when he was come into the house, the
blind men came to him; and Jesus saith unto them, Believe
ye that I am able to do this ? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith
be it unto you. And their eyes were opened.
F I V E THOUSAND F E D .
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not
depart, give ye them to eat. And they said unto him, we
have here but five loaves and two fishes. He said, Bring them
hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down
on the grass, and took the five loaves and the two fishes, and,
looking up to heaven, he blessed and brake, and gave the loaves
to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they
did all eat and were filled, and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full.
F O U R THOUSAND F E D .
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
three days, and have nothing to eat; and I will not send them
away fasting, lest they faint on the way. And his disciples
say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the
wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith
unto them, How many loaves have ye ? And they said, Seven,
and a few little fishes. And he commanded the multitude to
sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves and the
fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all
eat, and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that
was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were four
thousand men, besides women and children.
A N U N C L E A N SPIRIT CAST OUT.
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean
spirit; and he cried out, saying, Let us alone ; what have we
to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to
destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out
�18
of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried
with a loud voice, he came out of him.
v
A WOMAN OF EIGHTEEN Y E A R S ' INFIRMITY CURED.
And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no
wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her,
to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. And he laid his hands on her; and immediately
she was made straight, and glorified God.
TEN L E P E R S CLEANSED.
And as lie entered into a certain yillage, there met him ten
men that were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up
their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, haye mercy on us. And

the priests. And it came to pass that as they went, they were
cleansed.
CHRIST R E B U K E S THE TEMPEST.
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the waves : but he was asleep.
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye
fearful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
ST. MATTHEW C A L L E D TO THE APOSTLESHIP.
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom : and he saith unto
him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
THE MISSION OF THE T W E L V E APOSTLES J TO TEACH AND TO
DO MIRACLES.
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the
Samaritans enter ye not: but go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom
of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raiso
the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.
CHRIST, W A L K I N G ON THE S E A , SAVES ST. PETER. .

on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind
�19
boisterous, lie was afraid : and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his
hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt t
LAZARUS RAISED FROM THE GRAVE TO LIFE.
Jesus said unto them, Take away the stone. Then they
took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee
that thou hast heard me. And I know that thou hearest me
always : but because of the people who stand by I said it, that
they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he had
thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
And he that was dead came forth.

eth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them : and his face did shine as the sun, and his
raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared
unto them Moses and Elias, talking with him.
THE PASSOVER EATEN,
AND THE BETRAYER
FORETOLD.
When the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And
as they did eat, he said, . Verily I say unto you, That ono of
you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and
began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I ? And
he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the
dish, the same shall betray me.
J U D A S B E T R A Y S CHRIST TO T H E
PRIESTS.
Judas that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed
him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou
come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest, and smote off his ear.
JESUS IS ACCUSED BEFORE
PILATE.
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this
�20
fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to
Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. And Pilate
asked him, saying, Art tliou the King of the Jews ? And he
answered him and said, Thou sayest it. Then said Pilate to
the chief priests, and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
No, nor yet Herod : for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
worthy of death is done by him. But they cried, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him. And Pilate gave sentence, that it
should be as they required.
CHRIST

BE CRUCIFIED ON MOUNT
CALVARY.
As they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the
cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed
him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them;
said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for
yourselves, and for your children.
THE
CRUCIFIXION.
When they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
there they crucified him, and the malefactors ; one on the right
hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And the sun was
darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus,
he gave up the ghost.

Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
(the same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;)
he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down, and
wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn
in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
T H E RESURRECTION

JESUS W A L K E T H A N D DISCOURSETH WITH TWO DISCIPLES.
Two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus,
which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs, And they
talked together of all these things which had happened. And
it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But
their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
HE A P P E A R S A G A I N TO T H E E L E V E N , A N D CONVINCES T H E M .
Jesus saith, Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself : handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones,
as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he showed
them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not
for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any
meat ? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.
HE BLESSES HIS DISCIPLES AND ASCENDS INTO
HEAVEN.
He led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blesssed
them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy : And were continually in the temple, praising and
blessing God.
THE FEAST OF PENTECOST AND DESCENT OF THE HOLY GHOST.
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled
all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues, like as of fire, and it sat upon each
of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.
THE CONVERSION OF SAUL.
As he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly
there shined round about him a light from heaven : and he fell
to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
�22
And the* Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is
hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he, trembling
and astonished, said, Lord, \yhat wilt thou have me to do ? And
the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall
be told thee what thou must do.
VISION OF . A N A N I A S — I I E RESTORES SAUL TO SIGHT AND
BAPTIZES HIM.
And Were was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias ; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And^ he
said, Behold, I am here, Lord. And the Lord said unto him,
Arise and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire
in the house of Judas for ones called Saul of Tarsus ; for, behold, he prayeth. And Ananias went his way, and entered
into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother
Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the
way as thou earnest, hath sent me, that thou miglitest receive
thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately
there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received
sight forthwith, and aroseand was baptized.
SAUL PREACHES CHRIST IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF D A M A S C U S —
HE E S C A P E S A PLOT B Y BEING L E T DOWN OVER THE
CITY W A L L IN A B A S K E T .
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that
he is the Son of God. But all that heard him were amazed,
and said, Is not this he that destroyed them which called on
this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that
he might bring them bound unto the Chief priests? But Saul
increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which
dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. And
after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to
kill him; but their lying in wait was known of Saul: and they
watched the gates day and night to kill him. Then the disciples took him by niglit, and let him down by the wall in a
basket.
SAUL (ALSO C A L L E D
P A U L , ) CURES A CRIPPLE AT
LYSTRA.
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
The same heard Paul speak; who stedfastly beholding him,
and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud
voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
�23
P A U L A N D SILAS SCOURGED A N D
IMPRISONED—.CONVERSION
OF THE J A I L E R A N D HIS HOUSE.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast
them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely: who
hating received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight,
Paul and Silas prayed and sung praises unto God; and the
prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and
immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's hands
were loosed. Then the jailer came trembling, and fell down
before Paul and Silas, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And he was baptized, he
and all his straightway, and rejoiced, believing in God with all
his house.
EUTYCHUS P A L L I N G DOWN D E A D ,
IS R A I S E D TO
LIFE.
And there sat in a window of the upper chamber where they
were gathered together, a young man named Eutychus, who
had fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he
sank down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft and
was taken up dead. And Paul went down and fell on him, and
embracing him, said. Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in
him. And they brought the young man alive, and were not a
little comforted.
PAUL BEFORE
FELIX.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife
Brasilia, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him
concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come, Felix trembled,
and answered, Go thy way for this time ; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
P U B L I U S ' S F A T H E R A N D OTHERS
CURED.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
fever, and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and
prayed, and laid his hands on him; and healed him. So when
this was done, others also, which had disease^ in the island
came, and were healed.
CHRIST'S SECOND
COMING.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heayen with a shout,
�24
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God :
and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive
and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and so shall we ever be
with the Lord. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the
earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be burnt up.
G E N E R A L RESURRECTION A N D
JUDGMENT.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God : and
the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is
the book of life ; and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books according to their words. And
whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire.
A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW
EARTH.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, and there was no
more sin. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven. And I heard a great voice,
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will
dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their God.
THOSE ADMITTED INTO THE CELESTIAL CITY.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city.
A W F U L PUNISHMENT OF THOSE WHO A D D TO, OR DIMINISH
THE R E V E L A T I O N O F G O D .
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which
are written in this book.

IT is to be observed, that the Scripture
makes mention of three Judases; the
first in Judas Maccabeus, the second Judas the son of Joseph, the reputed father
of our Lord ; and third, Judas Iscariot,
the son of a tanner, living in repute at
Joppa, a sea-port town near Jerusalem.
This Judas who betrayed our Lord, was
his mother's first child, who dreamed
that the child in her womb would prove
both a thief and a murderer, and bring
her and hi r generation to shame & disgrace : which so terrified her, that she
was like to go distracted ; but her husband strove to pacify her, bidding her
leave it to G o d the wise disposer of all
things who may take it away in its in-
�4
fancy or endue it with more grace than
ever to be guilty of such dishonourable
actions.—This somewhat quieted her,
and she was soon after delivered of a
lovely male child ; but under his left
breast was the following curious marks,
viz a cross, a gallows, two daggers, and
several pieces of money : this likewise
terrified his mother, who concealed it
from her husband, determining, as soon
as she was able, to go to a magician anci
know the signification of these surprising marks. The child being circumcised, and she purified, according to the
old Jewish custom* she dressed herself
in disguise, put a veil on her face, and
taking with her a kinswoman, went to
the magician's, and being introduced
to him, she i elated her dream, her fears
and the marks upon her son, desiring
the interpretation of the dream, and
the signification of the marks.
The magician replied, 1 am no interpreter of dreams, neither do I justly
know the signification of marks, & the
�5
whofe of your story appears as strange
to me, as it can be amazing to you ; but
if you can tell me when the child was
born, I will calculate its nativity, add
see what it portends. He then called
for pen, ink, & paper, & sitting down,
calculated his nativity; & when he had
finished it, he shook his head, and his
countenance waxed pale; which being
perceived by Judas's mother, she said
unto him, do not deceive me, but tell
me true, hide nothing from me, whether
it be good or evil.—Then, said the magician, to your sorrow I have seen the
rules of the planet that reigned predominant at your son's birth, that he would
prove a thief and a murdeier, & what
is worse, he will, for lucre, betray the
Lord of Life ; for which act he will afterwards despair of mercy, lay violent
hands on himself, and come to a shameful end.—These words pierc'd the mother's heart, who, wringing her hands,
wished she had never been born, rather
than to have been the mother of such an
�6
unhappy child ; and asked the magician
what she could do to prevent the bringing of shame of disgrace on her family?
He told her he knew no way of prevention, but by laying violent hands on it,
which might be now easily done in its
infancy,—in a manner so as not to be
discovered.—To this she replied, that
she would not for ten thousand worlds
commit such an act of violence on her
son ; as if her husband had the least suspicion of it, he was so fond of Judas,
that he would never be reconciled to her
again ; yet for the sake of her family,
she would by some means or other prevent it without destroying it; and then
told the magician, if she had a small
boat made like a shell,with a cover to
go down close that no water might get
in, and a little vent to let in air at top,
and room in it to lie soft and easy, she
might without danger send him down
the river Jordan, and so commit him
wholly to the protection of Providence,
which might conduct him to some dis-
�7
tan t shore,irito thehands of sometender
persons, and thereby pieserve his life;
& if he afterwards commits those base
actions the shame will fall on his own
head, as no one will know from whom
he is descended. The magician highly
commended her for her invention, and
said he would procure such a boat for
her ; and she promising him a good reward for his assistance, returned home.
After she was gone, the magician sent
for one Rot, a very cunning artist, a
joiner, to trade, who undertook to make
the boat, drawing out with his pencil,
the form of it, carried it home with him,
wrought upon it in private, & having
soon finished it, brought it to the magician's house, who paid him largely for
it, & sent a servant to the house of Simon, who told Judas's mother, that the
matter which his master & she spoke of
was now finished. She understanding
him, went next morning to the magician's house, viewed the boit, & liked it
well, saying it was very convenient for
�8
the end intended, but seeffi'd perplexed
how she should do it privately* & keep
it from discovery as death was the consequence thereof. Her kinswoman begged her to leave that to her, and all
should be safe enough; for we will feign
the child sick for a day or two, in the
meantime we will make some inquiry in
the city for the dead body of some poor
male child which we will buy of its parents, and have it privately brought to
our house lo be buried ; in the meantime we will dispatch your son to sea,
and make him believe the other child
to be his, and that he died during his
absence ; so having it buried, the matter can never be brought to light.
The mother liked the contrivance, &
going home with a promise of a great
reward, and her friendship for life, she
swore her servants to secrecy, & then,
said she, we must act in this manner.
When your master comes home at night,
I shall put on verv dejected looks, and
when he asks the cause, I shall tell him
�9
that Judas is not well, and that I am apprehensive of his death, which you must
all testify & confirm. She accordingly
put this scheme into practice at night,
when her husband did all he could to
comfort her, telling her that they were
young, they mi^ht be parents of many
children; and going- up stairs to see the
child, the-maid then pinched its neck
till it was black in the face, and thinking it in convulsions, gave it over to
death. As soon as he was gone out in
the morning, the mother & kinswoman
took the child & went to the magician's
house, in order to put the child to sea.
They put on him many warm and rich
garments, with an upper coat of oil,
that no water might penetrate i t ; and
the magician, 011 a piece of parchment,
wrote the following words :
My Name is JUDAS.
which his mother sewed round his neek
and put him into the boat, and shut
�I •
v
'
10
down the cover. At parting with the
child the mother was almost distracted,
wringing her hands and weeping much,
but being comforted by the magician &
her kinswoman she was at last pacified,
& desired to go home, as she could not
bear to see her child put into the water,
so she and her kinswoman departed
home. The magician then took the boat
& cari ied it down to his own garden, at
the foot of which ran the river Jordan,
& putting it in where a strong* stream
ran, it was soon carried out of sight.
The mother when she got home fainted away, but was revived by being inforiii'd by her maid-servant, that during
her absence they had almost brought the
matter to a close, having found a neighhour's male child, who had died the day
before, and was just of the same age as
Judas, for whose body they had given
the parents a small sum of money, and
paid the expense of burying a coffin full
of bones, by way of a blind ; and the
�11
only thing to be done was to deceive
her husband, and get this child buried
under the sanction of Judas's body.
The father came home at night, and
finding his wife in tears, soon guessed
the dismal cause ; and inquiring of the
servants, they with dissembled grief
told him, that the child died in the
morning soon after his departure. The
man was much affected with the loss of
his child, and thinking to prevent his
wife's grief by the sight of the body he
had it removed to a kinsman's house,
and in a day or two interred it from
thence, believing it to be his son.
By this time Providence had conducted
Judas, alive & well, upon the coast of
of Iscariot, a kingdom in Palastine,
where Pheophilus the king often used
to recreate himself, in beholding the
ships pass and repass at sea. It happened that the very day that Judas was
cast on the coast, the king and his nobles came on that diversion, & as they
were standing on the top of the rock,
�looking into the sea, the king espied a
little boat floating upon the water, and
thinking it to be a chest of some wrecked ship, he ordered a servant to put out
a boat and fetch it; which being done,
and brought to the king, lie ordered it
to be broke open; when to their great
surprise, they found a lovely babe* who
look,d up, and smiled in the king's
face. Then said the king to the child,
WELCOME AS MY OWN C H I L D ;
and expressed much joy in being providentially sent to preserve the babe's
life, and taking it up in his arms, said,
if thou wert a child begat by me, I
could not esteem or value thee more.
Then he espied about its neck the aforementioned parchment, viz :
My Name is JUDAS.
Well, said the king, as thy name is Judas, I will now double name thee, and
then called him Judas Iscariot, because
he found him near the coast of that
�IS
name. He was then brought to court,
treated as the king's own child, & at a
proper age educated well, and at last
became a man of learning and parts,
and behaved himself so wisely, that the
king made him his principle steward.
Judas being arrived at this rank, still
coveted greater, and remembering the
queen one day said, that if the prince,
her son died, Judas should be her beir,
he therefore set about contriving to kill
him, accordingly professed great love
and friendship for him ; and one day
being walking- together, Judas took
occasion to quarrel with the prince,
and maliciously slew him, thinking all
would go well with him if he was dead.
Behold the servant which the king
Long nourish'd in his breast,
Grown v arm, strikes forth his baneful
sting,
And robb'd him of his rest.
�14
Though none accused him of the murder, yet his conscience so stung* him,
that he soon quitted the kingdom, leaving all his pomp and finery behind him,
and changing his name, look upon him
the mean employ of a servant, wandering about from place to place, until at
length he arrived at Joppa, the place of
his nativity; here he soon got a place in
a nobleman's family, where he behaved
so well as to gain the esteem of his lord
and lady, and all that knew him. One
day it happened, that as his lady was
walking abroad big with child, she longed for some fruit, which she saw in Judas's father's garden, bidding him go &
buy her some. He took the money, but
resolved to steal the fruit; and going
to the garden, broke down the fences,
which as he was doing his father came
out and seized him for the robbery, &
Judas, to keep himself from the hand
of justice, murdered his father, and
immediately escaped to Theba, a city
about seventy-six leagues distance.
Ifere he continue J about four years,
�15
in which time the noise of the murder
being blown over, he retnrned back
again, and got a good place in a nobleman's family, where he lived sometime,
till his own mother accidentally seeing
him fell in love with and married him.
About five years after they had been
married, one morning in bed Judas'*
shirt bosom lay open, when she saw
under his left breast the marks he was
born with ; upon which she waked him
in an agony, and told him the story
of his birth, and the part she had acted
therein. Judas heard this with wonder
and astonishment, and on his part confessed to her the many crimes he had
been guilty o f ; after which she desired
him to depart from her, and seek mercy of God in another country ; protesting she would never be carnally
known to him any more.
Judas full of grief & remorse of conscience, left Joppa and wandered about
like a pilgrim, till he heard of a mighty
prophet called Jesus of Nazareth,
�16
in the land of Judea, who wrought
many miracles, and wondeiful works;
to him he went, and liking his doctrine
and seeing his miracles, he begged of
our Lord to be admitted one of his followers: making him one of his disciples,
and also his treasurer. Notwithstanding all this Judas could not forget his
covetousness, for when Mary Magdalen brought a box of costly ointment,
to annoint our dear Lord's feet, at the
house of Simon the Leper, Judas was
offended thereat, because the value
thereof was not put into his bag. But
our Lord knowing his covetous and
wicked heart, sharply rebuked him ; at
which he was so enraged, that he in
revenge premeditated, and put into
execution, the worst action of all his
life, and going to the chief priests and
elders, he said unto them, what will
you give me, and I will betray him
they call Jesus into your hands ? And
they agreed with him for thirty pieces
of silver,
�17
The love of money is a rock
Which causes care and trouble,
And he that hasteth to be rich,
He makes his sorrows double.
Money's a most alluring bate,
Conducive unto evil,
For this, base Judas sold his God,
Himself unto the devil.
When ourLord was instituting his last
snpper, he said unto his disciples, I have
chosen you twelve, but one of you is a
devil. And again, Verily I say unto ye,
one of ye this night shall betray me, &
he it is unto whomsoever I shall give a
sop: then giving a sop unto Judas, he
said unto him what thou dost do quickly. With the sop the devil entered into
Judas, and he went out from amongst
them.—Judas then went to the chief
priests, & received the thirty pieces of
silver ; so taking with him an armed
band, telling them that whomsoever he
should kiss, the same was he, hold him
�18
fast, came back to where Jesus was,
and meeting him in the Garden of
Gethsemane, he went up to him saying,
Hail, Master, and kissed him. Then
they laid hands on the Lord, and bound
hitu as a thief and a murderer, and led
him away to the high Priest and Eldei
who asked him many question3 ; to
which our Lord gave them no answer,
•but stood like a lamb dumb before his
shearers. Nevertheless, the whole assembly, though they found nothing
worthy of death in him, one by one
passed the following sentences on him :

THE
Wife of Beitk
With a description of her
JOURNEY TO HEAVEN.
FALKIRK
PRINTED F R THE BOOKSELLERS.
O
�THE
i
W I F E
OF
B E I T H t
In Beith once dwelt a worthy wife,
Of whom brave Chaucer mention makes
She lived alicentiot s life,
And namely in venereal acts ;
Bnt death did come for all her cracks,
When years were spent and days outdriven,
Then suddenly she sickness takes,
Deceast forthwith and went to heaven.
But as she went upen the way.
There followed 1 er a certain guide ;
And kindly to her did say,
Where mean you dame for to abide ?
I know you are the Wife of Beith,
And would not then that you go wrong
For I'm your friend, and will not loath
That you i»o thro 4 this narrow throng,
This way is broader,
with me.
And very pleasant is the way ;
I'll bring thee where you would be,
Go with me friend say me not nay.
She looked on him. then did speer,
I pray you sir, what is your name ?
Show me the way how came you here?
T o tell it to me is no shame.
�s
Is that a favour 'bout your neck ?
And what is that upon your side ?
Is it a bag or silvei sack ?
What are you then where do you bide ?
I was a servant unto Christ,
And Judas likewise is my name.
I knew you by your colours first.
Forsooth indeed you are to blame;
Your master did you not betray ?
And hang yourself when ye had done ?
Where'er you bide I will not stay ;
Go then yo'i knave let me alone.
Whatever I be I'll be your gtiidf*,
Because yo i know not well the way j
Will you at once in me confide,
I'll do rill friendship that 1 may.
What would you me ?
Where do you dwell,
I have nought will go with t h e e ;
I fear it is some lower cell,
I pray thee therefore let me be.
This is a stormy night and cold,
III bring you to a warmer inn ;
Will you g o forward and be bold,
And mend your pace till ye win in.
I fear your inn will be too warm,
For too much hotness is not b e s t ;
Such hotness there may do me harm,
And keep me that I do not r e s t ;
I know your way it is to hell.
For you are not one of the eleven ;
�4
Go haste you then unto your cell,
My way is only unto heaven.
That way is by the gates of hell,
I f you intend there for to go,
Go dame I will not you compel,
Bnt I with you will go also.
Then down they went a right steep
hill,
Where Smbke and darkness did abound
And pitch and sulphur burned still,
With yells and cries hills did resound,
T h e fiend himself cime to the gate,
And asked him where he had been ;
D o you not know and have forgot,
Seeking this wife could not be »een.
Good dame said he will you be here
I pray you then tell me your name ;
T h e wife of Beith since lltat you speer,
But to come in 1 were to blame,
I will not have you then good dame
For you were mistress of the fly ting,
If once within this gaite you come,
I will be troubled with your biting.
Cummer go back and let me be,
II ere are too many of youi rout j
For women lewd like unto thee,
I cannot turn my foot about.
Sir t! let I say i shall bide out,
But gossip thou wast ne'er to me y
For to come in, I'm not so stout,
And of my biting thoil'st be free j
�5
Bill Lucifer what that on thee ?
Hast thou n?o'water in this place P
Thou look'st so black it seems to mei
Thou nener drost wash thy ugly face;
If we had water here to drink,
We would not care for washing then,
Into these flames and filthy stink.
We burn with fire in the doom:
Upbraid me then good wife no more,
For first when I heard of the name ;
1 knevr thou had such words in store,
Would make the devil to think shame.
Forsooth Sir thief thou art to blame,
If I had time now to abide ;
Once ye were well but may think shame
That lost heaven for rebellious pride;
Who traitor-like -fell with the rest,
Because ye would not be content,
And now of bliss are dispossest,
Without all grace for to repent,
Thou made'st poor Eve long since
consent,
To eat of the forbidden tree ;
(Which we her daughters may repent)
And made us almost like to thee j
But God be blest who past thee by.
And did a Saviour provide ;
For /fdam's w hole posterity,
All those who do in him confide,
Adieu false fiend, I may not bide,
With thee I may no longer stay ;
�6;
My God in death he was my Guide*
O ' e r hell I'll pet the victory.
Then up the hill the poor wife went
Opprest with stinking flames and fear.
Weeping right sore with gieat relent.
For to go else she wist not w h e r e ;
a narrow way with thorns and briers,
and full of mires was here b e f o r e ;
She sighed oft with sobs and tears.
T h e poor wife's heart was wond 4 rous
sore;
Tired and torn she went on still,
Sometimes she sat anil sometimes fell,
aye till she came to a high hill,
and then <?ne looked back to hell.
When that she hatl climbM up the hill,
Before her was a goodly plain ;
Where she did rest and weep her fill,
Then rose and to her feet again.
H e r heart was glad the way was good
Up to the hill she hied with haste,
T h e f l o u e r s were fair where there she
stood,
The field were pleasant to her taste.
Then she espied Jerusalem,
O n Zion's mount where that it stood:
Shining with gx>ld light as the sun,
H e r silly soul was then right glad ;
T h e ports of pearls shining bright,
Were very glorious to behold,
With precious stones g a \ e such a light
�7
T h e walls were of transparent gold;
high were tWe walls thegates were shut
and long she thought for to be in $
But then for fear of biding out,
She knocked hard and made some dinT o knock and cry she did not spare
Till father Adam did her h e a r ;
Who is't that raps so rudely there,
Heaven cannot well be vvcn by weir;
T h e wife of Beith since that you spier,
Hath stood these two hours at the gate*
Go back quoth he, thou must forbear,
Here may rio sinners entrance get.
Adam, quoth she, 1 shall be in,
In spite of all such churls as thee j
T h o u ' r t the original of all sin.
For which thou art not flvting free.
But for thy soul offences fled.
Adam went back and let her be,
Looking as if his nose had bled.
Then mother Eve did at him speer,
Who was it there that made such din?
He said, a woman would be here,
For me I durst not let her in.
I'll go, said she, and ask her will,
Her company I would have fain ;
But aye she cried anil knocked still,
And in no ways she would refrain.
Daughter, said Eve, you will do well,
T o come a^ain another t i u i e ;
Heaven is not won by sword or steel,
�8
Nor none that's guilty of a crime.
Mother said she, the fault is thine,
That knocking here so long I stand;
Thy guilt is more than that of mine,
If thou wilt rightly understand,
Thou wast the cause of all our sin,
Wherein we were bom and conceived.
Our misery thou did'st begin,
By thee thy husband was deceived.
Eve went back where Noah was,
and told him all how she was blam'd
Of her great sin and first trespass,
Whereof she was so much asham'd.
Then Noah said i will go down,
and will forbid her that she knock ;
Go back, he said, ye drunken lawn,
Your none of the celestial flock.
Noah she said, now hold thy peace,
Where I drank ale thou didst drink wine
Discover'd was to thy disgrace,
When thou wast full like to a swine,
If I was drunk 1 learned at the
For thou'rt the father and the first,
T h a t others taught and likewise me,
T o drink when as vve had 110 thirst.
Then Noah turned back with speed
and told the patriarch Abra'am then,
How that the carlin made him dread,
And how she all his deeds did ken.
Abra'am then said now get you gone
Let us no more hear of your din ;
�9
No lying wife as I suppose,
May enter in these gates within.
Abra'am, she said will you but spare
I hope you are not 'flyting fre^ ;
You of yourself had such a care,
Deny'd your wife and made a lie;
Go then I pray you let me be
For 1 repent of all my sin;
Do thou but ope the gates to me,
and let me quietly come in.
Abra'am went back to Jacob then,
and told his grandson how to speed,
How that of her nothing he wan,
an 1 that he thought the cariin mad,
Then down came J a t o b thro* 1 he close
and said go backward clown to h e l l ;
Jacob quoth she I know your voice,
That gate pertaineth to thyself,
Of thy old trumpheiies I can tell,
With two sisters thou led*st thy life,
and the third part of these tribes twelve
Thou got with maids besides thy wife ;
and stole thy father's bennison,
Only by fi aud t ly father frae ;
Gave thou not him for venison,
A kid instead of breaken rae ?
Jacob himself was tickled so
H e went to Lot where he was lying,
and to the gate prayed him to go,
T o staunch the carlin of her crying
Lot says fair dame make less ado,
�10
and come again another day.
Old harlot carle and drunkard too,
T h o u with thine own two daughters lay
Of thine untimely se d I say,
Proceeded nevei good hut ill.
Poor Lot for shame then stole away,
And left the wife to knock her fill,
M e e k Moses then went down at last,
T o pacify the carlin then ;
Now dame said he, knock not so fast,
Your knocking will not let you ben.
Good sir, she said, 1 am aghast,
Whene'er i look you in the f a c e ;
If that your law till now had last,
T h e n surely I had ne'er got g r a c e :
But Moses, sir, now by your leave,
although in heaven you be possesst,
For all you saw did not believe.
But you in Horeb once transgressed,
Wherefore by all it is confest.
You hut got up the land to see,
and in the mount were put to rest,
Yea buried there where you did die.
Moses meekly turned back,
and told his brother Aaron there,
H o w the old carlin did so crack,
and in no ways did him forbear.
Tl en Aaron sail), I will not swear.
But Ml conjure her as I can ;
and I will make her now forbear,
So that she shall not rap again.
�11
Then Aaron said, you whorish wife,
Get you g*one anil rap no more ;
(With idols you have led your life,)
Or then you will repent it sore,
(rood Aaron priest 1 know you well,
This golden calf you may remember.
Who made the people plagues to see*
T h e is of you recorded ever ;
your priesthood now is nothing worth,
Christ is my only priest, and he.
My lord, who shall not keep rive forth,
So I'll get in in spite of t hee.
U p started Sampson at the length,
Unto the gate apace came he,
T o drive away the wife with strength,
But all in vain it would not l>e.
Sampson, quoth she, t h e world may
Thou was a j u d p e that proved unjust ;
Those gracious girts which God gave
thee,
Thou I >st by thy licentious lust,
From Delila thy wicked wife,
Thy secrets chief couldst not refrain,
She daily sought to take thy life,
Thou lost thy locks and then was slain.
Though thou wast strong it was in vain
Haunted with harlots heie and there,
Then Sampson turned back again,
And with the wife would mell nae tnair,
T h e n said king David knock no more,
�12
We ara troubled with thy cry,
David quoth she, how cam'st thou
here ?
Thou migju^st bide out as well as I,
Thy dee,is no ways thou canst deny,
Is not thy sin far worse than mine ?
Who with Uriah's wife did lie,
And caus'cj him to be murder'd synt?,
Then Jeditii said who's there that
knocks, ?
, ?
And to our n e i g h b o u r t h e s e notes
Madam said she k t he your macks,
I came not here for qntting throats:
I am a sinner full of blots,
Yet through Chiist's blood I shall be
clean.
If you and I be judged by votes,
T h e thing you did was worse than mine
Then said the sapient Solomon,
Thou art a sinner all men say,
Therefore our Saviour, I suppose.
Thee heavenly entrance will deny,
Mind quoth she thy latter days,
What idol gods thou did upset,
And wast so lewd in Venus' plays,
Thou didst thy maker quite forget.
Then Jonas said fair dame content
you,
If you intend to come to grace.
You must dree penance and repent you
Ere you conae within tins place.
�13
Jonas quoth she how stands the case ?
How came you here to be with Christ?
How dare you look me in the face ?
Considering how you broke your tryst,
To go God's ei rand thou withstood him
And heldfhis council in disdain ;
The raven messenger thou play'd him,
And brought noitBtssage back again
With meray'thou wast Bot; darken t*.
When that the Lord i t e did them spare
Although the city did repent,
It grieved tbieAhy he!ai?t was sair :
Let me alone and speakt no more,
Go back again in:© the whale,
For now my heart is^ako gorej
]>ut yet I hope 1 shall prevail.
Good Jonas said crack on your fill,
For here I may no longer tarry,
Y£t knock as long as e'er you will,
And go into a firry farry.
Jonas she says ye do miscarry,
As I have done in former time,
You're no Saint Peter nor Saint Mary,
T h y blot's as black as ever mine,
So Jonas then he was asham'd,
Because he was not fly ting free,
Oi all his faults she had him blam'd
He left the wife and let her be.
Saint Thomas then / council thee,
Go speak unto yon wicked wife,
She shames u s all, aad as for me,
to*
�14
Her like I never heard all my life.
Thomas then said, you make such
din,
When you are out, and meikle din
If you were here, P11 lay my life.
No peace the saints would get within}
I t is your trade for to be fly ting,
Still in a fever as one raves.
N o marvel though you wives be biting,
Your tongues are ma le of a*pen leaves
Thomas quoth she, let be your taunts,
You play the pick-thank I perceive,
Though ye be brother to the saints,
An unbelieving heart you have ;
Thou brought the Lord unto the grave.
But wouht no more with him remain,
And wast the last of all the lave,
T h a t did believe he rose again,
There mi^ht no doctrine do thee good,
Nor miracles make thee confide,
Till thou beheld Christ's wounds and
blood,
And put'st thy hands unto his side ;
Didst thou not daily with him bide,
And see the wonders which he wrought
But blest are they who do confide,
And do believe yet saw him n o t ;
Thoma.«, she says, will you speei,
If that my sister Magdalene,
Will come to me if she be here ;
For comfort sure you give me nane.
�15
H e was so blythe he turned back f
and thanked God that he was gane,
He had no will to hear her crack t
But told it Mary Magdalene.
When she did hear her sister's mocks,
She went unto the gate with speed :
and asked her who is't that knocks?
*Tis I, the wife of Btith indeed,
She said g ood mistress you must stand
Till ye be tried by tiibuhtioiV.
Sister, quoth she, g w e me your hand,
are we not both of one vocation?
It is not through your occupation,
That you are placet! so divine,
My faith is fixed on Christ's passion.
My soul shail be as safe as thine.
Then Mary went away in haste,
T h e carlin made her so aslram'd,
She had no will of such a guest,
T o lose her pains and be so blamed.
Now good St. Paul, said Magdalenet
-Because you are a learned man,
Go and convince this woman then,
For I have done all that I can :
Sure if she were in hell I doubt,
They would not keep her longer there
Cut to the gate would turn hei out ;
and send her back to be elsewhere.
Then went the good apostle Paul,
T o put the wife in better tune.
Wash off the filth that fylea thy soul,
�,
16
Then shall heav'n's gates be open soon.
Remember Paul what thou hast idone,
For the epistles thou didst compile,
Though now thou sittest up above,
Thou persecuted Christ awhile.
Woman he said, thou art not r%ht f
That which I did, I did not know;
But thou did sin with all thy might ,
Although th^ preachers did thee show,
Saint Paul, rhe said, it is not So,
I did not know as well asye,
But I will to my Saviour go;
Who will his favour show to mfe ;
You think you are of flvting free,
Because you were wrapt up above.
But yet it was Christ's grace to thee,
and matchlessness of his dear love,
Then, Paul she says let Peter come,
If he be lying let him rise,
To him I will confess my sin.
and let him quickly bring the keys.
Too long I stand, he'll let me in,
Fcr why I cannot longer tarry,
Then shall ye ail be quit of din,
For I must speak with good saint Mary.
The good apostle discontent,
Right suddenly he turned back,
For he did very much repent,
T o hear the carhn proudly crack,
Paul says good brother now arise,
and make an end of all this din,
�17
And if be so you have the keys,
Open and l ?l the p ^ i g ^ g iprdm oT
T h e apostle Paul arose at last,
and to the gate with speed he he hies*:
Carlin quoth he knock not so fast,
You cumber Mary with your cries.
Peter she said let Christ arise,
and grant me mercy in my need ;
For why, 1 ne'er denied him thrice,
as though thyself hast don?e indeed..
Thou calling bold what's that to thee ?
1 got remission for my sin ;
It cost many sad tears to me,
Before I entered here within.
/ 1 will not be thy m uckle din,
W ill cause heaven ^ates opened be,
Thou must be purified of sin ;
and of all sins must be made free.
Saint Peter then its nought to you
That you were rid of your fears,
It was Christ's gracious look I trow
That made ye wipe those bitter tears,
T h e door of mercy is not closed,
I may get grace as well as ye,
It is not so as ye supposed
/ will be in, in jspiite } Jsh&f&o odW
But wicked wife it is too late,
Thou shouldest have mourn'd upon
earth,
Repentance now is out of date :
/ 1 should have been before thy death ;
�18
Thau mightest then have turned wrath
T o mercy then and mercy £feat,
But now the Lord is very loth,
and all thy crys not worth a jot.
Ah ! Peter then what shall I do?
H e will not hear me as i hear,
Shall I despair of mercy too!
No, no, 1,11 trust in mercy d e a r :
and if I perish here I'll stay,
and never go from heaven bright;
I'll ever hope and always pray,
Tntil 1 get my Saviour's sight.
I think indeed you now are right,
if you had faith you would win in ;
Importune then with all your mi^ht,
Faith is the feet wherewith you come.
It is che hands will hoi i him fast
But weak faith never may presume ;
'Twill let you sink and be aghast.
Stongly believe, < r your undone.
But good Saint Peter, let me be,
Had you &m:h faith did it abound ?
When you did walk upon the sea,
Were ye not lik iiy to he drown'd ?
Had not our Saviour helped thee,
Who came and took thee by the hand ;
So c*n my Lord do ui to me,
and bring- me to the promised land,
Is my faith weak ? Yea he is still
T h e same and ever shall remain ;
His mercies last and his good will,
�w
T o bring me to his flock again;
He will me help and me relieve,
and will increase my faith also,
If weakly J can but believe,
For from this place Til never go.
But Peter said how can that be*
How dar'st thou look him in the face ?
Such horrid sinners like to thee,
Can have no courage to have grace ;
Here none comes in but they that's
stout,
and suffer'd have for the good cause?
Like unto thee are keeped cut.
For thou hast kroken all Moses* laws.
Peter she said, 1 do appeal,
From Moses and from thee also,
With him and you Ml not prevail,
But to my Saviour 1 will go;
Indeed of old you were right stout,
When ysu did cut off Malchtis' ear ;
But after that you went about.
And a poor maid then did you fear.
Wherefore Saint Peter do forbear,
A comforter indee 1 your n o t ;
Let me alone, 1 do not fear,
Take home the wissd of your g r o a t ;
Was it your o\rn or Paul's good sword
When that your courage was so keen,
You were ri^ht stout upon my word,
Then you would fain at fishing been j
For ere the crowing of the cock,
�20
You 4id deny your master thrice.
For all your stoutness turned: a block,
Now flyte no more if ye be wise.
Yet at the last the Lord arose,
Environ§d with angels bright.
And to the wife in haste he goes,
l i e f i ^ d her to pass out of sight,
() Lord quoth she, cause me do right
But not according to my sin,
tlave yoi) not promised day and night,
When sinners knocks t j let them in ?
v He said thou wrests the scriptures
wrong.
The night is come thou spent the day
In whoredom thou hast lived lon£,
And do repent thou didst d e l a y ;
Still my commandments thou abus'd
And vice committed busily,
Since now,my mercy thou refused,
Go down to hell eternally,
O Lord, my sou! doth testify,
That I have spent my life in vain ;
Ah ! mak^ a wandering sheep of me,
And bring me to thy flock again.
I'nink'st thou tbore is no count to
crave,
Of all th;e#e gifts in thee was planted,
I gave thee beauty 'hove*the lave,
A pregnant wit thou ntver ro anted.
Master, quoth she it must be granted,
My sins are great give me contrition ;
�M
The forlorn son when he repented.
Obtain'd his father's full remission.
I spar'd my judgment many times,
And sp'ritual pastors did thee send ;
Hut thou renew'd'st thy former crimes,
Aye more and more me to offend.
My Lord, quoth she, I do amend,
Lamenting for my former vice,
The poor thief at the latter end,
For one word went to paradise.
T h e t hief heard never of my teachings,
My heavenly precepts and my laws,
But thou wast daily at my preachings,
Both heard and saw and yet misknowl,
Master quoth she the scriptures shows,
T h ie J e w i sh w o m a n w h 0 p I ay' d t h e 1 o w ii
Conform unto the Hebrew laws,
Was brought to thee to he put down ;
Y ut nevertheless thou let 4 st her go,
And made the P h a r k e e ^ afraid.
Indeed, says Christ, it was right so,
And that my bidding was obey'd,
Woman, he sail), I may not cast,
The chi 1 dren's bread to dog's like thee,
Although my mercics yet do last,
There's mercy here but none for thee,
But, loving Lord, may I presume,
Poor worm, that I may speak again,
The dogs for hunger were undone,
Arid for the crumbs they were right
fain ;
�22
Grant me one crumb that then doth fall
From thy blest children's table Lord,
That I may be lefresh'd withal,
It will me help enough afford.
The gates of mercy now are clos'd,
And thou canst hardly enter in ;
It is not so as thou supposed.
For thou art deadly sick in sin.
*Tis true indeed my lord most meek,
My sore and sickness 1 do f e e l ;
Yet thou the lamb dost truly seek,
Who lay long* at Bethseda's pool,
Of that thee never sought,
Like to the poor Samaritan;
Whom thou into thy fold has brought,
Even as thou didst the widow of Nain :
Most giacious God, didst thou not bid
All that were weary eorre to thee ?
Behold I come! even oVrload
With sin, have mercy upon me.
The issues of tiw soul are great,
Thou art both leprous and unclean,
To be with me thou art not fit,
Go from me then, let me alone.
Let me thy garments once but touch,
My bloody issue will be whole,
It will not cost thee very much,
To Fave a poor distressed soul.
Speak thou the word I shall be vhole,
One look of thee shall do me good,
Save now good lord my silly soul,
�23
Bought with thine own most precious
blood.
L e t me alone, none of my blood,
Was ever shed for such as thee,
I t was my mercy patience good.
Which from damnation sec them free.
I t is confest thou hast been just,
Altho 4 thou had condemned m e ;
But O ! thy mercies still do last,
T o save the soul that tiust in thee :
Let me not then condemned be.
Most humbly Lord, I thee request,
O f sinners all none, like me,
So much the more thy praise shall last,
Thy praising me is profite,
My saints shall praise me e v e r m o r e :
In sinners I have no delight,
Such sacrifice 1 do abhor.
T h e n she unto the Lord did say,
At footstool of thy grace Ml lie ;
Sweet Lord my God sav me not nay,
For if I perish here I'll die.
Poor silly wretch then speak no mor*
Thy faith poor soul hath saved thee ;
Enter thou into my glory,
And rest through all eternity.
How soon our Saviour these words
said,
A lon«r white robe to her was given
And then the angels did her lead
Forthwith within the gates of heaven
�24
A laurel crown set on her Head.
Spangled with rubies and with gold ;
A bright white palm she always had,
Glorious itWas for to behold ;
Her face did shine like to the sun,
like threads of gold her hair hung dpwn
Her eyes like lamps unto the moon :
Of precious stones ri Jh Was her croVHi,
Angels and saints did welcome her,
:The heavenly choir did sing rejoice ;
King David w ith his harp was t h e r e ;
The silver bells gave a great noise.
Such music and such melody,
Was neither ever heard or seen,
When this poor saint was plac'd t o high
:And of her sins made freely clean ;
But then when thus she Was p<issest,
And looked back on all 11er fears,
And that she was come to her rest,
KreeM from her sins, and all her tears,
She from her head did take the crown,
Giving all praise to Christ on high,
Amd a t I vis feet-she laid it down,
For that the Lamb hath made her free,
Now doth she sing triumphantly,
And shall rejoice for eventiore
O'er death and hell victoriously,
With lasting spirits laid in store.

THE
Wife of Beith;
With a description of her
JOURNEY TO HEAVEN.
FALKIRK
PRINTED F R THE BOOKSELLERS.
O
�THE
W I F E OF B E I T H .
In Beith once dwelt a worthy wife,
Of whom brave Chaucer mention makes
She lived a licentious life,
And namely in venereal acts ;
But death did come for all her cracks,
When years were spent and days outdriven,
Then suddenly she sickness takes,
Deceast forthwith and went to heaven.
But as she went upen the way.
There followed her a certain guide ;
And kindly to her did say,
Where mean you dame for to abide ?
I know you are the Wife of Beith,
And would not then that you go wrong
For I'm your friend, and will not loath
That you go thro' this narrow throng,
This way is broader,
with me.
And very pleasant is the way ;
I'll bring thee where you would be,
Go with me friend say me not nay.
She looked on him. then did speer,
I pray you sir, what is your name ?
Show me the way how came you here?
T o tell it to me is no shame.
�3
Is that a favour 'bout your neck ?
And what is that upon your side ?
Is it a bag or silver sack ?
What are you then where do you bide ?
I was a servant unto Christ,
And Judas likewise is my name.
I knew you by your colours first.
Forsooth indeed you are to blame;
Your master did you not betray ?
And hang yourself when ye had done ?
Where'er you bide I will not stay ;
Go then you knave let me alone.
Whatever I be I'll be your guide,
Becauseyoui know not well the way
;
Will you at once in me confide,
I'll do all friendship that I may.
What would you me ?
Where do you dwell,
I have nought will go with t h e e ;
I fear it is some lower cell,
I pray thee therefore let me be.
This is a stormy night and cold,
I'll bring you to a warmer inn ;
Will you g o forward and be bold,
And mend your pace till ye win in.
I fear your inn will be too warm,
For too much hotness is not b e s t ;
Such hotness there may do me harm,
And keep me that I do not r e s t ;
I know your way it is to hell.
For you are not one of the eleven ;
�4
Go haste you then unto your cell,
My way is only unto heaven.
That way is by the gates of hell,
I f you intend there for to go,
Go dame I will not you compel,
Bnt I with you will go also.
Then down they went a right steep
hill,
Where Smoke and darkness did abound
And pitch and sulphur burned still,
With yells and cries hills did resound,
T h e fiend himself came to the gate,
And asked him where he had been ;
D o you not know and have forgot,
Seeking this wife could not be seen.
Good dame said he will you be here
I pray you then tell me your name ;
T h e wife of Beith since that you speer,
But to come in I were to blame,
I will not have you then good dame
For you were mistress of the flyting,
If once within this gate you come,
I will be troubled with your biting.
Cummer go back and let me be,
H ere are too many of your rout
For women lewd like unto thee,
I cannot turn my foot about.
Sir thief I say i shall bide out,
But gossip thou wast ne'er to me
For to come in, I'm not so stout,
And of my biting thou'st be free
;
;
;
�5
But Lucifer what's that on thee ?
Hast thou no water in this place?
Thou look'st so black it seems to me,
Thou ne'er dost wash thy ugly face;
If we had water here to drink,
We would not care for washing then,
Into these flames and filthy stink.
We burn with fire in the doom:
Upbraid me then good wife no more,
For first when I heard of the name ;
Iknewthou had such words in store,
Would make the devil to think shame.
Forsooth Sir thief thou art to blame,
If I had time now to abide ;
Once ye were well but may think shame
That lost heaven for rebellious pride;
Who traitor-like fell with the rest,
Because ye would not be content,
And now of bliss are dispossest,
Without all grace for to repent,
Thou made'st poor Eve long since
consent,
To eat of the forbidden tree ;
(Which we her daughters may repent)
And made us almost like to thee ;
But God be blest who past thee by.
And did a Saviour provide ;
For Adam's whole posterity,
All those who do in him confide,
Adieu false fiend, I may not bide,
With thee I may no longer stay ;
�6;
My God in death he was my Guide,
O ' e r hell I'll get the victory.
Then up the hill the poor wife went
Opprest with stinking flames and fear.
Weeping right sore with great relent.
For to go else she wist not w h e r e ;
a narrow way with thorns and briers,
and full of mires was here b e f o r e ;
She sighed oft with sobs and tears.
T h e poor wife's heart was wond 4 rous
sore;
Tired and torn she went on still,
Sometimes she sat and sometimes fell,
aye till she came to a high hill,
and then she looked back to hell.
When that she had climb'd up the hill,
Before her was a goodly plain ;
Where she did rest and weep her fill,
Then rose and to her feet again.
H e r heart was glad the way was good
Up to the hill she hied with haste,
T h e flowers were fair where there she
stood,
The field were pleasant to her taste.
Then she espied Jerusalem,
O n Zion's mount where that it stood:
Shining with gold light as the sun,
H e r silly soul was then right glad ;
T h e ports of pearls shining bright,
Were very glorious to behold,
With precious stones gave such a light
�7
T h e walls were of transparent gold;
high were the walls the gates were shut
and long she thought for to be in
But then for fear of biding out,
She knocked hard and made some din.
T o knock and cry she did not spare
Till father Adam did her h e a r ;
Who is't that raps so rudely there,
Heaven cannot well be won by weir;
T h e wife of Beith since that you spier,
Hath stood these two hours at the gate.
Go back quoth he, thou must forbear,
Here may no sinners entrance get.
Adam, quoth she, I shall be in,
In spite of all such churls as thee
T h o u ' r t the original of all sin.
For which thou art not flyting free.
But for thy soul offences fled.
Adam went back and let her be,
Looking as if his nose had bled.
Then mother Eve did at him speer,
Who was it there that made such din?
He said, a woman would be here,
For me I durst not let her in.
I'll go, said she, and ask her will,
Her company I would have fain ;
But aye she cried and knocked still,
And in no ways she would refrain.
Daughter, said Eve, you will do well,
T o come again another t i m e ;
Heaven is not won by sword or steel,
;
;
�8
Nor none that's guilty of a crime.
Mother said she, the fault is thine,
That knocking here so long I stand;
Thy guilt is more than that of mine,
If thou wilt rightly understand,
Thou wast the cause of all our sin,
Wherein we were born and conceived.
Our misery thou did'st begin,
By thee thy husband was deceiv'd.
Eve went back where Noah was,
and told him all how she was blam'd
Of her great sin and first trespass,
Whereof she was so much asham'd.
Then Noah said i will go down,
and will forbid her that she knock ;
Go back, he said, ye drunken lawn,
Your none of the celestial flock.
Noah she said, now hold thy peace,
Where I drank ale thou didst drink wine
Discover'd was to thy disgrace,
When thou wast full like to a swine,
If I was drunk I learned at the
For thou'rt the father and the first,
T h a t others taught and likewise me,
T o drink when as we had no thirst.
Then Noah turned back with speed
and told the patriarch Abra'am then,
How that the carlin made him dread,
And how she all his deeds did ken.
Abra'am then said now get you gone
Let us no more hear of your din ;
�9
No lying wife as I suppose,
May enter in these gates within.
Abra'am, she said will you but spare
I hope you are not flyting free ;
You of yourself had such a care,
Deny'd your wife and made a lie;
Go then I pray you let me be
For I repent of all my sin;
Do thou but ope the gates to me,
and let me quietly come in.
Abra'am went back to Jacob then,
and told his grandson how to speed,
How that of her nothing he wan,
an I that he thought the carlin mad,
Then down came J a t o b thro' the close
and said go backward clown to h e l l ;
Jacob quoth she I know your voice,
That gate pertaineth to thyself,
Of thy old trumpheries I can tell,
With two sisters thou led'st thy life,
and the third part of these tribes twelve
Thou got with maids besides thy wife ;
and stole thy father's bennison,
Only by fraud thy father frae ;
Gave thou not him for venison,
A kid instead of breaken rae ?
Jacob himself was tickled so
H e went to Lot where he was lying,
and to the gate prayed him to go,
T o staunch the carlin of her crying
Lot says fair dame make less ado,
�10
and come again another day.
Old harlot carle and drunkard too,
Thou with thine own two daughters lay
Of thine untimely se d I say,
Proceeded never good hut ill.
Poor Lot for shame then stole away,
And left the wife to knock her fill,
Meek Moses then went down at last,
T o pacify the carlin then ;
Now dame said he, knock not so fast,
Your knocking will not let you ben.
Good sir, she said, I am aghast,
Whene'er i look you in the f a c e ;
If that your law till now had last,
Then surely I had ne'er got g r a c e :
But Moses, sir, now by your leave,
although in heaven you be possesst,
For all you saw did not believe.
But you in Horeb once transgressed,
Wherefore by all it is confest.
You hut got up the land to see,
and in the mount were put to rest,
Yea buried there where you did die.
Moses meekly turned back,
and told his brother Aaron there,
How the old carlin did so crack,
and in no ways did him forbear.
Then Aaron said, I will not swear.
But I'll conjure her as I can ;
and I will make her now forbear,
So that she shall not rap again.
�11
Then Aaron said, you whorish wife,
Get you gone anil rap no more ;
(With idols you have led your life,)
Or then you will repent it sore,
(rood Aaron priest I know you well,
This golden calf you may remember.
Who made the people plagues to see.
T h e is of you recorded ever ;
your priesthood now is nothing worth,
Christ is my only priest, and he.
My lord, who shall not keep me forth,
So I'll get in in spite of thee.
U p started Sampson at the length,
Unto the gate apace came he,
T o drive away the wife with strength,
But all in vain it would not he.
Sampson, quoth she, t h e world may
Thou was a judge that proved unjust ;
Those gracious girts which God gave
thee,
Thou lost by thy licentious lust,
From Delila thy wicked wife,
Thy secrets chief couldst not refrain,
She daily sought to take thy life,
Thou lost thy locks and then was slain.
Though thou wast strong it was in vain
Haunted with harlots here and there,
Then Sampson turned back again,
And with the wife would mell nae mair,
T h e n said king David knock no more,
�12
We are troubled with thy cry,
David quoth she, how cam'st thou
here ?
Thou might'st bide out as well as I,
Thy deeds no ways thou canst deny,
Is not thy sin far worse than mine ?
Who with Uriah's wife did lie,
And caus'd him to be murder'd syne,
Then Jedith said who's there that
knocks,
And to our neighbour gives these notes
Madam said she let be your macks,
I came not here for cutting throats:
I am a sinner full of blots,
Yet through Christ's blood I shall be
clean.
If you and I be judged by votes,
T h e thing you did was worse than mine
Then said the sapient Solomon,
Thou art a sinner all men say,
Therefore our Saviour, I suppose.
Thee heavenly entrance will deny,
Mind quoth she thy latter days,
What idol gods thou did upset,
And wast so lewd in Venus' plays,
Thou didst thy maker quite forget.
Then Jonas said fair dame content
you,
If you intend to come to grace.
You must dree penance and repent you
Ere you come within this place.
�13
Jonas quoth she how stands the case ?
How came you here to be with Christ?
How dare you look me in the face ?
Considering how you broke your tryst,
To go God's errand thou withstood him
And held this council in disdain ;
The raven messenger thou play'd him,
And brought no message back again
With mercy thou wastnotcontent,
When that the Lord he did them spare
Although the city did repent,
It grieved thee thy heart was sair :
Let me alone and speak no more,
Go back again into the whale,
For now my heart isalsosore,
But yet I hope I shall prevail.
Good Jonas said crack on your fill,
For here I may no longer tarry,
Yet knock as long as e'er you will,
And go into a firry farry.
Jonas she says ye do miscarry,
As I have done in former time,
You're no Saint Peter nor Saint Mary,
T h y blot's as black as ever mine,
So Jonas then he was asham'd,
Because he was not fly ting free,
Of all his faults she had him blam'd
He left the wife and let her be.
Saint Thomas then I council thee,
Go speak unto yon wicked wife,
She shames u s all, and as for me,
�14
Her like I never heard all my life.
Thomas then said, you make such
din,
When you are out, and meikle din
If you were here, I'll lay my life.
No peace the saints would get within;
I t is your trade for to be flyting,
Still in a fever as one raves.
N o marvel though you wives be biting,
Your tongues are m a l e of aspen leaves
Thomas quoth she, let be your taunts,
You play the pick-thank I perceive,
Though ye be brother to the saints,
An unbelieving heart you have ;
Thou brought the Lord unto the grave.
But would no more with him remain,
And wast the last of all the lave,
T h a t did believe he rose again,
There mi^ht no doctrine do thee good,
Nor miracles make thee confide,
Till thou beheld Christ's wounds and
blood,
And put'st thy hands unto his side ;
Didst thou not daily with him bide,
And see the wonders which he wrought
But blest are they who do confide,
And do believe yet saw him n o t ;
Thomas, she says, will you speer,
If that my sister Magdalene,
Will come to me if she be here ;
For comfort sure you give me nane.
�15
H e was so blythe he turned back,
and thanked God that he was gane,
He had no will to hear her crack,
But told it Mary Magdalene.
When she did hear her sister's mocks,
She went unto the gate with speed :
and asked her who is't that knocks?
'Tis I, the wife of Btith indeed,
She said good mistress you must stand
Till ye be tried by tribulation.
Sister, quoth she, give me your hand,
are we not both of one vocation?
It is not through your occupation,
That you are placed so divine,
My faith is fixed on Christ's passion.
My soul shall be as safe as thine.
Then Mary went away in haste,
T h e carlin made her so asham'd,
She had no will of such a guest,
T o lose her pains and be so blamed.
Now good St. Paul, said Magdalene,
Because you are a learned man,
Go and convince this woman then,
For I have done all that I can :
Sure if she were in hell I doubt,
They would not keep her longer there
Cut to the gate would turn her out ;
and send her back to be elsewhere.
Then went the good apostle Paul,
T o put the wife in better tune.
Wash off the filth that fyles thy soul,
�16
Then shall heav'n's gates be open soon.
Remember Paul what thou hast done,
For the epistles thou didst compile,
Though now thou sittest up above,
Thou persecuted Christ awhile.
Woman he said, thou art not right,
That which I did, I did not know;
But thou did sin with all thy might,
Although the preachers did thee show,
Saint Paul, she said, it is not So,
I did not know as well as ye,
But I will to my Saviour go;
Who will his favour show to me ;
You think you are of flyting free,
Because you were wrapt up above.
But yet it was Christ's grace to thee,
and matchlessness of his dear love,
Then, Paul she says let Peter come,
If he be lying let him rise,
To him I will confess my sin.
and let him quickly bring the keys.
Too long I stand, he'll let me in,
For why I cannot longer tarry,
Then shall ye all be quit of din,
For I must speak with good saint Mary.
The good apostle discontent,
Right suddenly he turned back,
For he did very much repent,
T o hear the carlin proudly crack,
Paul says good brother now arise,
and make an end of all this din,
�17
And if be so you have the keys,
Open andletthecarlinin;
T h e apostle Paul arose at last,
and to the gate with speed he he hies,
Carlin quoth he knock not so fast,
You cumber Mary with your cries.
Peter she said let Christ arise,
and grant me mercy in my need ;
For why, I ne'er denied him thrice,
as though thyself hast done indeed.
Thou calling bold what's that to thee ?
I got remission for my sin ;
It cost many sad tears to me,
Before I entered here within.
I will not be thy muckle din,
Will cause heaven gates opened be,
Thou must be purified of sin ;
and of all sins must be made free.
Saint Peter then its nought to you
That you were rid of your fears,
It was Christ's gracious look I trow
That made ye wipe those bitter tears,
T h e door of mercy is not closed,
I may get grace as well as ye,
It is not so as ye supposed
I will be in, in spiteofthee.
But wicked wife it is too late,
Thou shouldest have mourn'd upon
earth,
Repentance now is out of date :
I should have been before thy death ;
�18
Thou mightest then have turned wrath
T o mercy then and mercy great,
But now the Lord is very loth,
and all thy crys not worth a jot.
Ah ! Peter then what shall I do?
H e will not hear me as i hear,
Shall I despair of mercy too!
No, no, I,ll trust in mercy d e a r :
and if I perish here I'll stay,
and never go from heaven bright;
I'll ever hope and always pray,
TntilIget my Saviour's sight.
I think indeed you now are right,
if you had faith you would win in ;
Importune then with all your might,
Faith is the feet wherewith you come.
It is the hands will hold him fast
But weak faith never may presume ;
'Twill let you sink and be aghast.
Stongly believe, or your undone.
But good Saint Peter, let me be,
Had you such faith did it abound ?
When you did walk upon the sea,
Were ye not likely to he drown'd ?
Had not our Saviour helped thee,
Who came and took thee by the hand ;
So can my Lord dountoto me,
and bring me to the promised land,
Is my faith weak ? Yea he is still
T h e same and ever shall remain ;
His mercies last and his good will,
�19
T o bring me to his flock a g a i n ;
H e will me help and me relieve,
and will increase my faith also,
If weakly I can but believe,
For from this place I'll never go.
But Peter said how can that be?
How dar'st thou look him in the face ?
Such horrid sinners like to thee,
Can have no courage to have grace ;
Here none comes in but they that's
stout,
and suffer'd have for the good cause?
Like unto thee are keeped cut.
For thou hast kroken all Moses' laws.
Peter she said, I do appeal,
From Moses and from thee also,
With him and you I'll not prevail,
But to my Saviour I will go;
Indeed of old you were right stout,
When ysu did cut off Malchus' ear ;
But after that you went about.
And a poor maid then did you fear.
Wherefore Saint Peter do forbear,
A comforter indeed your n o t ;
Let me alone, I do not fear,
Take home the wissel of your g r o a t ;
Was it your own or Paul's good sword
When that your courage was so keen,
You were right stout upon my word,
Then you would fain at fishing been
For ere the crowing of the cock,
;
�20
You did deny your master thrice.
For all your stoutness turned: a block,
Now flyte no more if ye be wise.
Yet at the last the Lord arose,
Environed with angels bright.
And to the wife in haste he goes,
Desir'd
her to pass out of sight,
O Lord quoth she, cause me do right
But not according to my sin,
have you not promised day and night,
When sinners knocks to let them in ?
He said thou wrests the scriptures
wrong.
The night is come thou spent the day
In whoredom thou hast lived long,
And do repent thou didst d e l a y ;
Still my commandments thou abus'd
And vice committed busily,
Since now my mercy thou refused,
Go down to hell eternally,
O Lord, my sou! doth testify,
That I have spent my life in vain ;
Ah ! make a wandering sheep of me,
And bring me to thy flock again.
Think'st thou there is no count to
crave,
Of all these gifts in thee was planted,
I gave thee beauty 'bove the lave,
A pregnant wit thou never wanted.
Master, quoth she it must be granted,
My sins are great give me contrition ;
�21
The forlorn son when he repented.
Obtain'd his father's full remission.
I spar'd my judgment many times,
And sp'ritual pastors did thee send ;
But thou renew'd'st thy former crimes,
Aye more and more me to offend.
My Lord, quoth she, I do amend,
Lamenting for my former vice,
The poor thief at the latter end,
For one word went to paradise.
T h e thief heard never of my teachings,
My heavenly precepts and my laws,
But thou wast daily at my preachings,
Both heard and saw and yet misknows,
Master quoth she the scriptures shows,
T h e Jewish womanwhoplay'dthelown,
Conform unto the Hebrew laws,
Was brought to thee to he put down ;
But nevertheless thou let'st her go,
And made the Pharisee's afraid.
Indeed, says Christ, it was right so,
And that my bidding was obey'd,
Woman, he said, I may not cast,
The children's bread to dog's like thee,
Although my mercies yet do last,
There's mercy here but none for thee,
But, loving Lord, may I presume,
Poor worm, that I may speak again,
The dogs for hunger were undone,
And for the crumbs they were right
fain ;
�22
Grant me one crumb that then doth fall
From thy blest children's table Lord,
That I may be refresh'd withal,
It will me help enough afford.
The gates of mercy now are clos'd,
And thou canst hardly enter in ;
It is not so as thou supposed.
For thou art deadly sick in sin.
'Tis true indeed my lord most meek,
My sore and sickness I do f e e l ;
Yet thou the lamb dost truly seek,
Who lay long at Bethseda's pool,
Of that thee never sought,
Like to the poor Samaritan;
Whom thou into thy fold has brought,
Even as thou didst the widow of Nain :
Most gracious God, didst thou not bid
All that were weary come to thee ?
Behold I come! even o'erload
With sin, have mercy upon me.
The issues of thy soul are great,
Thou art both leprous and unclean,
To be with me thou art not fit,
Go from me then, let me alone.
Let me thy garments once but touch,
My bloody issue will be whole,
It will not cost thee very much,
To save a poor distressed soul.
Speak thou the word I shall be whole,
One look of thee shall do me good,
Save now good lord my silly soul,
�23
Bought with thine own most precious
blood.
Let me alone, none of my blood,
Was ever shed for such as thee,
It was my mercy patience good.
Which from damnation set them free.
I t is confest thou hast been just,
Altho' thou had condemned m e ;
But O ! thy mercies still do last,
T o save the soul that trust in thee :
Let me not then condemned be.
Most humbly Lord, I thee request,
Of sinners all none, like me,
So much the more thy praise shall last,
Thy praising me is profite,
My saints shall praise me evermore:
In sinners I have no delight,
Such sacrifice I do abhor.
Then she unto the Lord did say,
At footstool of thy grace I'll lie ;
Sweet Lord my God say me not nay,
For if I perish here I'll die.
Poor silly wretch then speak no more,
Thy faith poor soul hath saved thee ;
Enter thou into my glory,
And rest through all eternity.
How soon our Saviour these words
said,
A long white robe to her was given ;
And then the angels did her lead
Forthwith within the gates of heaven ;
�24
A laurel crown set on her Head.
Spangled with rubies and with gold ;
A bright white palm she always had,
Glorious itWas for to behold ;
Her face did shine like to the sun,
like threads of gold her hair hung down
Her eyes like lamps unto the moon :
Of precious stones rich Was her crown,
Angels and saints did welcome her,
T h e heavenly choir did sing rejoice ;
King David with his harp was t h e r e ;
The silver bells gave a great noise.
Such music and such melody,
Was neither ever heard or seen,
When this poor saint was plac'd t o high
And of her sins made freely clean ;
But then when thus she Was possest,
And looked back on all her fears,
And that she was come to her rest,
Free'd from her sins, and all her tears,
She from her head did take the crown,
Giving all praise to Christ on high,
And at his feet she laid it down,
For that the Lamb hath m a d e her free,
Now doth she sing triumphantly,
And shall rejoice for evermore
O'er death and hell victoriously,
With lasting spirits laid in store.
FINIS. .

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Inspired by Chaucer’s Wife of Bath, this tale describes the Wife’s journey after death. As the Wife travels first to hell and then to heaven, she is rejected by the Devil – who does not wish to be harried by her scornful tongue – and then a long number of biblical characters in heaven due to her many earthly transgressions. The Wife’s flyting appalls and shames all of these characters until she ultimately comes before Christ who at first rejects her as well, but then ultimately accepts her when she submits faithfully to him.
