Wo be unto Prelacie

that ever it did stand

and wo be to your new made laws

but and your cursed band

And wo be to you Prelates all,

if ye do not repent

for ye have banish'd Christ away

and broken his covenant.

You Prelates ay when that you look

you do mistake the figure

you think it service good enough

to press the poor with rigour

Our whorish Council apostates

hath made a foul Defection

for they have shed the righteous blood

since Prelates their election:

Our Teachers they have banished

from city and from town;

and raised up a perjured pack

to trade the Gosple down,

When they appear at the letter day

their tales will have no bearing

I hope it’s be there hinder end;

their covenant men swearing.

When we drew up into the well

against these insurrections,

at Pentland hills there we did fight

to witness, against defections,

They buried Christ at pentland hills

that day at Rullein green,

but yet the LORD will rise again,

and reign in Zion King.

For there a King in Zion was,

when man that there was none
