"Blessit be pure men in
spirit; for the kingdom of heuenis is thairis.Blessit be myld men: for
thai sal weld the erde. Blessit be thai that murnis: for thai salbe
confortit. Blessit be thai that hungris and threstis richtwisnes: for thai
salbe fulfillit. Blessit be merciful men: for thai sal get mercy. Blessit
be thai that ar of clene hart: for thai sal se God. Blessit be peciabile
men: for thai salbe be callit Goddis childir. Blessit be thai that
suffiris persecutioun for richtwisnes: for the kingdom of heuenis is
thairis. Ye salbe blessit quhen men sal curse you, and sal persew you, and
sal say al euil aganis you leand, for me. Joy ye, and be ye glaid: for
your mede is plentuous in heuenis: for sa thai haue persewit alsa
prophetis that war before you. Ye ar salt of the erde: that gif the salt
vanyse away, qhuarein sal be it saltit? to nathing is it worthi ouer, but
that it be castin out, and be defoulit of men." |
