Luke 1:40-55

⁴⁰And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet.

⁴¹And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost.

⁴²And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed.

⁴³And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

⁴⁴For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye,

⁴⁵And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.

⁴⁶Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord,

⁴⁷And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.

⁴⁸For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed,

⁴⁹Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name.

⁵⁰And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him.

⁵¹Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.

⁵²Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree.

⁵³Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie.

⁵⁴Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie

⁵⁵(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer.
