40and entred into the housse of zachary and saluted Elizabeth.
41And it fortuned as Elizabeth hearde the salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost
42and cryed with a loude voyce and sayde: Blessed arte thou amonge wemen and blessed is the frute of thy wombe.
43And whence hapeneth this to me that the mother of my Lorde shuld come to me?
44For loo assone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares the babe sprange in my belly for ioye.
45And blessed arte thou that belevedst: for thoose thinges shalbe performed wich were tolde the from the lorde.
46And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.
47And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure
48For he hath loked on the povre degre of his honde mayde. Beholde now from hence forth shall all generacions call me blessed.
49For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges and holye is his name.
50And his mercy is on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.
51He sheweth strength with his arme he scattereth them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes.
52He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre.
53He filleth the hongry with good thinges: and sendeth awaye the ryche emptye.
54He remembreth mercy: and helpeth his servaunt Israel.
55Even as he promised to oure fathers Abraham and to his seede for ever.
