⁶⁹And he hath rerid to vs an horn of heelthe in the hous of Dauid, his child.

⁷⁰As he spak bi the mouth of hise hooli prophetis, that weren fro the world.

⁷¹Helthe fro oure enemyes, and fro the hoond of alle men that hatiden vs.

⁷²To do merci with oure fadris, and to haue mynde of his hooli testament.

⁷³The greet ooth that he swoor to Abraham, oure fadir, to yyue hym silf to vs.

⁷⁴That we with out drede delyuered fro the hoond of oure enemyes,

⁷⁵serue to hym, in hoolynesse and riytwisnesse bifor hym in alle oure daies.

⁷⁶And thou, child, schalt be clepid the prophete of the Hiyest; for thou schalt go bifor the face of the Lord, to make redi hise weies.
