⁹(accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lot was to bourne incence. And went into the temple of the Lorde

¹⁰and the whoale multitude of the people were with out in prayer whill the incense was aburnynge.

¹¹And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.

¹²And when Zacharias sawe him he was abasshed and feare came on him.

¹³And the angell sayde vnto him: feare not Zachary for thy prayer is hearde: And thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare the a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iohn

¹⁴and thou shalt have ioye and gladnes and many shall reioyce at his birth.

¹⁵For he shalbe greate in the sight of the lorde and shall nether drinke wyne ner stronge drinke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers wombe:

¹⁶and many of the chyldren of Israel shall he tourne to their Lorde God.

¹⁷And he shall goo before him in the sprete and power of Helyas to tourne the hertes of the fathers to the chyldren and the vnbelevers to the wysdom of the iuste men: to make the people redy for the Lorde.

¹⁸And Zacharias sayde vnto the angell: Wher by shall I knowe this? seinge that I am olde and my wyfe well stricken in yeares.

¹⁹And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.

²⁰And beholde thou shalt be domme and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in their season.
