Benedictus &c. Luc. i.
The
Lorde the God of Israell, is for to be praysed:
For he visited his people, and hath them redemed.
For he visited his people, and hath them redemed.
And in the house of Dauid his seruant he hath erect:
The home of health for vs that be his chosen and electe.
The home of health for vs that be his chosen and electe.
As he hath spoken by the mouth of his prophetes holye:
That from the begynnynge haue bene preachars of veritie.
That from the begynnynge haue bene preachars of veritie.
Declareynge that we should be made false from our enimies:
And from the powre of all them that hate vs in anye wise.
And from the powre of all them that hate vs in anye wise.
That towardes our fathers he myght vse his bountifull mercie:
And call hys holy testament into hys memorie.
And call hys holy testament into hys memorie.
And that he myght performe the othe that he had firmely sworne:
Unto our father Habraham longe before we were borne.
Unto our father Habraham longe before we were borne.
And that he myght geue vs the powr to serue hym wythout feare:
Beynge free from our enmies powre, whose heauie yocke we beare.
And that in holynes of lyfe and iustice in his syght:
All the tyme that we shall lyue here, as well by daye as nyght.
All the tyme that we shall lyue here, as well by daye as nyght.
And thou chylde shalt be called the prophete of the moste hye:
For thou shalt go before hys face, hys wayes to make redie.
For thou shalt go before hys face, hys wayes to make redie.
To geue his people knowledge that they shall theyr soule health wynne:
Only by the forgeuenes of theyr trespasse & their synne.
Only by the forgeuenes of theyr trespasse & their synne.
By the bowelles of the mercie of our God most myghtie:
Where wyth the bryght daye springe hath nowe visited vs from hye.
Where wyth the bryght daye springe hath nowe visited vs from hye.
To shyne to them that sate in deathes shadowe and in dearcknes:
To set our fete strayght in the waye that leadeth vnto peace.
To set our fete strayght in the waye that leadeth vnto peace.
