My soule doth magnyfie the Lorde,

for he hath sene ye lowe degre,
of me his hādmaydē truly
beholde now after this day,
al generacyons shall speake of me,
and cal me blessed alwaye.

For he that is onely of myghte,
Hath done great thynges for me:
And holy is his name by ryghte
As for his endles mercy
It endureth perpetually
In euery generacyon
On them that feare hym vnfaynedly
without dissimulacyon.

He sheweth strength with his great arme
Declaryng hymselfe to be of power
He scatereth the proude to theyr owne harme
Euen with the wicked behauoure
Of theyr owne hertes euery houre
He putteth downe the myghtye
From theyr hye seate and great honoure
Exaltynge them of lowe degre.

The hongrye fylleth he with good
And letteth the ryche go emptie
where his owne people want no foode
He thynketh vpon his mercye
And helpeth his seruaunt truly
Euen Israel as he promysed
Unto oure fathers perpetually
Abraham and to his sede.
