Jesus

He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.

And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende.

And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God.

Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her.

And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord.

And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour.

Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts.

Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie

And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her.

And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid,

And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham.

Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare,

All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him.

And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.

That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.

So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.

And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.

And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.

And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,

(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)

And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.

And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,

Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,

Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
