 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end, Amen.

""

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel : for he hath visited, and redeemed his people.

And hath raised vp a mighty salvation for vs : in the house of his servant David.

As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets : which have been since the world began.

That we should be saved from our enemies : and from the hands of all that hate vs.

To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers : and to remember his holy covenant.

To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham : that he would give vs.

That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies : might serve him without fear.

Jn holines, and righteousnes before him : all the dayes of our life.

And thou child shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest : for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his wayes.

To give knowledge of salvation vnto his people : for the remission of their sins.

Through the tender mercy of our God : whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited vs. To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death : and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
