By Angels was his birth made knowne,
to Shepheards: forthwith they
Found out the Babe, as had beene showne,
and published it with ioy.
The eight day was he circumcis'd,
th••n did the Temple grace him,
Where good old Simon well aduis'd,
and Anne, were glad t'imbrace him.
* 1.2 Out of the East there came from farre,
wise men, him worshipping,
Directed by a speciall starre,
to find out Iudahs king.
They offered gifts, and warned were
by God, in their returne,
To take good heede, and not come neere
king Herod, who did burne
With wrath and enuie for the bruit,
of this great king of kings,
And being mocked sendeth out,
and slew all the sucklings.
God vnto Ioseph warning gaue
to Egypt thence to flye,
The babe and mother there to saue,
from Herods cruelty.
King Herod dead, then hasted he
to Israel againe:
But turn'd aside to Galilee,
because his sonne did raigne,

And all this was for to acquite
the Prophecies of old,
From Egypt and a Nazarite,
to come, he was fore-told
