3 As by the mouth of those that were his holy prophets than, Which have among his people been ev'n since the world began.

4 That we should be saved from our ene∣mies, and from the hand of all that ha•…•… us.

4 That from those that our enemies are we should be saved heer; And likewise from the hand of all that hatred to us bear.

5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant.

5 The mercies promisd to perform unto our fathers ever, And als his holy Covenant made with them to remember.

6 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

7 That he would grant unto us, that we be∣ing delivered out of the hands of our enemies,

6 The oath which unto Abraham our father then he sware▪ 7 That he would grant that we from those sav'd that our enemies are,

9 And thou childe shalt he called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his wayes;

9 And thou O child shalt called be the Highests prophet rare. For thou before the Lord shalt go, his wayes for to prepare.

10 That so he might the knowledge give of his salvation Unto his people, by their sins most free remission.

11 Through the tender mercie of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high hath vi∣sited us,

11 Ev'n through the mercy of our God that tender is, whereby Us on the earth hath visited the DAY-SPRING from on hy.

12 To give light to them that sit in dark∣nesse, and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

12 To light them that in darknesse sit, and in death shade abide, Into the way of holy peace our feet there for to guide.
