¶ The fyrst frydayein Aduent / the▪ Epistle.
HErken vnto me•• ye that folowe rygh∣teousnes* 1.1 and seke the lorde. Looke vn¦to the rocke ye were cut oute / and to the caue and pit ye were digged oute. Look vn¦to Abraham youre father and vnto Sara that bare you: how I called him onlye / and blessed him and multiplied him. For the lorde hath compassion on Sion and hath compassion on all that is decayed therin / and will make hir wildernes as paradise / and hir deserte as the garden of the lorde. Ioye and gladnes shalbe founde therin / with thankesgeuynge and the voyce of prayse. Herken vnto me my people / & turne youre eares to me my folke. Ther shall a lawe go oute from me / and my iudgement will I stablishe to be a light vnto nacions. My ryghteousnes is nye / and my salvacyon
