I have not hid thy righteousnesse within my heart, but have declared thy righteousnesse to the great congregation.
Heare, O yee heavens, and I shall speake, and let the earth heare the words of my mouth, for I will publish the name of the Lord, and ascribe honour unto our God.
Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abra∣ham; and whosoever amongst you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Come yee children, and hearken unto mee, and I will teach you the feare of the Lord.
O praise the Lord with mee, and let us magnifie his name together.
