3. The way of the Lord to be pre∣pared in them, the mountains there to be removed, and the valleys lifted up there, which is the poor in spirit to be comforted, the rough ways made plain, and the crooked thoughts made streight.
4. Their flesh to be made like grass and toyling; so that all flesh is grass.
5. That the glory of the Lord is to be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the Lord hath spoken it.

with wings like Eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; walk, and not faint.
