n the house of
his servant David;

As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets: which have been
since the world began;

That we should be saved from our enemies: and from the hands of
all that hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember
his holy covenant;

To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham: that
he would give us;

That we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies: might
serve him without fear;

In holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of our life.

And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: for
thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission
of their sins;

Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from
on high hath visited us;

To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of
death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.

_Or this Psalm_,

Psalm c.

O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with
gladness, and come before his presence with a song.

Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us,

O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of
his Name.

For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth
endureth from generation to generation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.

_Then shall be sung or said the Apostles Creed, by the Minister
and the people standing: Except only such days as the Creed of
Saint Athanasius is appointed to be read_.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; The ho
