An bothe weren juste bifore God : goynge in alle the maundementis and justifyingis of the Lord withouten playnt. 3. And thei had den no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn and bothe weren of greet age in her dayes. 4. And it befel that whanne Zacarye schould do the office of presthod in the ordir of his course to fore God. 5. Aftir the custom of the presthod, he went forth by lot and entride into the temple to en- censen. 6. And at the multitude of the puple was with- out forth and preyede in the our of encensying. 7.

And joye and gladyng schal be to thee : and manye schulen have joye in his natyvyte.
