Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, ¹quia visit avit & fecit redemptionē plebis suae: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited & redeemed his people. So Simeon that old and holy father, so soon as he beheld Christ, & had received his redeemer into his arms, by and by his heart brake out for joy, & said; Nunc dimittis seruū tuū Domine, ²secundū verbū tuū in pace &c. Now lettest thou thy servant, O Lord, depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have beholden thy salvation, mine eyes have ⟨image 29⟩seen thy Saviour, whom thou hast prepared for all people. Even so in this place the prophet David considering the great mercy that God had showed, the wondrous work that he had then wrought, & how that in his time all the whole people knew Gods way, he said; Laetentur & exultent populi &c: Let the people rejoice & be glad, yea let all the people rejoice, because thou judgest the folk righteously, & governest the nations upon the earth.
