Our Souls do magnify thee O Lord! Our spirits rejoice 1in God our Saviour, who remembered us in our Low, and lost Estates, for his mercy endureth for ever. By one man sin entered into the World, and death by sin: We kept not the Covenant of God, and refused to walk in his Law: For all have Sinned and come short of the Glory of God, and Judgement came upon all men to Condemnation. But Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised up a mighty Salvation for us in the House of his servant David: As he spake by the Mouth of his Holy Prophets: which have been since the World began: A Virgin hath conceived and brought forth: The Holy Ghost did come upon her; the power of the Highest did over-shadow her, therefore the Holy one that is born of her, is called; the Son of God: ⟨p. 98⟩2His name is called Jesus, for he saveth his people from their sins: 3To us is born a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. He is the Image of the Invisible God: The first born of every Creature, 4for by him All things are created that are in Heaven and in Earth, 5visible and invisible; whether Thrones or Dominions, or Principalities or Powers; All things were Created by him and for him, and he is before all things, and by him all things do consist. He is the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God: The true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world; The Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, and men beheld his Glory, 6as the Glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of Grace 7and Truth: For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. When the fullness of time was come, God sent his 8Son made of a Woman, made under the Law, to redeem them that are under the Law. This is the beloved Son, in whom the 9Father is well pleased. For such a high Priest became us, who is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, separate from sinners, he did 10no sin, neither was there any guile found in his mouth, when he 11was reviled, he reviled not again, leaving us an Ensample; Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the Tree. For 12God laid on him the Iniquity of us all, and by his stripes we are 13healed. When we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly, the just for the unjust, In this was manifest the Love of God towards us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the World, that we might live by him.
