¶ The first Friday in Advent / the▪ Epistle.
¶ The fyrst frydayein Aduent / the▪ Epistle.
Hearken unto me• ye that follow righteousness1 and seek the lord. Look unto the rock ye were cut out / and to the cave and pit ye were digged out. Look unto Abraham your father and unto Sarah that bare you: how I called him only / and blessed him and multiplied him. For the lord hath compassion on Zion and hath compassion on all that is decayed therein / and will make her wilderness as paradise / and her desert as the garden of the lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein / with thanksgiving and the voice of praise. Hearken unto me my people / & turn your ears to me my folk. There shall a law go out from me / and my judgement will I stablish to be a light unto nations. My righteousness is nigh / and my salvation ⟨p. ccclxxxv⟩shall go out / and mine arms shall judge nations / and islands shall look for me & shall tarry after mine arm. Lift up your eyes to heaven and behold the earth beneath. For heaven shall vanish away as smoke / and the earth shall wear away as a vesture / and the in habiters thereof shall perish away after the same manner / but my salvation shall endure ever / & my righteousness shall not perish. Hearken unto me ye that know righteousness and so let the people that have my law in their hearts. Fear not the rebukes of man nether faint for their blasphemies. For worms shall eat them as a garment / and moths shall devour them as it were wool. But my righteousness shall continue ever / and my salvation from generation to generation.
