¶ On candlemas daye. The epistle.
Behold / I send my messenger which1 shall prepare the way before me. And suddenly shall the Lord whom ye seek / come unto his temple / & the messenger of the ⟨image 418⟩covenant whom ye desire. Behold / he cometh saith the lord Sabaoth. Who shall endure in the day of his coming / or who shall stand to behold him? For he is as trying fire and as the herb that fullers scour withal. And he shall sit trying and purging silver / and shall purify the sons of levi / and shall fine them as gold and silver. And they shall bring offering unto the lord of righteousness. And the sacrifice of Judah and of Jerusalem shall be delicious unto the lord as in the old time and in the years that were at the beginning.
BEholde / I sende my messenger which1 shall prepare the waye before me. And sodenly shall the Lorde whome ye seke / come vnto his temple / & the messenger of the ⟨image 418⟩couenaunt whome ye desyer. Beholde / he commeth sayth the lorde Sabaoth. Who shall endure in the daye of his commynge / or who shall stonde to beholde him? For he is as tryinge fyer and as the erbe that fullers scoure withall. And he shall syt tryenge and purgynge syluer / and shall purifie the sonnes of leui / and shall fyne them as gold and syluer. And they shall brynge offerynge vnto the lorde of ryghteousnes. And the sacrifice of Iuda and of Ierusalem shalbe delycious vnto the lorde as in the olde tyme and in the yeres that were at the begynnynge.
