That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear;

:

:

In holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God: whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us;

To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations.

He hath showed strength with his arm he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel: as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.

6. The same change is made in the rubric before the Apostles' Creed as in Morning Prayer; and the word again is inserted in the Creed, so that the latter part
