That me wolde make Þi messengere
Thy comyng in erth for to crye,
And teche Þi faith to folke in feere;
And sithen before Þe for to dye, 365
And bringe boodworde to þame here,
How þai schulde haue Thyne helpe in hye:
Nowe se I all Þi poyntis appere.
Als Dauid prophete trewe
Ofte tymes tolde vntill vs, 370
Of þis comyng he knewe,
