Ageyn foule ȝabulon, the devyl of helle,
Mannys soule ageyn hym to defens,—
Opyn in the felde the fend he xal felle.
Wherefore I seye quod virgo concipiet
Et pariet filium nomen Emanuel,
Oure lyf for to save he xal suffyr dethe,
And bye us to his blysse in hevyn for to dwelle.
Of sacerdotale lynage, the trewth I ȝow telle,
fflesche and blood to take God wylle be borne;
Joye to man in erth, and in hevyn aungelle
