Neuertheles whyle he thus thought, beholde, the angell of the LORDE appered vnto him in a dreame, saynge: Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is c&obar;ceaued in her, is of þe; holy goost. She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesus. ^noteFor he shall saue his people from their synnes.

All this was done, þt; the thinge might, be fulfilled, which was spoken of the LORDE by the Prophet, saynge: ^note Beholde, a mayde shall be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which is by interpretacion, God &wt; vs.

Now whan Ioseph awoke out of slepe he did as the angell of þe; LORDE bade hym, and toke his wyfe vnto hym, and knewe her not, ^note tyll she had brought forth hir fyrst borne sonne, and called his name Iesus.
