¶ The .lxij. Chapter. ¶ A prophecy of the commynge of Chryst.

A   For Sions sake therfore wyll I not holde my tunge, and for Ierusalems sake I will not ceasse: vntyll their righteousnes breake forth as the shynynge lyght, and their saluacyon as a burnynge lampe. Then shall the G&ebar;tiles se thy ryghteousnes, and all kynges thy glory. Thou shalt be named with a note newe name, which the mouth of þe; Lord shall shewe. Thou shalt be a crowne in the hande of the Lorde, and a gloryous garlande in the hande of thy God. B   Fr&obar; thys tyme forth thou shalt neuer be called þe; forsaken, and thy lande shall nomore be called þe; wildernesse. But þu; shalt be called: &rhand; My pleasure is in her, ∧ thy lande shalbe called: the maryed woman: for the Lord loueth the, ∧ thy lande shalbe ioyned in mariage. noteAnd lyke as a y&obar;ge m&abar; taketh a daughter to mariage, so shall thy sonnes be maryed vnto þe;.

-- --

And as a bryde grome is glad of hys bryde, so shall thy God reioyse ouer the.

C   I haue set &rhand; watchmen vpon thy walles (O Ierusalem) which shall nether ceasse daye nor night to preache the Lorde. And ye also that rem&ebar;bre the Lorde ye shall not kepe him close, nor leaue to speake of him, vntyll Ierusal&ebar; be sett vp, ∧ made the prayse of the worlde. The Lord hath sworne by his right hande ∧ by his stronge arme, that from h&ebar;ce forth he wyll not geue thy corne to be meate for thyne enemyes, ner thy vyne (wherin þu; hast laboured) to be drincke for the straungers. But they that haue gathered in the corne, shall eate it, ∧ geue thanckes to the Lord: ∧ they þt; haue borne in the wyne, shall drinck it in the court of my Sanctuary.

D   Go you, go you thorowe the gatis, make cleane the way, make playne, make playne þe; fote pathe, ∧ take awaye þe; stones, out of yt ∧ set out a token for the people. Beholde, the Lord proclameth vnto þe; endes of þe; worlde: note tell the daughter Syon: se, thy sauyour c&obar;meth, beholde, he bringeth his treasure with him, ∧ his worckes go before him. For they wh&obar; þe; Lord delyuereth, shalbe called þe; note holy people: ∧ as for the: thou shalt be named þe; greatlye occupyed, ∧ not the forsaken cytie:
