14   that their memorie might be blessed, and their bones spring out of their place,

15   and their name continew for euer, the glorie of the holie men remayning vnto their children.

16   The beloued of our Lord his God

18   And he was knowen faithful in his wordes, because he saw the God of light:

19   and inuocated our Lord omnipotent, in assaulting the enemies besetting him on euerie side, in the oblation of an immaculate lambe.
