possible to improve on the
tseuuenem sccm is ocscnoea in
the Gospel accordtog to St Luke:
And it cnme to pass in tome
days, that there west out a decree
world should be taxed.
(And this laying was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria).
And all went to he taxed, every
one toto his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judea, onto the
city of David, winch is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of
the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being greet with
child.
And so it, was that, while they
were there, the days were ac
complished that she should be
delivered.
And she brought forth her first
born son and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger because there was no
room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field keeping watch over their
flock by night.
And, k>, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them.
Fear Not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people.
For unto you is boro this day in
the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
And tins shall be a sign unto
you: Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying.
Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men.
And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven the shephenfc said one
to another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is to come to pass, which the
Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying to a manger.
And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the saying
wnicn was iota mem concerning
this child.
And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things
and pondered them to her heart.
