Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ The byrth of Iesus Chryst was on this wyse. When his mother Mary was maryed to Ioseph (before they came to dwell togeather) she was founde with chylde by the holy ghoost. ¹⁹ Then Ioseph her husbande (because he was a ryghteous man, and wolde not put her to shame) he was mynded preuely to departe from her. ²⁰ But whyll he thus thought, beholde, the aungell of the Lorde appeared vnto hym in slepe, saying: Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid: feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is conceaued in her, cometh of the holy ghost. ²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal hys name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from theyr synnes. ²² Al this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying: ²³ Behold, a mayd shalbe wt chylde, & shall bring forth a sonne, & they shall call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interpret, it is asmoch to say as God with vs. ²⁴ And Ioseph as sone as he awoke out of slepe, dyd as the angel of the Lorde had bydden hym: and he toke hys wyfe vnto hym, ²⁵ & knewe her not, tyll she had brought forth her fyrst begotten sonne, and called his name Iesus.
