Of the following verfion of the gofpels the age is not certainly known, but it was probably written between the time of Alfred and that of the Norman conqueft, and therefore may properly be inferted here. Tranflations feldom afford jufl fpecimens of a lan¬ guage, and leafl of all thofe in which a fcrupulous and verbal interpretation is endeavoured, becaufe they retain the phraleology and ftrudlure of the original tongue j yet they have often this convenience, that the fame book, being tranflated in different ages, affords oppor¬ tunity of marking the gradations of change, and bring¬ ing one age into comparifon with another. For this purpofe I have placed the Saxon verfion and that of Wickliffe, written about the year 1380, in oppofite co¬ lumns ; becaufe the convenience of eafy collation Teems greater than that of regular chronology.

T N the dayes of Eroude kyng of Judee ther was a prefl Zacarye by name : of the fort of Abia, and his wyf was of the doughtris of Aaron : and hir name was Elizabeth. 2 An bothe weren jufle bifore God: goynge in alle the maundementis and juftifyingis of the Lord with- outen playnt. 3 And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn and bothe weren of greet age in her dayes. 4 And it bifel that whanne Zacarye fchould do the office of preflhod in the ordir of his courfe to fore God. 5 Aftir the cuftom of the preflhod, he wente forth by lot and entride into the temple to encenfen. 6 And at the multitude of the puple was without forth and preyede in the our of encenfyino-. 7 And an aungel of the Lord apperide&to him : and flood on the right ha f of the auter of encenfe. 8 And Zacarye feynge was afrayed : and drede fe! upon him. 9 And the aungel fayde to him, Zacarye drede thou ' not : for thy preier is herd, and Elizabeth thi wif fchal bere to thee a fone : and his name fchal be clepid Jon. 10 And joye and gladyng fchal be to thee: and manye fchulen have joye in his natyvyte. 11 For he fchal be great bifore the Lord : and he fchal not dnnke wyn ne fydyr, and he fchal be fulfild with the holy gofl yit of his modir wombe. 12 And he fchal converte manye of the children of Ifrael to her Lord God. 1 3 And he fchal go bifore in the fpiryte and vertu of Idelye : and he fchal turne the hertis of the fadris to the foms, and men out ot beleeve : to the prudence of iult men, to make redy a perfyt puple to the Lord.
