The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening 'of the prison' to them that are bound;
Þe spirit of þe Lord is on me, for þe Lord anoyntide me; he sente me to telle to mylde men, þat Y schulde heele men contrite in herte, and preche foryyuenesse to caitifs, and openyng to prisoneris; and preche a plesaunt yeer to þe Lord,
