3 The bigynnyng is with thee in the dai of thi vertu, in the briytnessis of seyntis; Y gendride thee of the wombe before the dai sterre.
4 The Lord swoor, and it schal not repente him; Thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech.

6 He schal deme among naciouns, he schal fille fallyngis; he schal schake heedis in the lond of many men.
7 He dranke of the stronde in the weie; therfor he enhaunside the heed.
