Old:
"The grace of oure lord / the light of his spirite to se and to iudge / true repentaunce towardes goddis lawe / a fast faith in the mercifull promises that are in oure savioure Christ / fervent love towarde thy neyghboure after the ensample of Christ and his sayntes / be with the o reader and with all that loue the trouth and longe for the redempcion of goddis electe. Amen."
-William Tyndale 1536, from "An answere unto Sir Thomas Mores Dialoge"
New:
May the grace of our Lord,
the light of His Spirit to see and to judge,
true repentance towards God's Law,
a firm trust in the kind Promises that are in our Healer, Jesus Christ,
& an earnest love for your neighbor like Christ & His saints have shown
be with you, dear reader, and with all who love the truth and yearn for when God's chosen people are made new. Amen.
