Daniel, fulfilled with heavenly grace,

Prophesied also by divine inspiration,

That when he was came, that all holy was,

The most holiest in earth, to take his habitation

In the womb of a virgin, and by his blessed incarnation

Out of Satan’s band to deliver mankind,

Whom sin original piteously did bind,

Then both unctions, sacrifices and rites ceremonial

Of the Old Testament with legal observation,

Shall utterly cease and take their end final,

Through Christ’s coming which for man’s salvation

A New Testament shall ordain by divine operation

Offering himself in Sacrifice for mankind’s offence,

Which from Heaven was exiled through his great negligence.
