6 And bothe weren juste bifore God, goynge in alle the is of the Lord, withouten playnt

7 And thei hadden no child, for Elizabeth was bareyn; and bothe weren of greet age in her dayes

8 And it befel that whanne Zacarye schould do the office of presthod in the ordir of his course to fore God,

9 Aftir the custom of the presthood, he wente forth by lot, and entride into the temple to encensen
