Thou shalt be named with a new name, which the mouth of ye LORDE shal shewe.³ Thou shalt be a crowne in the honde of the LORDE, and a glorious garlade in the hode of thy God.⁴ From this tyme forth thou shalt neuer be called the forsake, & thy lode shal nomore be called the wildernesse.

¹⁰ Stode back, & departe a sunder, ye yt stonde vnder ye gate, make rowme ye people, repayre the strete, & take awaye ye stones, & set out a toke for the people.¹¹ Beholde, ye LORDE proclameth in the endes of the worlde: tel ye doughter Sio: se, thy Saluacio cometh, beholde, he bringeth his treasure wt him, & his workes go before him.¹² For they who ye LORDE delyuereth, shalbe called the holy people: & as for the, thou shalt be named the greatly occupied, and not the forsaken.
