"35. And the angel answered and said unto her, 'The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God.
"36. 'And, behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son
in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called
barren.
"37. 'For with God nothing shall be impossible.'
"38. And Mary said, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
according to thy word.' And the angel departed from her.
"39. And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill-country with
haste, into a city of Juda.
"40. And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
"41. And it came to pass, that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of
Mary, the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Ghost.
"42. And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, 'Blessed art thou
among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.'
"43. 'And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come
to me?'
"44. 'For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine
ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.'
"45. 'And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance
of those things which were told her from the Lord.'
"46. _And Mary said, 'My soul doth magnify the Lord.'_
"47. '_And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.'_
"48. '_For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
behold, from henceforth all generations shall-call me blessed.'_
"49. '_For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy, it
his name.'_
"50. '_And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
generation._
"51. "_He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud
in the imagination of their hearts._
"52. '_He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of
low degree.'_
"53. '_He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath
sent empty away.'_
"54. '_He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
mercy.'_
"55. '_As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
ever.'_
"56. '_And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her
own house._"
The whole of the foregoing matter, as well that taken from Matthew as
that from Luke, is rejected by the Unitarians as spurious. This sect,
which is every day increasing, contains, and has long contained, many
very learned men; and these men have for the use of the sect made a new
translation of the Testament, which is published under the title of "The
New Testament, in an improved Version," &c.
