On the birth of Jesus, the Christ
In the five-thousand, one-hundred and ninety-ninth year from the creation of the world;
In the two-thousand, nine-hundred and fifty-ninth year from the great flood;
In the two-thousand and fifteenth year from the birth of Abraham;
In the one-thousand, five-hundred and tenth year from the going forth of the people of Israel out of Egypt under Moses;
In the one-thousand and thirty-second year from the anointing of David as King;
In the sixty-fifth week according to the prophecy of Daniel;
In the one-hundred and ninety-fourth Olympiad;
In the seven-hundred and fifty-second year from the foundation of the city of Rome;
In the forty-second year of the reign of the Emperor Octavian Augustus;
In the sixth age of the world;
While the whole earth was at peace,
Jesus Christ, Himself Eternal God and Son of the Eternal Father,
being pleased to hallow the world by His most gracious coming,
having been conceived of the Holy Ghost,
and when nine months were passed after His conception,
was born of the Virgin Mary at Bethlehem of Juda, and made Man.
Unto us a child is born. Let earth receive her King!
