accepted tofore God, it was necessary, thou being tempted, that he should prove thee.  And now hath our Lord sent me for to cure thee, and Sara the wife of thy son I have delivered from the devil.  I am soothly Raphael the angel, one of the seven which stand tofore our Lord God.  When they heard this they were troubled, and trembling fell down on their faces upon the ground.  The angel said to them:  Peace be to you, dread you not.  Forsooth I was with you by the will of God, him alway bless ye and sing ye to him, I was seen of you to eat and drink, but I use meat and drink invisible, which of men may not be seen.  It is now therefore time that I return to him which sent me.  Ye alway bless God and tell ye all his marvels.  And when he had said this he was taken away from the sight of them, and after that they might no more see him.  Then they fell down flat on their faces by the space of three hours and blessed God, and arising up they told all the marvels of him.

Then the older Tobit opening his mouth blessed our Lord and said:  Great art thou, Lord, evermore, and thy reign is in to all worlds, for thou scourgest and savest, thou leadest to hell and bringest again, and there is none that may flee thy hand.  Knowledge and confess you to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and in the sight of Gentiles praise ye him.  Therefore he hath disperpled [scattered] you among Gentiles that know him not, that ye tell his marvels, and make them to be known.  For there is none other God Almighty but he; he hath chastised us for our wickedness and he shall save us for his mercy.  Take heed and see therefore what he hath done to us, and with fear and dread, knowledge ye to him, and exalt him king of all worlds in your works.  I soothly in the land of my captivity shall knowledge to him, for he hath showed his majesty into the sinful people.  Confess ye therefore sinners, and do ye justice tofore our Lord by believing that he shall do to you his mercy, aye soothly, and my soul shall be glad in him.  All ye chosen of God, bless ye him and make ye days of gladness and knowledge ye to him.  Jerusalem city of God, our Lord hath chastised thee in the works of his hands, confess thou to our Lord in his good things and bless thou the God of worlds that he may re-edify in thee his tabernacle, and that he may call again to thee all prisoners and them that be in captivity and that thou joy in omnia secula seculorum.  Thou shalt shine with a bright light, and all the ends of the earth shall worship thee.  Nations shall come to thee from far, and bringing gifts shall worship in thee our Lord, and shall have thy land into sanctification.  They shall call in thee a great name, they shall be cursed that shall despise thee, and they all shall be condemned that blaspheme thee.  Blessed be they that edify thee, thou shalt be joyful in thy sons, for all shall be blessed, and shall be gathered together unto our Lord.  Blessed be they that love thee and that joy upon thy peace.
