For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage.
But our ancestors had been told in advance of what would happen that night, so that they would be cheered and encouraged by confident trust in your promises to them.
That night was known beforehand to our ancestors, so that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith, they might have courage.
