The .xviij. Chapter.
A prophecye against Egypte.
A Wo be to the land of flieng shippes,
whyche is of thys side the
floude of Ethiopia: whych sendeth
her message ouer the sea in
shyppes of redes vpon the water:
and sayeth: go sone ∧ do youre message
vnto a straunge and harde folke, to a fearful
people, and to a people that is forther then
this: to a desperate and pylled folke, whose
lande is deuyded from vs with riuers of water.
Yea, al ye that syt in the compasse of the
worlde, and dwell vpon the earthe, when
the token shalbe geuen vp&obar; the mountaynes,
then loke vp: ∧ when the horne bloweth, then
herken to,
B for thus hath the Lorde sayde vnto
me. I layde me doune, and pondred the matter
in my house, at the noone day wh&ebar; it was
hote. And there fell a mistynge shower, lyke
a dewe, as it happened in Haruest. But the
frutes were not yet rype cut of, and the grapes
were but younge and grene. Then one
smote of the grapes wyth an hoke, yea he hewed
doune also the bowes and the braunches
and dyd cast them awaye. And thus they
were layde waste, for the foules of the mountaynes,
and for the beastes of the earthe together.
C So that the foules sat there vpon, and
the beastes of the earth wyntered there. Th&ebar;
shall there be a present brought vnto the Lord
of Hostes, euen that harde folke, that fearful
folke, and that forther is then thys: that desperate
and pylled folke (whose lande is deuided
from vs with floudes of water) vnto the
place of the name of the Lorde of Hostes: eu&ebar;
vnto the hyll of Syon.
