¶ The .xvi. Chapter. ¶ Sarai geueth Abram leaue to take Agar her mayde to wyfe. Agar despysed her maistres for whych she was euyll intreated of Sarai, and therfore runneth away. The angel meting hir, c&obar;maundeth her to turne agayne and doth promyse her sede. And nameth her fyrste chylde Ismael.

A   Sarai Abrams wyfe bare hym no chyldren. But she had an hand mayd an Egypti&abar;, whose name was Hagar. Wherfore she sayd vnto Abram: Beholde the Lord hath closed me, that I can not bere. I praye the05Q0044 go in vnto my mayde, peraduenture I shal be multiplyed by meanes of her. And Abram heard the voyce of Sarai. Th&abar; Sarai Abrams wyfe toke Hagar her mayd the Egyptian (after Abram had dwelled .x. yere in the land of Canaan) ∧ gaue her to hyr husbond Abram to be his wyfe.

And he went in vnto Agar, ∧ she conceyued. And when she sawe that she had conceyued: her mastresse was despysed in her syght. B   Than sayde Sarai vnto Abram: Thou dost me vnryghte, for I haue geuen my mayd into thy05Q0045 bosome: and nowe because she seeth that she hath conceyned, I am despysed in her syghte: the Lorde iudge betwene the and me. Than sayde Abram to Sarai: beholde, thy mayde is in thy hande, do wyth her as it pleaseth the.

And because Sarai fared foule with her, she fled from her. And the Angell of the lord found her besyde a fountayn of water in the wildernes: eu&ebar; by a well in the way to Sur. And he sayde: Hagar Sarais mayde, wh&ebar;ce comest thou ∧ whether wylt thou goo? And she answered: I flee from my mastresse Sarai. And the Angell of the Lorde sayde vnto her: returne to thy mastresse agayne, ∧ submytte thy self vnder her handes.

C   And the angell of the lorde sayd vnto hir: I wyll so encrease thy seed, that it shall not be nombred for multitude. And the Lordes angell sayde further vnto her: se, thou art &wt; chylde ∧ shalt bere a sonne, ∧ shalt call hys note name Ismael: because the Lord hath herde thy trybulacion. He wyll be a wylde man, ∧ hys hande wyl be agaynst euery m&abar;, ∧ euery mans hande agaynst hym. And yet shall he dwel faste by al hys brethren. D   And she called the name of the Lorde that spake vnto her: thou art the God that lokest on me, for she sayd: I haue of a suertie sene here the05Q0046 backe partes of hym that seeth me. Wherfore she called the well, the well of the lyuynge that seyth me whych well is betwene Cades and Bared. And Hagar bare Abram a sonne, and Abram called his sons name whyche Hagar bare Ismael. And Abram was .lxxxvi. yere olde, when Hagar bare him Ismael.
