A   And after that Tobias had gotten his sight again, he liued .xlii yeares, and sawe his chylders chyldren. Now wh&ebar; he was an C. ∧ .ii. yeare olde, he dyed: and was buried honorably in Niniue. For when he was sixe ∧ fifty yeares of age, he loste the sight of hys eyes, ∧ when he was thre score yeare olde, he gat hys sight agayn. The residue of hys lyfe led he in ioye, ∧ increased wel in the feare of God, ∧ departed in peace.

B   But in the houre of his death he called vnto hym his sonne Tobias, ∧ seu&ebar; y&obar;ge springaldes his sonnes chyldren, and sayde vnto them: The destruccion of Niniue is at hand, for the worde of the Lorde can not fayle, and our brethren that are scatred out of the lande of Israel, shal come thyther agayne. And the whole lande of it that hath bene waste, shalbe filled: and the house of God that was brente in it, shalbe buylded agayne, and all suche as feare God shall returne thyther: the Heathen also shall forsake their Idols, ∧ come to Hierusalem, ∧ dwell there, and all the kynges of the earth shalbe glad of her, and worship the Lord God of Israel.

C   And therfore my chyldr&ebar;, heare youre father: Serue the Lorde in faythfulnes, seke after hys will, and do the thynge that pleaseth hym.

Heare me therfore my chyldren, and abide not here: but in what day soeuer ye haue buryed youre mother besyde me, get you fr&obar; hence. For I se, that the wyckednesse of it shal bring it to destruccion and ende.
