Bvt þe; lorde prepared a greate fyshe /
to swalow vp Ionas. And so was
Ionas in þe; bowels of þe; fish .iij. dayes
∧ .iij. nightes. And Ionas prayed vnto þe;
lord his god out of þe; bowels of the fish.
¶ And he sayde: in my tribulacion I called
vn to the lorde / and he answered me: out of
the bely of hell I cried / &abar;d thou herdest my
voyce. For thou hadest cast me downe depe
in the middes of the se: ∧ the floud c&obar;pased
me aboute: and all thy waues ∧ rowles of
water w&ebar;t ouer me: ∧ I thought þt; I had bene
cast awaye out of thy sight. But I will
yet agayne loke towarde thy holy temple.

The water c&obar;pased me eu&ebar; vn to the very
soule of me: the depe laye aboute me: &abar;d the
wedes were wrappte aboude myne heed.
And I w&ebar;t downe vn to the botome of the
hylles / ∧ was barred in with erth on euery
syde for euer. And yet thou lorde my God
broughtest vp my life agayne out of corrupcion.
When my soule faynted in me / I thought
on the lorde: ∧ my prayer came in vn
to the / euen in to thy holy temple. They þt;
obserue vayne vanities / haue forsak&ebar; him
that was mercifull vn to them. But I wil
sacrifice vn to the with the voce of thankesgeuinge
/ ∧ will paye that I have vowed /
that sauinge cometh of the lorde.
¶ And the lorde spake vn to the fish: and it
cast out Ionas agayne vppon þe; drie lande.
