hadde herd, and Thobias, and Gosem
Arabs, and oure othere enemys, that I
hadde bild the wal, and ther was not
in it laft brosure among; forsothe vnto
that time I hadde not put &yogh;ate leues in

2 Sanaballath, and Thobias, and
Gosem Arabs senten to me, seiende,
Cum, and smite wee pes couenaunt togidere

3 Thanne I sente to hem messageris,
seiende, A gret werc I do, and I mai not

5 And Sanaballath sente to me after the
-- --
rathere woord the fifte sithe his child;
and he hadde a lettre in his hond writen
in this maner;
6 In Gentilis it is herd, and
Gosem seide, for thou and the Jewis

11 And I seide, Whethir any

12 And I vnderstod that God hadde
