The VIII. Chapter.
A Now after þt; they had supped, they
brought the y&obar;ge man in to her. Th&ebar;
thought Tobias vpon the wordes
of the angell, and toke out of his bagg a pece
of the leuer of the fish, and layed it vpon
the hote coales. So the angell Raphael toke
holde of the deuell, and sent him awaye,
and bounde him in the wyldernes of the hyer
Egipte. Th&ebar; spake Tobias vnto the virgin,
and sayde: note Vp Sara, let vs make oure prayer
vnto God to daye, tomorow, and ouermorow:
for these thre nightes wil we reconcyle
oure selues with God: and whan the
thirde holy night is past, we shall ioyne together
in þe; deutye of mariage. For we are the
-- --
children of holy men, and we maye not come
together as the Heithen, þt; knowe not God.
B noteThen stode they vp both together, and besought
God earnestly, þt; he wolde preserue
them. And Tobias sayde: O LORDE God of
o&highr; fathers, praysed be thou of heau&ebar; ∧ earth
of the see, welles, ∧ floudes, ∧ of all the creatures that be therin. noteThou maydest Adam of
the moulde of the earth, ∧ gauest him Eua
for an helper. And now LORDE thou knowest
that it is not because of voluptuousnes, that
I take this sister of myne to wyfe, but onely
for the loue of childen, in whom thy name be
blessed for euer. And Sara sayde: haue mercy
vpon vs (O LORDE) haue mercy vpon vs,
and let vs both come whole and sounde to a
good age.
C And aboute the cocke crowe, it happened,
that Raguel called his seruauntes, and
they w&ebar;te with him, to make a graue. For he
sayde: it is chaunced vnto him peradu&ebar;ture,
as it dyd vnto the other seuen men, that wente
in vnto her. Now wh&abar; they had made the
graue, Raguel came agayne to his wyfe,
and sayde vnto her: sende one of thy mayd&ebar;s,
to loke yf he be deed, that I maye burye him
afore it be light daye.
So she sent a mayden to se, which whan
she came in to the chamber, she founde them
whole and sounde, slepynge together. And so
she came agayne, ∧ brought good tydinges.
D Then Raguel and Anna his wife praysed þe;
LORDE, and sayde: Praysed be thou o LORDE
God of Israel, For it is not happened vnto
vs, as we thought. For thou hast dealte mercifully
with vs, and put awaye from vs the
enemye that persecuted vs, and hast shewed
mercy vnto yonder two beloued. O LORDE,
cause th&ebar; to magnifie the more perfectly, and
to offre the the sacrifice of thy prayse, and of
their health: that all people maye knowe, þt;
thou onely art God in all the earth.
E And immediatly Raguel commaunded
his seruauntes, to fyll the graue, that they
had made, with earth, afore it was light: and
bade his wife prepare a feast, ∧ to make ready
all thinges that were necessary for meate,
to soch as wente by þe; waye. He caused two
fatt kyne also and foure wethers to be slayne,
∧ meates to be prepared for all his neghbours
and frendes.
And Raguel charged Tobias, to remayne
with him two wekes. As for all the good þt;
he had, he gaue Tobias þe; one half of it, and
made this wrytinge, that the half which remayned,
shulde fall vnto Tobias after their
death.
