C   Then cryed the children of Israel vnto the LORDE, and sayde: We haue synned agaynst the, for we haue forsaken oure God, ∧ serued Baalim. But the LORDE sayde vnto the childr&ebar; of Israel: Did not the Egipci&abar;s, the Amorites, the children of Ammon, þe; Philistines, the Sidonians, the Amalechites and Maonites oppresse you, and I helped you out of their hande, whan ye cryed vnto me? Yet haue ye forsaken me, and serued other goddes? Therfore wyll I helpe you nomore note Go youre waye, and crye vpon the goddes whom ye haue chosen, let them helpe you in the tyme of youre trouble.

D   But the childr&ebar; of Israel sayde vnto the LORDE: We haue synned, do thou vnto vs what pleaseth the, onely delyuer vs at this tyme. And they put the straunge goddes fr&obar; them, and serued the LORDE, And his soule had pytie on the mysery of Israel.

And þe; people of the chefest of Gilead sayde am&obar;ge them selues: Who so euer begynneth to fight agaynst the children of Ammon, shalbe heade ouer all them that dwell in Gilead.
