The fyrst Chapter.
¶ Howe heauen and earth, the lyght, the fyrmam&ebar;t,
the sunne, the moone, the starres, and all beastes,
foules, and fisshes in the see were made by the worde
of God. And howe man also was created.
A In the begynnynge note God
created heauen and earthe.
The earth was voyde and
emptye: and darcknes was
&club; vpon the face of the depe:
and the sprete of God moued
&club; vpon the face of the
waters. And God sayde: let there be made
lyght, and there was light made. And God
sawe the light that it was good. And God
made a diuision betwene the light and darknesse.
And God called the light, daye: and
the darknesse called he, nyght. And the euenyng
and the morning was made one daye.
And God sayde: let there be a firmam&ebar;t
betwene the waters: and let it make a diuision
betwene waters and waters. And God
made the firmament, and set a diuision betwene
the waters which were vnder the firmam&ebar;t
and the waters that were aboue the
firmament. And it was so. And God called
the firmament, Heauen. The euenynge also
and the mornyng was made the sec&obar;d daye.
And God sayde: note let the waters vnder
heauen be gathered together into one place,
that the drye lande maye be sene. And so it
came to passe. And God called the drye l&abar;de
Earth: and the gatheryng together of waters
called he the sees. And God sawe that
it was good.
B And God sayde: let the earth bring forth
grene herbe, which maye engendre seed: and
frutefull tre, yeldyng frute after hys kynde,
whose seed maye be in it self vpon the earth.
And it came to passe. And the earth brought
forth grene herbe, makynge seede after hys
kynde: and tree yeldynge frute, whose seed
was in it selfe after hys kynde. And God
sawe that it was good. The euenynge also
and the mornynge was made the thyrde
daye. And God sayde: note let there be made
lyghtes in the firmament of heauen: and let
them make a difference betwene the daye
and the nyght, and let them be &rhand; vnto signes,
and vnto appoynted seasons, and vnto
dayes, and vnto yeares. And let them be
vnto lyghtes in the firmament of heauen,
that they maye geue lyght vpon the earthe.
And so it came to passe.
And God made note two greate lyghtes: a
greater lyght to rule the daye, ∧ a lesse lyght
to rule the night (And he made) sterres also.
And God set them in the firmament of heauen,
that they myght geue lyght vpon the
earth, and that they might rule the daye and
the night: and to make a difference betwene
the lyght and the darknes. And God sawe
that it was good. The euenyng also and the
mornyng was made the fourth daye.
C And God sayde: note let the waters bryng
forth mouynge creature that hath lyfe, and
foule that maye flye vpon the earth in the
face of the firmament of heauen. And God
created great whalles and euery lyuing and
mouyng creature, which þe; waters brought
forth after their kynde: and euery fethered
foule after their kynde. And God sawe that
it was good. And God &rhand; blessed them,
sayinge: Growe ∧ increace and fyll the waters
of the see: and let fethred foules be multiplyed
in the earth. The euenynge also and
the mornyng was made the fyfth daye.
And God sayde: let the earth bring forth
lyuing creature after his kynde: catell, worme
and beast of the erth after his kynde: and
so it came to passe. And God made the beast
of the earth after his kynde, and catell after
their kynde: and euery thynge that crepeth
vpon the earth after his kynde. And God
sawe that it was good.
D And God sayde: let vs make man &club; in
oure ymage after oure lycknes, and let them
haue rule of the fysh of the see: and foule of
the ayre and catell, and all the earth, and of
euery crepyng thyng that crepeth vpon the
erth. And so God created man in his awne
ymage: in the note &rhand; ymage of God created
he hym, note male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God sayd vnto
them: Growe and increace and replenyshe
the erth, and subdue it: and haue note dominion
of the fish of the see, and foule of the aire: and
of euery lyuing thyng that moueth vp&obar; the
earth. And God sayde: Beholde, I haue geuen
you euery herbe sowynge seed, which is
in the vpper face of all the earth: and euery
tre in the which is the frute of tree, and that
soweth seed, that they maye be meate vnto
you. To euery beast of the earth also, and to
euery byrde of the ayre, and to euery suche
thinge as crepeth vpon the earth (wherin is
a lyuing &rhand; soule (I haue geu&ebar; all grenenes
of herbe to be meat. And it came so to passe.
And God sawe euery thyng þt; he had made,
note and beholde, it was exceading good. The
euenyng also and the mornynge was made
the syxth daye.
