foure kynges agaynste fyue. And þe; vale
of Syddym was full of slyme pyttes.
And the kynge of Sodome and Gomorra
fled, and fell there. And they that remayned,
fled to the mountayne. And they takynge all
the goodes of Sodome and Gomorre and
all their vytalles, w&ebar;t their waye. And they
caryed awaye Lot also Abrams brothers

C brother of Eschol, and brother
of Aner, which were confederate &wt; Abram.
When Abram hearde that hys brother was

borne in hys owne house thre hundred and

And he was sett in Aray vp&obar; th&ebar; by nyght,

pursued them vnto Hoba: which lyeth on the
lefte hande of Damascos, and recouered all

brother Lot, and his goodes, the women
also and the people.
After that he returned agayne from the
slaughter of kedorlaomor ∧ of the kynges þt;

forth to mete him in þe; playne valeye, which
is &rhand; kynges dale.
D And note &rhand; Melchisedech kynge of Sal&ebar;
brought forth bread ∧ wyne. For he was the
Preste of þe; most hyghest God ∧ blessed hym

God possessor of heauen and erth. And blessed

enemyes in to thy hande. And Abram
gaue him tythes of all.
And the kynge of Sodome sayde vnto
Abram: Gyue me the &rhand; soules, and take þe;
goodes to thy selfe. And Abram answered
the kynge of Sodome: I haue lyfte vp my
hande vnto the Lorde the hye God possessor
of heauen and erth, that I wyll not take of
all that is thyne so moche as a thred or shoulachet,
lest thou shuldest saye, I haue made
Abram ryche. Saue only that whyche the
yonge men haue eaten and the partes of the
men which w&ebar;t with me, Aner, Eschol, and
Mamre which shall take their partes.
