¶ The .vj. Chapter.
¶ The cause of the floude. God warneth Noe
of the c&obar;mynge of the floude. The preparynge
of the Arke.
A And it came to passe, that man beganne
to be multiplied in the vpper face
of the erth, and there were daughters
borne vnto th&ebar;. The &rhand; sonnes of God also
sawe the daughters of m&ebar; that they were
fayre, and they toke them wyues from amonge
all þt; they had chosen. And the Lorde
sayde: My sprete shall not allwaye, stryue in
m&abar;, because he is flesh, and hys dayes shalbe
note an hundreth ∧ twentye yeares. But there
were gyauntes in the erth in those dayes: yee
and after that the sonnes of God came vnto
the daughters of men, and they had g&ebar;dred
vnto them, the same became myghtye m&ebar; of
the worlde, and men of renowne.
But God sawe that the malyce of man
was greate in the erth, and all the ymaginacy&obar;
of the thoughtes of hys note hert was onely
euell euery daye. And it &rhand; note repented the
Lorde, that he had made m&abar; in the erth, ∧ he
-- --
Noe
was touched with sorow in his harte. And þe;
Lorde sayde: I wyll (from the vpper face of
the earth) destroye man, whom I haue created:
both man, catel, worme, ∧ foule of þe; ayre,
for it repenteth me þt; I haue made them.
B But Noah founde grace in the eyes of þe;
Lorde: These are þe; generacyons of Noah note
Noah was iust ∧ perfect in his generacions,
and note walked &wt; God. Noah begat thre sonnes:
Sem, Ham, ∧ Iapheth. The earth also
was corrupte before God, ∧ the same earthe
was fylled &wt; crueltye. And God loked vp&obar;
the erth, and beholde it was corrupt: For al
fleshe had corrupt his waye vpon earth.
And God sayde vnto Noah: The ende of
all fleshe is come before me, for the earthe is
fylled with crueltye from the face of them.
And beholde, I wyll destroy them with the
erth, Make the an Arke of pyne trees. Habitacyons
shalt thou make in the Arke, and
shalt pytch it within ∧ without with pytch.
C And of this fasshyon shalt þu; make it. The
lengthe of the Arke shalbe thre hundreth cubytes:
The bredth of it, fyftye cubites, ∧ the
heygth of it thyrtye cubytes. A wyndowe
shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite
shalt thou fynyshe it aboue, but the dore of
the Arke shalte thou set in the syde therof.
With thre loftes one aboue an other shalte
thou make it.
And behode, I, euen I, do bring a floude
of waters vpon the earthe, that I maye destroye
al flesshe wherin is þe; breth of lyfe vnder
heauen: And euery thynge that is in the
earth, shall dye. With the also wyll I make
my note couenaunt, ∧ thou shalte come into the
Arke: thou ∧ thy sonnes, thy wife ∧ thy sonnes
wyues &wt; the.
D And euery lyuing thinge,
and of all flesshe, a payre of euery one shalt þu;
brynge into the Arke, to kepe them alyue &wt;
the. They shalbe male ∧ female. Of fethered
foules also after theyr kynde, ∧ of catell after
theyr kynde, of euery worme of the earth
after his kynde: two of euery one shall come
vnto þe;, that thou mayst kepe them alyue.
And take thou with the of all meate that is
eaten, and thou shalt laye it vp with þe;, that
it maye be meate for the ∧ them. Noah therfore
dyd accordyng vnto all that God commaunded
hym: euen so dyd he.
