A   Now after that they had supped they brought the yonge m&abar; into her. Th&ebar; thought Tobias vpon the wordes of the aungell, and toke out of his bagge a pece of the leuer of the fysh, and layed it vp&obar; the hote coales. So the aungell Raphaell toke holde of the deuell, &abar;d sent hym awaye and bounde hym in the wyldernes of the hyer Egypte. Then spake Tobias vnto the virgyn, and sayde: Up Sara, let vs make our prayer vnto God to daye, to morow, &abar;d ouermorow: for these thre nyghtes wyl we reconcyle our selues wyth God: and whan the thyrde holy night is past, we shall ioyne together in the dutye of mariage. For we are the chyldren of holy men, and we maye not come together as the Heathen that knowe not God.

B   Then stode they vp both together, and besought God earnestly, that he wolde preserue them. And Tobias sayde: O Lorde God of our fathers, praysed be thou of heauen and earth, of the see, welles &abar;d floudes, &abar;d of all thy creatures that be therin. Thou madest Adam of the ^note moulde of the earth, &abar;d gauest him Eua for an helper. And now Lord thou knowest that it is not because of voluptuousnes, þt; I take this syster of mine to wyfe, but only for the loue of children, in wh&obar; thy name be blessed for euer. And Sara sayd: haue mercy vpon vs (O Lorde) haue mercy vpon vs, and let vs both come whole and sounde together to a good age.

C   And aboute the cock crowynge, it happened, that Raguell called his seruauntes &abar;d they wente with him, to make a graue. For he sayde: it is chaunced now vnto hym peraduenture, as it did vnto the other seu&ebar; m&ebar;, that went in vnto her. Now when they had made þe; graue, Raguel came agayne to hys wyfe, and sayde vnto her: sende one of thy maydens, to loke yf he be deed, that I maye burye him afore it be lyght daye. So she s&ebar;t a mayden to se, which when she came into þe; chamber, founde them whole and sounde, slepyng together. And so she came againe, and brought good tydinges. Then Raguel and Anna hys wyfe praysed the Lord and sayd: Praysed be þu;, O Lorde God of Israell, for it is not happened vnto vs, as we thought. D   For thou hast dealt mercyfully wyth vs, and put awaye fr&obar; vs the enemye that persecuted vs, and hast shewed mercy vnto y&obar;der two beloued. O Lorde, cause th&ebar; to magnifye the more perfectly, &abar;d to offre the sacrifyce of thy prayse, &abar;d of theyr helth: that all people maye knowe, that thou only art God in all the earth.

And immediatly Raguell commaunded hys seruauntes, to fyll the graue, that they had made, wyth earth, afore it was lyght, and bad his wyfe prepare a feast, &abar;d to make readye all thynges that were necessary for meate, to soche as went by the waye. He caused two fat kyne also, ∧ foure wethers to be slayne, and meates to be prepared for all his neyghboures and frendes. And Raguel charged Tobias, to remayne with him two wekes. As for al the good that he had he gaue Tobias the halfe of it, &abar;d made this wrytynge, that the halfe which remayned, shuld fall vnto Tobias after theyr death.
