¶ The fyrst Chapter. &cross2; ¶ The genealogye of Chryst, and maryage of hys mother Mary. The angel satysfieth Iosephs mynde.

A   Thys ys þe; booke of the generacyon of Iesus Chryst, &rhand; þe; sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abrah&abar;. noteAbraham begat Isaac. noteIsaac begat Iacob. noteIacob begat Iudas and hys brethren. noteIudas begat Phares and Zaram of Thamar. notePhares begat Esrom. noteEsrom begat Aram. noteAram begat Aminadab. noteAminadab begat Naasson. noteNaasson begat Salmon. noteSalmon begat Boos of Rahab. noteBoos begat Obed of Ruth. noteObed begat Iesse. noteIesse begat Dauid the kynge. noteDauid the kynge begat Salomon, of her that was the wyfe of Urye. noteSalomon begat Roboam. noteRoboam begat Abia. noteAbia begat Asa. noteAsa begat Iosaphat. noteIosaphat begat Ioram. noteIoram begat Osias. noteOsias begat Ioatham. noteIoatham begat Achas. noteAchas begat Ezechias. noteEzechias begat Manasses. noteManasses begat Amon. noteAmon begat Iosias. noteIosias begat Ieconias and hys brethren about the tyme they were caryed awaye to Babylon. And after they were brought to Babylon, note Iechonias begat Salathiel. noteSalathiel begat Zorobabel. noteZorobabel begat Abiud. noteAbiud begat Eliachim. Eliachim begat Azor. Azor begat Sadoc.

And so all the generacyons from Abrah&abar; to Dauid, are fourtene generacy&obar;s. And fr&obar; Dauid vnto the captyuyte of Babylon, are fourtene generacy&obar;s. And from the captiuyte of Babylon vnto Christ, are fourtene generacyons.

C   The byrth of Iesus Chryst was on this wyse. &cross2; When his mother Mary was maryed to Ioseph (before they came to dwell togeather) she was founde with chylde by the holy ghoost. Then Ioseph her husbande (because he was a ryghteous man, and wolde not put her to shame) he was mynded preuely to departe from her. But whyll he thus thought, beholde, the aungell of the Lorde appeared vnto hym in slepe, saying: Ioseph, thou sonne of Dauid: feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is conceaued in her, cometh of the holy ghost. She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal hys name note Iesus. For he shall saue his people from theyr synnes.

D   Al this was done, þt; it might be fulfilled, which was spok&ebar; of the Lord by þe; prophet, saying: note Behold, a mayd shalbe &wt; chylde, ∧ shall bring forth a sonne, ∧ they shall call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interpret, it is asmoch to say as God with vs. &cross3;

And Ioseph as sone as he awoke out of slepe, dyd as the angel of the Lorde had bydden hym: and he toke hys wyfe vnto hym, ∧ knewe her not, tyll she had brought forth note her &rhand; fyrst begotten sonne, and called his name Iesus.
