note let not youre hartes faynte, nether feare,
nor be amased nor adread of them. For the
note Lord youre God goeth &wt; you, to fighte for
you agaynste youre enemyes, ∧ to saue you.
B And let the offycers speake vnto the people,

noteAnd yf any m&abar; be betrauthed vnto a wyfe,
and haue not taken her, let him go and returne

warre agaynste þe;, thou shalt besege it. And
when the Lorde thy God hath delyuered it
into thyne handes, thou shalt smyte all the
males therof wyth the edge of the swerde:
But the wemen and the chyldren, note and the

Cananites, the Pherezites, the Heuites, and
the Iebusites, as the Lorde thy God hath c&obar;maunded
the, that they teache you not to do
after all their abhominacyons, whych they
haue done vnto their goddes, ∧ so ye shulde

When thou hast beseged a cytie longe tyme,
and made warre agaynst it to take it,
destroye not the trees therof, that thou woldest
thrust an axe vnto them: But eate of
them, and cut them not downe. For the trees
of the feldes are no men, to come agaynst the
and so besege the. Onely those trees whych
thou knowest that they are not frutefull.
(But wylde, and fytt for other vses) those shalt thou
destroye and cutt downe, ∧ make bulworkes
agaynst the cytie that maketh warre wyth
the, vntyll thou subdue it.
