6 Rich men in force studying beautifulnes: liuing at peace in
their houses.
7 Al these in the generations of their nation
haue obteyned glorie, and in their daies are praised.
8 They
that were borne of them haue leaft a name to tel their praises:
9 and there are some of whom there is no memorie: they are
perished, as they that neuer were; & are borne, as not borne at
al, & their children with them.
10 But they are men of mercie,
whose godlie deedes haue not failed:
11 good thinges continew
with their seede,
12 their nephewes are an holie inheritance,
and their seede hath stoode in the testamentes:
13 and
their children because of them abide for euer: their seede and
their glorie shal not be forsaken.
14 Their bodies are buried
in peace, and their name liueth vnto generation and generation.

of the world were made with him, that al flesh should no
more be destroyed with the flood.
20 Abraham the great
note father of the multitude of the nations, and there was not
found the like to him in glorie, who kept the law of the

faithful.
22 Therefore by an oath he gaue him glorie in his
nation, that he should encrease as an heape of earth,
23 and
that he would exalt his seede as the starres, and they should
inherite from sea to sea, and from the riuer to the endes of the
earth.
24 And he did in like manner in Isaac for Abraham his

25 Our Lord gaue him the note blessing of al nations, and
confirmed his couenant vpon the head of Iacob.
26 He knew
him in his blessinges, and gaue him an inheritance, & diuided
him his portion in twelue tribes.
27 And he preserued vnto
him men of mercie, and found grace in the eies of al flesh.
