The i. boke of Mo&The iij Chap. Fo. ij. of good and euell, ſhalt thou not eate. For loke in what daye ſo euer thou eateſt therof, thou ſhalt dye the death. And the LORDE God &#383;ayde: It is not good yt ſhulde be alone. I wil make him an helpe, to beare him co&#772;pany. And whan God the LORDE had made of the earth all maner bea&#383;tes of the felde, ⁊ all maner foules vnder the heaue&#772;, he brought them vnto man, to &#383;e what he wolde call the&#772;: For as ma&#772; called all maner of liuinge ſoules, ſo are their names. And man gaue names vnto all maner cattell, ⁊ vnto the foules vnder the heaue&#772;, and vnto all maner bea&#383;tes of ye felde. But vnto man there was founde no helpe, to beare him company. undefined Then the LORDE God cau&#383;ed an herde &#383;lepe to fall vpon man, and he &#383;lepte. And he toke out one of his rybbes, and(in &#383;teade therof) he fylled vp ye place with fle&#383;h. And the LORDE God made a woman, of ye rybbe that he toke out of man, and brought her vnto him. Then &#383;ayde man: This is once bone of my bones, and fleſh of my fleſh. She ſhalbe called woman, becauſe ſhe was take&#772; of man. For this cauſe ſhal a man leaue father and mother, and cleue vnto his wife, ⁊ they two &#383;halbe one fleſh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not aſhamed. undefined undefined Ut the ſerpent was &#383;otyller then all the bea&#383;tes of the felde(which ye LORDE God had made) and &#383;ayde vnto the woman: Yee, hath God &#383;ayde in dede: Ye ſhall not eate of all maner trees in the garden? Then ſayde the woman vnto the &#383;erpent: We eate of the frute of the trees in the garden: But as for the frute of the tre that is in the myddes of the garden, God hath &#383;ayde: Eate not ye of it, and touch it not, le&#383;t ye dye.

Then &#383;aide the ſerpente vnto the woman: Tuſh, ye ſhall not dye the death. For God doth knowe, that in what daye ſo euer ye eate of it, youre eyes ſhalbe opened, and ye ſhal be as God, and knowe both good and euell. And the woman ſawe that ye tre was good to eate of, and lu&#383;tye vnto the eyes, and a pleaſaunt tre to make wy&#383;e, and toke of the frute of it, and ate, and gaue vnto hir huſbande alſo therof, and he ate. Then were the eyes of them both opened, and they perceaued that they were naked, and &#383;owed fygge leaues together, and made them apurns. undefined And they herde the voyce of the LORDE God, which walked in the garden in the coole of the daye. And Adam hyd him ſelf with his wyfe, from the pre&#383;ence of ye LORDE God amonge the trees of the garden. And ye LORDE God called Adam, and ſayde vnto him: Where art thou: And he ſaide: I herde thy voyce in the garden, and was afrayed, becauſe I am naked, and therfore I hyd my&#383;elf. And he ſayde: who tolde the, that thou art naked: Ha&#383;t thou not eaten of the tre, wherof I commaunded the, yt thou ſhulde&#383;t not eate? undefined Then ſayde Adam: the woman which thou gaue&#383;t me(to beare me company) gaue me of the tre, and I ate. And the LORDE God &#383;ayde vnto the woman: wherfore ha&#383;t thou done this? The woman ſayde: the &#383;erpent diſceaued me ſo, that I ate. Then ſayde the LORDE God vnto the ſerpent: Becau&#383;e thou ha&#383;t done this, curſed be thou aboue all catell and aboue all bea&#383;tes of the felde. Vpon thy bely &#383;halt thou go, ⁊ earth ſhalt thou eate all the dayes of thy life. And I wyll put enemyte betwene the and the woman, and betwene yi &#383;ede and hir &#383;ede.* The ſame ſhal treade downe thy heade, and thou ſhalt treade him on the hele.

And vnto the woman he ſayde: I will increa&#383;e thy &#383;orow, whan thou art with childe: with payne ſhalt thou beare thy childre&#772;, and thy lu&#383;t ſhal pertayne vnto yi hu&szlig;bande, and he &#383;hal rule the.

And vnto Adam he &#383;ayde: For &#383;o moch as
