At the &#383;ame tyme beganne men to call vpon the name of the LORDE. undefined undefined His is the boke of the generacion of man, in the tyme whan God created man, and made him after the &#383;ymilitude of God. Male and female made he them, and bleſſed thē, ⁊ called their names Man, in the tyme whan they were created. And Adam was an hundreth and thirtie yeare olde, and begat a ſonne, which was like his owne ymage, and called his name Seth: ⁊ lyued therafter eight hu&#772;dreth yeare, and begat &#383;onnes and doughters. And his whole age was nyne hundreth and thirtie yeares, and &#383;o he dyed.

And his whole age was nyene hu&#772;dreth and twolue yeares, and &#383;o he dyed. undefined Enos was nyentie yeare olde, and begat Renan: and lyued therafter eight hundreth ⁊ fyftene yeare, and begat &#383;onnes ⁊ daughters. And his whole age was nyene hu&#772;dreth and fyue yeares, and &#383;o he dyed.

Mahalaliel was thre &#383;core yeare olde ⁊ fyue, and begat Jared: and lyued therafter eight hundreth and thirtie yeare, and begat &#383;onnes and doughters. And his whole age was eight hundreth, nyentie and fyue yeares, and &#383;o he dyed. undefined Jared was an hundreth and two ⁊ &#383;ixtie yeare olde, and begat Henoch: ⁊ lyued therafter eight hu&#772;dreth yeare, and begat &#383;onnes ⁊ doughters. And his whole age was nyene hundreth and two and &#383;ixtie yeare, and &#383;o he dyed.

Henoch was fyue and thre &#383;core yeare olde, and begat Mathu&#383;alah: and led a godly conuer&#383;acion thre hundreth yeares therafter, and begat &#383;onnes ⁊ doughters. And his whole age was thre hundreth and fyue and thre &#383;core yeares. And for &#383;o moch as he lyued a godly life, God toke him awaye, ⁊ he was nomore &#383;ene.

Mathu&#383;ala was an u&#772;hdreth ⁊ &#383;eue&#772; and foure &#383;core yeare olde, ⁊ begat Lamech: and lyued therafter &#383;euen hundreth and two and foure &#383;core yeare, and begat &#383;onnes ⁊ doughters. And his whole age was nyene hundreth and nyene and tre &#383;core yeares, and &#383;o he dyed.

Lamech was an hundreth and two and foure &#383;core yeare olde, and begat a &#383;onne, ⁊ called him Noe, and &#383;ayde: This &#383;ame &#383;hall co&#772;forte vs in oure workes, and in the &#383;orowe of oure hondes vpon the earth, which the LORDE hath cur&#383;ed. After this he lyued fyue hu&#772;dreth and fyue ⁊ nyentie yeare, and begat ſonnes and doughters. And his whole age was an hundreth &#383;euen and &#383;euentie yeares, and ſo he dyed.

Noe was fyue hundreth yeare olde, and begat Sem, Ham, and Japhet. undefined undefined O whan men beganne to multiplie vpon the earth, and had begot them doughters, the children of God &#383;awe the doughterss of men, that they were fayre, and toke vnto the&#772; wyues &#383;och as they liked. Then ſayde ye LORDE: My &#383;prete &#383;hal not allwaye &#383;tryue with man, for he is but fleſh alſo. I wil yet geue him re&#383;pyte an hundreth and twe&#772;ty yeares. There were giauntes alſo in the worlde at that tyme. For whan the children of God had lyen with the daughters of men, and begotten them children, ye ſame(children) became mightie in the worlde, and men of renowne. undefined But whan the LORDE &#383;awe yt the wickednes of man was increaſed vpon ye earth, and that all ye thought and imaginacion of their hert was but onely euell contynually, it repented him, that he had made man vpon the earth, and he ſorowed in his hert, and ſayde: I wyll de&#383;troye man kynde which I haue made, from the earth: both man, bee&#383;t, worme, and foule vnder the heauen: for it repenteth me, that I haue made them. Neuertheles Noe founde grace in the &#383;ight of the LORDE.

This is ye generacion of Noe. Noe was a righteous and parfecte ma&#772;, and led a godly life in his tyme, and begat thre &#383;onnes: Sem, Ham and Japhet. Notwith&#383;tondinge ye earth was corrupte in ye ſight of God, and full of my&#383;chefe. Then God loked vpon ye earth: and lo, it was corrupte(for all fle&#383;h had corrupte his waye vpon the earth.) undefined Then &#383;ayde God vnto Noe: Then ende of all fle&#383;h is come before me, for the earth is full of my&#383;chefe before them. And lo, I wyll deſtroye them with the earth. Make the an Arcke of Pyne tre, and make chambers in it,
