The i. boke of Mo& The vij. Chap. and pitch it within and without with pitch and make it after this fa&#383;hion: The length &#383;hal be thre hundreth cubites, the bredth fiftie cubites, and the heyght thirtie cubites. A wyndow &#383;halt thou make aboue of a cubyte greate: but the dore &#383;halt thou &#383;et in the mydde&#383;t in the &#383;yde of it: And the Arke &#383;halt thou make with thre loftes one aboue another. For lo, I wyll bringe a floude of water vpon the earth, to de&#383;troye all fle&#383;h(wherin the breth of life is) vnder the heaue&#772;: All that is vpon earth, &#383;hal peri&#383;he. undefined But with the wyll I make a couenaunt, and thou ſhalt go in to the Arcke with thy &#383;onnes, with thy wyfe, and with thy &#383;onnes wyues. And of all creatures what ſo euer fleſh it be, thou ſhalt bringe in to the Arcke, euen a payre: the male and the female, that they maye lyue wt the: Of foules after their kynde, of bea&#383;tes after their kynde, and of all maner wormes of the earth after their kynde. Of euery one of the&#383;e &#383;hal there a payre go in vnto the, that they maye lyue. And thou &#383;halt take vnto the all maner of meate that maye be eaten, and ſhalt laye it vp in &#383;toare by the, that it maye be meate for the and them. And Noe dyd acordinge to all that God commaunded him. undefined undefined Nd ye LORDE &#383;ayde vnto Noe: Go in to the Arcke thou ⁊ thy whole hou&#383;e: for the haue I &#383;ene righteous before me at this tyme. Of all cleane bea&#383;tes take vnto the &#383;euen and &#383;euen, the male and his female. Like wy&#383;e of the foules vnder the heauen, &#383;euen and &#383;euen, the male and his female, that there maye be &#383;ede left a lyue vpon the hole earth.

For yet after &#383;euen dayes, I wil &#383;ende raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and wyll de&#383;troye all maner of thinges that I haue made, from the face of the earth. undefined And Noe dyd all that the LORDE commaunded him. Sixe hu&#772;dreth yeare olde was he, whan the water floude came vpon earth. And he wente in to the Arcke, with his &#383;onnes, his wyfe, and his &#383;onnes wyues, for the waters of the floude. Of cleane bea&#383;tes and of vncleane, of all fethered foules, ⁊ of all that crepeth vpon earth, wente in vnto him to the Arcke by pares, a male and a female, as ye LORDE co&#772;maunded him. And whan the &#383;euen dayes were pa&#383;t, the water floude came vpon the earth.

In the &#383;ixe hundreth yeare of Noes age, vpon the &#383;euentene daye of the ſeconde moneth, that ſame daye were all ye fountaynes of the greate depe broken vp, and the wyndowes of heauen were opened, and there came a rayne vpon ye earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes. undefined Vpon the &#383;elfe &#383;ame daye we&#772;te Noe into the Arcke, with Sem, Ham and Japhet his &#383;onnes, and with his wyfe, and the thre wyues of his &#383;onnes, and all maner of bea&#383;tes after their kynde, all maner oſ catell after their kynde, all maner of crepynge thinges(that crepe vpo&#772; the earth) after their kynde, and all maner of foules(what &#383;o euer coude flye ⁊ what ſo euer had fethers) after their kynde: Theſe wente all vnto Noe in to the Arcke by cooples, of all fleſh in whom was the breth of life. And theſe were the male ⁊ the female of all maner of fle&#383;h, and wente in, acordinge as God commau&#772;ded him. And the LORDE &#383;hut(the dore) vpon him. undefined Then came the water floude fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the water increa&#383;ed, and bare vp the Arcke, and lift it vp ouer ye earth. Thus the water preuayled, and increa&#383;ed &#383;ore vpon the earth, &#383;o that the arcke wente vpon the waters. Yee the waters preuayled and increaſed ſo &#383;ore vpon earth, that all the hye mountaynes vnder the whole heauen were couered. Fyftene cubytes hye preuayled ye waters ouer the mountaynes, which were couered.

Then all fleſh that crepte vpon the earth peri&#383;hed, both foules, catell, bea&#383;tes, and all yt moued vpon earth, and all men. What ſo euer had the breth of life vpon the drye londe, dyed.

Thus was de&#383;troyed all that was vpon the earth, both man and bea&#383;t, both wormes and foules vnder ye heaue&#772;: all theſe were de&#383;troyed from the earth, Saue Noe onely remayned, and they that were with him in the Arcke. And the waters preuayled vpon the earth, an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
