Chap. after you, and with euery lyuynge creature that is with you, both foule, catell, and all bea&#383;tes vpon the earth with you, of all that is gone out of the Arke, what ſo euer bea&#383;t of the earth it be: And thus I make my couenaunt with you, thet hence forth all fleſh &#383;hal not be de&#383;troyed with the waters of eny floude, and from hence forth there &#383;hall come no floude to de&#383;troye the earth.

And God ſayde: This is the token of my couenaunt which I haue made betwene me and you, and all lyuynge creatures amonge you for euermore: My bowe will I &#383;et in the cloudes, and it &#383;hal be the token of my couenaunt betwene me and ye earth: ſo that wha&#772; I brynge cloudes vpon the earth, the bowe ſhal appeare in the cloudes. And then wyll I thynke vpon my couenaunt betwixte me and you and all lyuynge creatures in all maner of fleſh: ſo that from hence forth there &#383;hall nomore come eny floude of water to de&#383;troye all fle&#383;h. Therfore ſhall my bowe be in the cloudes, that I maye loke vpon it, and remembre the euerlaſtynge couenaunt, betwixte God and all liuynge creatures in all fleſh that is vpon earth. God &#383;ayde al&#383;o vnto Noe: This is the toke&#772; of the couenaunt, which I haue made betwene me and all fleſh vpon earth. undefined The &#383;onnes of Noe which wente out of the Arke, are the&#383;e: Sem, Ham and Japhet.

So whan Noe awaked from his wyne, and perceaued what his yonger &#383;onne had done vnto him, he &#383;ayde: Cur&#383;ed be Canaan, and a &#383;eruaunt of &#383;eruauntes be he vnto his brethren. He &#383;ayde morouer: Pray&#383;ed be the LORDE God of Sem, and Canaan be his &#383;eruaunt. God increa&#383;e Japhet, and let him dwell in the tentes of Sem, and Canaan be his &#383;eruaunt.
