Then God herde the voyce of the childe, and the angell of God called vnto Agar out of heauen, and ſayde vnto her: What ayleth the, Agar? Feare not, for God hath herde voyce of the childe, where he lyeth. Ary&#383;e and take the childe, and holde him by the hande, for I wyll make a greate people of him.

Then ſayde Abimelech vnto Abraha&#772;: What meane thoſe &#383;euen lambes, which thou ha&#383;t &#383;et by them &#383;elues?
