Then sayd the serpent vnto the woman: tush ye shall not dye: But God doth knowe/ that whensoever ye shulde eate of it/ youre eyes shuld be opened and ye shulde be as God and knowe both good and evell. And the woman sawe that it was a good tree to eate of and lustie vnto the eyes and a pleasant tre for to make wyse. And toke of the frute of it and ate/ and gaue vnto hir husband also with her/ and he ate. And the eyes of both of them were opened/ that they vnderstode how that they were naked. Than they sowed fygge leves togedder and made them apurns.

And they herd the voyce of the LORde God as he walked in the gard? in the coole of the daye. And Adam hyd hymselfe and his wyfe also from the face of the LORde God/ amonge the trees of the garden. And the LORde God called Adam and sayd vnto him where art thou? And he answered. Thy voyce I harde in the garden/ but I was afrayd because I was naked/ and therfore hyd myselfe. And he sayd: who told the that thou wast naked? hast thou eaten of the tree/ of which I bade the that thou shuldest not eate? And Adam answered. The woman which thou gavest to bere me company she toke me of the tree/ ?d I ate. And the LORde God sayd vnto the woman: wherfore didest thou so? And the woman answered/ the serpent deceaved me and I ate.

? And the LORde God sayd vnto the serp?t because thou haste so done moste cursed be thou of all catell and of all beastes of the feld: vpp? thy bely shalt thou goo: and erth shalt thou eate all dayes of thy lyfe. Morover I will put hatred betwene the and the woman/ and betwene thy seed and hyr seed. And that seed shall tread the on the heed/ ?d thou shalt tread hit on the hele.

And vnto the woman he sayd: I will suerly encrease thy sorow ?d make the oft with child/ and with payne shalt thou be deleverd: And thy lustes shall pertayne vnto thy husbond and he shall rule the.

And vnto Ad? he sayd: for as moch as thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wyfe/ and hast eaten of the tree of which I commaunded the saynge: se thou eate not therof: cursed be the erth for thy sake. In sorow shalt thou eate therof all dayes of thy lyfe/ And it shall beare thornes ?d thystels vnto the. And thou shalt eate the herbes of y^e feld: In the swete of thy face shalt thou eate brede/ vntill thou returne vnto the erth wh?ce thou wast tak?: for erth thou art/ ?d vnto erth shalt thou returne.

And Ad? called his wyfe Heua/ because she was the mother of all that lyveth. And the LORde God made Adam and hys wyfe garmentes of skynnes/ and put them on them. And the LORde God sayd: loo/ Adam is become as it were one of vs/ in knowlege of good and evell. But now lest he strech forth his hand and take also of the tree of lyfe and eate and lyve ever.

And the LORde God cast him out of the garden of Eden/ to tylle the erth wh?ce he was taken. And he cast Ad? out/ and sette at y^e enteringe of the garden Eden/ Cherubin with a naked swerde movinge in and out/ to kepe the way to the tree of lyfe.

? The .iiij. Chapter.

And Adam lay wyth Heua ys wyfe/ which conceaved and bare Cain/ and sayd: I haue goten a m? of the LORde. And she proceded forth and bare hys brother Abell: And Abell became a sheperde/ And Cain became a ploweman.

And it fortuned in processe of tyme/ that Cain brought of the frute of the erth: an offerynge vnto the LORde. And Abell/ he brought also of the fyrstlynges of hys shepe and of the fatt of them. And the LORde loked vnto Abell and to his offeynge: but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge/ looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly/ and loured. And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry/ and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it? But & if thou dost evell/ by & by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the/ ?d see thou rule it. And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother.

And as soone as they were in the feldes/ Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym And y^e LORde sayd vnto Cain: where is Abell thy brother? And he sayd: I can not tell/ am I my brothers keper? And he sayd: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers bloud cryeth vnto me out of the erth. And now cursed be thou as pertaynyng to the erth/ which opened hyr mouth to receaue thy brothers bloud of thyne hande. For when thou tyllest the grounde she shall h?ceforth not geve hyr power vnto the. A vagabunde and a rennagate shalt thou be vpon the erth.

And Cain laye wyth hys wyfe/ which conceaved and bare Henoch. And he was buyldinge a cyte and called the name of it after the name of hys sonne/ Henoch. And Henoch begat Irad. And Irad begat Mahuiael. And Mahuiael begat Mathusael. And Mathusael begat Lamech.

And Lamech toke hym two wyves: the one was called Ada/ and the other Zilla. And Ada bare Iabal/ of whome came they that dwell in tentes ?d possesse catell. And hys brothers name was Iubal: of hym came all that excercyse them selves on the harpe and on the organs And Zilla she also bare Tubalcain a worker in metall and a father of all that grave in brasse and yeron. And Tubalcains syster was called Naema.

Then sayd Lamech vnto hys wyves Ada ?d Zilla: heare my voyce ye wyves of Lamech and herken vnto my wordes/ for I haue slayne a man and wounded myselfe/ and haue slayn a yongman/ and gotte my selfe strypes: For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.

? Adam also laye with hys wyfe yet agayne/ and she bare a sonne ?d called hys name Seth For god hath geven me a nother sonne For Abell whom Cain slewe. And Seth begat a sonne and called hys name Enos. And in that tyme began men to call on the name of the LORde.

? The .vj. Chapter.

And it came to passe/ wh? men beg? to multiplye ap? the erth ?d had begot them doughters/ the sonnes of God sawe the doughters of men that they were fayre/ and toke vnto them wyves/ which they best liked am?ge th? all. And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not all waye stryve withe man/ for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space/ and hundred and .xx. yeres

There were tirantes in the world in thos dayes. For after that the children of God had gone in vnto the doughters of men and had begotten them childern/ the same childern were the mightiest of the world and men of renowne And whan the LORde sawe y^t the wekednesse of man was encreased apon the erth/ and that all the ymaginacion and toughtes of his hert was only evell continually/ he repented that he had made man apon the erth and sorowed in his hert. And sayd: I wyll destroy mankynde which I haue made/ fr? of the face of the erth: both man/ beast/ worme and foule of the ayre/ for it rep?teth me that I haue made them. But yet Noe found grace in the syghte of the LORde.

These are the generati?s of Noe. Noe was a righteous man and vncorrupte in his tyme/ & walked wyth god. And Noe begat .iij. sonnes: Sem/ Ham and Iapheth And the erth was corrupte in the syghte of god and was full of mischefe. And God loked vpon the erth/ ?d loo it was corrupte: for all flesh had corrupte his way vppon the erth.

Than sayd God to Noe: the end of all flesh is come before me/ for the erth is full of there myschefe. And loo/ I wyll destroy them with the erth. Make the an arcke of pyne tree/ and make chaumbers in the arcke/ and pytch it wythin and wythout wyth pytch. And of this facion shalt thou make it.

The lenth of the arcke shall be .iij. hundred cubytes/ ?d the bredth of it .l. cubytes/ and the heyth of it .xxx. cubytes. A wyndow shalt thou make aboue in the arcke. And wythin a cubyte compasse shalt thou finysh it. And the dore of the arcke shalt thou sette in y^e syde of it: and thou shalt make it with iij loftes one aboue an other. For behold I wil bringe in a floud of water apon the erth to destroy all flesh from vnder heaven/ wherin breth of life is so that all that is in the erth shall perish. But I will make myne apoyntement with the/ that both thou shalt come in to y^e arcke and thy sonnes/ thy wyfe and thy sonnes wyves with the.

And of all that lyveth what soever flesh it be/ shalt thou brynge in to the arcke/ of every thynge a payre/ to kepe them a lyve wyth the. And male and female se that they be/ of byrdes in their kynde/ and of beastes in their kynde/ and of all maner of wormes of the erth in their kinde: a payre of every thinge shall come vnto the to kepe them a lyve. And take vnto the of all maner of meate y^t may be eaten & laye it vp in stoore by the/ that it may be meate both for y^e and for th?: and Noe did acordynge to all that God commaunded hym.

The .vij. Chapter.

And the LORde sayd vnto Noe: goo in to the arcke both thou and all thy houssold. For the haue I sene rightuous before me in thys generacion. Of all clene beastes take vnto the .vij. of every kynde the male and hys female And of vnclene beastes a payre/ the male and hys female: lykewyse of the byrdes of the ayre vij. of every kynde/ male and female to save seed vppon all the erth. For .vij. dayes hence wyll I send rayne vpp? the erth .xl. days & .xl. nyghtes and wyll dystroy all maner of thynges that I haue made/ from of the face of the erth..

And Noe dyd acordynge to all y^t the lorde c?maunded hym: and Noe was .vi. hundred yere olde/ when the floud of water came vppon the erth: and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym/ in to the arke from the waters of the floud. And of clene beastes and of beastes that are vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vpp? the erth/ came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe. And the seventh daye the waters of the floud came vppon the erth.

In the .vi. hundred yere of Noes lyfe/ in the sec?de moneth/ in the .xvij daye of the moneth/ y^t same daye were all the founteynes of the grete depe broken vp/ & the wyndowes of heav? were opened/ ?d there fell a rayne vpon the erth .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes.

And the selfe same daye went Noe/ Sem/ Ham and Iapheth/ Noes sonnes/ and Noes wyfe and the .iij. wyues of his sonnes wyth them in to the arke: both they and all maner of beastes in their k?de/ & all maner of catell in their kynde & all maner of wormes that crepe vppon the erth in their kynde/ and all maner of byrdes in there kynde./ and all maner off foules whatsoever had feders. And they came vnto Noe in to the arke by cooples/ of all flesh y^t had breth of lyfe in it. And they that came/ came male ?d female of every flesh acord?ge as God c?maunded hym: & y^e LORde shytt the dore vpp? him

And the floud came .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes vppon the erth/ & the water increased and bare vp the arcke ?d it was lifte vp from of the erth And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth: and the arke went vpp? the toppe of the waters.

And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vpp? the erth/ so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven/ were covered: ev? .xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters/ so that the hylles were covered.

And all fleshe that moved on the erth/ bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed/ with al that crepte on the erth and all men: so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed.

Thus was destroyed all that was vpp? the erth/ both man/ beastes/ wormes and foules of the ayre/ so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke. And the waters prevayled vppon the erth/ an hundred and fyftye dayes.

The .viij. Chapter.

And god rem?bred Noe & all y^e beastes & all y^e catell y^t were with h? in y^e arke And god made a wynde to blow vpp? y^e erth/ & y^e waters ceased: ?d y^e fountaynes of the depe ?d the wyndowes of heav? were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidd?/ and the waters returned from of y^e erth ?d abated after the ende of an hundred and .l. dayes.

And the arke rested vpp? the mountayns of Ararat/ the .xvij. daye of the .vij. moneth. And the waters went away ?d decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth/ the toppes of the mounteyns appered.

And after the ende of .xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made/ ?d sent forth a raven/ which went out/ ever goinge and cominge agayne/ vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth

Then sent he forth a doue from hym/ to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth. And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote/ she returned to him agayne vnto the arke/ for the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke

And he abode yet .vij. dayes mo/ and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke/ And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde/ and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth. And he taried yet .vij. other dayes/ and sent forth the doue/ which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.

And it came to passe/ the syxte hundred and one yere and the fyrst daye of the fyrst moneth/ that the waters were dryed vpp apon the erth. And Noe toke off the hatches of the arke and loked: And beholde/ the face of the erth was drye. So by the .xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye.

And God spake vnto Noe saynge: come out of the arcke/ both thou and thy wyfe ?d thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the. And all the beastes that are with the whatsoever flesh it be/ both foule and catell and all maner wormes that crepe on the erth/ brynge out with the/ and let them moue/ growe ?d multiplye vppon the erth. And Noe came out/ ?d his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym. And all the beastes/ and all the wormes/ and all the foules/ and all that moved vppon the erth/ came also out of the arke/ all of one kynde together.

And Noe made an aulter vnto the LORDE/ and toke of all maner of clene beastes and all maner of clene foules/ and offred sacrifyce vppon the aulter. And the LORDE smellyd a swete savoure and sayd in his hert: I wyll henceforth no more curse the erth for mannes sake/ for the imagynacion of mannes hert is evell/ even from the very youth of hym. Morouer I wyll not destroy from henceforth all that lyveth as I haue done. Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest/ colde/ and hete/ somere & wynter/ daye and nyghte ceasse/ as longe as the erth endureth.
