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 kĩde/ & 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 ãd female of every flesh acordĩge as God
cõmaunded hym: & y^e LORde shytt the dore vppõ him
And the floud came .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes vppon the erth/ & the
water increased and bare vp the arcke ãd it was lifte vp from of the
erth And the water prevayled and increased exceadingly vppon the erth:
and the arke went vppõ the toppe of the waters.
And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppõ the erth/ so
that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven/ were
covered: evẽ .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 vppõ 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 remẽbred Noe & all y^e beastes & all y^e catell y^t were with
hĩ in y^e arke And god made a wynde to blow vppõ y^e erth/ & y^e
waters ceased: ãd y^e fountaynes of the depe ãd the wyndowes of heavẽ
were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbiddẽ/ and the waters
returned from of y^e erth ãd abated after the ende of an hundred and
.l. dayes.
And the arke rested vppõ the mountayns of Ararat/ the .xvij. daye of
the .vij. moneth. And the waters went away ãd 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/ ãd 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
