childern of Adã had buylded. And the LORde sayd: See/ the people is
one and haue one tonge amonge them all. And thys haue they begon to
do/ and wyll not leaue of from all that they haue purposed to do. Come
on/ let vs descende and myngell theire tonge even there/ that one
vnderstonde not what a nother sayeth. Thus y^e LORde skatered them
from thence vppon all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte.
Wherfore the name of it is called Babell/ because that the LORDE there
confounded the tonge of all the world. And because that the LORde from
thence/ skatered them abrode vppon all the erth.
