Therfore in the .xiiij. yere came kedorlaomer and the kynges that were

wyldernesse. And then turned they and came to the well of iugmente
which is Cades/ and smote all the contre of the Amalechites/ and also

Than went out the kynge of Sodome/ and the kynge of Gomorra/ and the

And with Arioch kynge of Ellasar: foure kynges agenste v. And that
vale of siddim was full of slyme pyttes.
And the kynges of Sodome and Gomorra fled/ and fell there. And the

Sodome and Gomorra and all their vitalles/ ãd went their waye. And
they toke Lot also Abrams brothers sonne and his good (for he dwelled

Than came one that had escaped/ and tolde Abram the hebrue which
dwelled in the okegrove of Mamre the Amoryte brother of Eschol and

only that which the yonge men haue eaten ãd the partes of the men
which went wyth me. Aner/ Escholl & Mamre. Let them take their partes.
