Bible. Genesis
And as they preased sore vppon Lot and beganne to breake vp the doore/
the men put forth their handes and pulled Lot in to the house to them
and shott to the doore. And the men that were at the doore of the
house/ they smote with blyndnesse both small and greate: so that they
coude not fynde the doore.
And the men sayde moreover vnto Lot: Yf thou have yet here any sonne
in lawe or sonnes or doughters or what so euer thou hast in the cyte/
brynge it out of this place: for we must destroy this place/ because
the crye of thẽ is great before the LORde. Wherfore he hath sent vs to
destroy it.
And Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe which shulde haue
maried his doughters/ and sayde: stonde vpp and get yow out of this
place/ for the LORde will destroy the cite. But he semed as though he
had mocked/ vnto his sonnes in law.
And as the mornynge arose the angells caused Lot to spede him saynge.
Stonde vp/ take thy wyfe and thy two doughters and that that is at
hande/ lest thou perish in the synne of the cyte. And as he prolonged
the tyme/ the men caught both him/ his wife ãd his two doughters by
the handes/ because the LORde was mercyfull vnto him/ ãd they brought
him forth and sette him without the cyte.
When they had brought them out/ they sayde: Saue thy lyfe and loke not
behynde the nether tary thou in any place of the contre/ but saue thy
selfe in the mountayne/ lest thou perisshe. Than sayde Lot vnto them:
Oh nay my lorde: beholde/ in as moch as thy servaunte hath fownde
grace in thy syghte/ now make thi mercy great which thou shewest vnto
me in savinge my lyfe. For I can not saue my selfe in the mountayns/
lest some misfortune fall vpon me and I dye. Beholde/ here is a cyte
by/ to flee vnto/ and it is a lytle one: let me saue my selfe therein:
is it not a litle one/ that my soule may lyue?
And he sayde to him: se I haue receaved thy request as concernynge
this thynge/ that I will nott overthrowe this cytie for the which
thou hast spoken. Haste the/ ãd saue thy selfe there/ for I can do
nothynge tyll thou be come in thyder. And therfore the name of the
cyte is called Zoar. And the sone was vppon the erth when Lot was
entred into Zoar.
Than the LORde rayned vpon Sodome and Gomorra/ brymstone and fyre from
the LORde out of heaven/ and overthrewe those cyteis and all the
region/ and all that dwelled in the cytes/ and that that grewe vpon
the erth. And lots wyfe loked behynde her/ ãd was turned in to a
pillare of salte.
Abraham rose vp early and got him to the place where he stode before
the LORde/ and loked toward Sodome and Gomorra and toward all the
londe of that contre. And as he loked: beholde/ the smoke of the
contre arose as it had bene the smoke of a fornace. But yet whẽ God
destroyed the cities of y^e regiõ/ he thought a pon Abrahã: and sent
Lot out from the dãger of the overthrowenge/ when he overthrewe the
cyties where Lot dwelled.
