¶ Finally/ se what god promysed Ioseph in his dreames. Those promesses
accõpanyed him all ways/ and went doune wyth him even in to the depe
dongeon/ And brought him vppe agayne/ And never forsoke him till all
that was promysed was fulfilled. These are ensamples wrytẽ for our
learnĩge (as paule seyth) to teach vs to truste in god in y^e strõge
fyre of tribulation and purgatorye of oure flesh. And that they which
submytte them selves to folow god shuld note and marke soch thinges/
for theyr lerninge and comforte/ is the frute of the scripture and
cause why it was wryten: And with soch a purpose to reade it/ is the
waye to everlastynge life and to those ioyfull blyssinges that are
promysed vnto all nacyons in the seade of Abraham/ which seade is
Iesus Christe oure lorde/ to whom be honoure and prayse for ever and
vnto god oure father thorow him.
AMEN.
The fyrst boke of Moses called Genesis
The fyrst Chapiter.
In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth. The erth was voyde and
emptie/ ãd darcknesse was vpon the depe/ and the spirite of god moved
vpon the water
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte. And God sawe
the lyghte that it was good: & devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse/
and called the lyghte daye/ and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the
evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye
And God sayd: let there be a fyrmament betwene the waters/ ãd let it
devyde the waters a sonder. Than God made the fyrmament and parted the
waters which were vnder the fyrmament/ from the waters that were above
the fyrmament: And it was so. And God called the fyrmament heaven/ And
so of the evenynge and morninge was made the seconde daye.
And God sayd/ let the waters that are vnder heaven gather them selves
vnto one place/ that the drye londe may appere: And it came so to
passe. And god called the drye lande the erth and the gatheringe
togyther of waters called he the see. And God sawe that it was good
And God sayd: let the erth bringe forth herbe and grasse that sowe
seed/ and frutefull trees that bere frute every one in his kynde/
havynge their seed in them selves vpon the erth. And it came so to
passe: ãd the erth brought forth herbe and grasse sowenge seed every
one in his kynde & trees berynge frute & havynge their seed in thẽ
selves/ every one in his kynde. And God sawe that it was good: and thẽ
of the evenynge and mornynge was made the thyrde daye.
