¶ But [the] lorde hurled a greate winde in to [the] se/ so that there
was a myghtie tēpest in the se: in so moch [that] the shepp was lyke to
goo in peces. And the mariners were afrayed & cried euery man vn to his
god/ & cast out [the] goodes [that] were in [the] sheppe in to [the] se/
to lighten it of thē. But Ionas gatt him vnder the hatches & layed him
downe and slombrede. And [the] master of the sheppe came to him & sayd
vn to hī/ why slomberest thou? vpp! & call vn to thy god/ that God maye
thinke on vs/ that we perish not.

¶ And they sayde one to a nother/ come & lett vs cast lottes/ to know
for whose cause we are thus troublede. And they cast lottes. And [the]
lott fell vppon Ionas.

¶ Thē they said vnto hī/ tel vs for whose cause we are thus trowbled:
what is thine occupaciō/ whence comest thou/ how is thy cōtre called/ &
of what nacion art thou?

¶ And he answered thē/ I am an Ebrue: & the lord God of heuen which made
both se and drie land/ I feare. Then were the men exceadingly afrayd &
sayd vn to him/ why diddest thou so? For they knew that he was fled from
the presens of the lorde/ because he had told them.

¶ Then they sayd vn to hym/ what shall we doo vnto the/ that the se maye
cease frō trowblinge vs? For the se wrought & was trowblous. And he
answered them/ take me and cast me in to the se/ & so shall it lett you
be in reste: for I wotte/ is is for my sake/ that this greate tempest is
come oppon you. Neuerthelesse the men assayed wyth rowenge to bringe the
sheppe to lande: but it wold not be/ because the se so wrought & was so
trowblous agenst them. Wherefore they cried vn to the lorde & sayd: O
lorde latt vs not perih for this mans deeth/ nether laye innocēt bloud
vn to oure charge: for thou lorde even as thy pleasure was/ so thou hast
done.

¶ And thē they toke Ionas/ & cast hī in to [the] se/ & the se left
ragynge. And [the] men feared the lorde excedingly: & sacrificed
sacrififice vn to the lorde: and vowed vowes.


¶ The seconde Chapter.

But [the] lorde prepared a greate fyshe/ to swalow vp Ionas. And so was
Ionas in [the] bowels of [the] fish .iij. dayes & .iij. nightes. And
Ionas prayed vnto [the] lord his god out of [the] bowels of the fish.
