And the waters prevayled excedingly above mesure vppõ the erth/ so that all the hye hylles which are vnder all the partes of heaven/ were covered: evẽ .xv. cubytes hye prevayled the waters/ so that the hylles were covered.
And all fleshe that moved on the erth/ bothe birdes catell and beastes perisshed/ with al that crepte on the erth and all men: so that all that had the breth of liffe in the nostrels of it thorow out all that was on drye lond dyed.
Thus was destroyed all that was vppõ the erth/ both man/ beastes/ wormes and foules of the ayre/ so that they were destroyed from the erth: save Noe was reserved only and they that were wyth hym in the arke. And the waters prevayled vppon the erth/ an hundred and fyftye dayes.
The .viij. Chapter.
ANd god remẽbred Noe & all ye beastes & all ye catell yt were with hĩ in ye arke And god made a wynde to blow vppõ ye erth/ & ye waters ceased: ãd ye fountaynes of the depe ãd the wyndowes of heavẽ were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbiddẽ/ and the waters returned from of ye erth ãd abated after the ende of an hundred and .l. dayes.
And the arke rested vppõ the mountayns of Ararat/ the .xvij. daye of the .vij. moneth. And the waters went away ãd decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth/ the toppes of the mounteyns appered.
And after the ende of .xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made/ ãd sent forth a raven/ which went out/ ever goinge and cominge agayne/ vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth
Then sent he forth a doue from hym/ to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth. And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote/ she returned to him agayne vnto the arke/ for the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke
And he abode yet .vij. dayes mo/ and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke/ And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde/ and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth. And he taried yet .vij. other dayes/ and sent forth the doue/ which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.
