And it came to passe/ the syxte hundred and one yere and the fyrst daye of the fyrst moneth/ that the waters were dryed vpp apon the erth. And Noe toke off the hatches of the arke and loked: And beholde/ the face of the erth was drye. So by the .xxvij. daye of the seconde moneth the erth was drye.
And God spake vnto Noe saynge: come out of the arcke/ both thou and thy wyfe ãd thy sonnes and thy sonnes wyues with the. And all the beastes that are with the whatsoever flesh it be/ both foule and catell and all maner wormes that crepe on the erth/ brynge out with the/ and let them moue/ growe ãd multiplye vppon the erth. And Noe came out/ ãd his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyues with hym. And all the beastes/ and all the wormes/ and all the foules/ and all that moved vppon the erth/ came also out of the arke/ all of one kynde together.
And Noe made an aulter vnto the LORDE/ and toke of all maner of clene beastes and all maner of clene foules/ and offred sacrifyce vppon the aulter. And the LORDE smellyd a swete savoure and sayd in his hert: I wyll henceforth no more curse the erth for mannes sake/ for the imagynacion of mannes hert is evell/ even from the very youth of hym. Morouer I wyll not destroy from henceforth all that lyveth as I haue done. Nether shall sowynge tyme and harvest/ colde/ and hete/ somere & wynter/ daye and nyghte ceasse/ as longe as the erth endureth.
¶ The .ix. Chapter.
ANd God blessed Noe and his sonnes/ and sayd vnto them: Increase and multiplye and fyll the erth.
The feare also and drede of yow be vppon all beastes of the erth/ and vppon all foules of the ayre/ ãd vppon all that crepeth on the erth/ and vppon all fyshes of the see/ which are geuen vnto youre handes And all that moveth vppon the erth havynge lyfe/ shall be youre meate: Euen as ye grene herbes/ so geue I yow all thynge. Only the flesh with his life which is his bloud/ se that ye eate not.
* This lawe and soch like to exequute/ were kinges and rulars ordeyned of God wherfore they ought not to suffre the popes Caimes thus to shede bloud theirs not shed ageyne/ nether yet to sett vpp their abhominable sẽtuaryes & necke verses cleane agenste the ordinaunce of god/ but vnto their dãnacyon
* For verely the bloude of yow wherein youre lyves are wyll I requyre: Euẽ of the hande of all beastes wyll I requyre it/ And of the hande of man and of the hand off euery mannes brother/ wyll I requyre the lyfe of man: so yt he which shedeth mannes bloude/ shall haue hys bloud shed by man agayne: for God made man after his awne lyckness. See that ye encrease/ and waxe/ and be occupyde vppon the erth/ & multiplye therein.
Farthermore God spake vnto Noe & to hys sonnes wyth hym saynge: see/ I make my bõd wyth you and youre seed after you/ and wyth all lyvynge thinge that is wyth you: both foule and catell/ and all maner beste of the erth that is wyth yow/ of all that commeth out of the arke/ what soeuer beste of the erth it be.
