¶ The .vj. Chapter.
ANd it came to passe/ whã men begã to multiplye apõ the erth ãd had begot them doughters/ the sonnes of God sawe the doughters of men that they were fayre/ and toke vnto them wyves/ which they best liked amõge thẽ all. And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not all waye stryve withe man/ for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space/ and hundred and .xx. yeres
There were tirantes in the world in thos dayes. For after that the children of God had gone in vnto the doughters of men and had begotten them childern/ the same childern were the mightiest of the world and men of renowne And whan the LORde sawe yt the wekednesse of man was encreased apon the erth/ and that all the ymaginacion and toughtes of his hert was only evell continually/ he repented that he had made man apon the erth and sorowed in his hert. And sayd: I wyll destroy mankynde which I haue made/ frõ of the face of the erth: both man/ beast/ worme and foule of the ayre/ for it repẽteth me that I haue made them. But yet Noe found grace in the syghte of the LORde.
These are the generatiõs of Noe. Noe was a righteous man and vncorrupte in his tyme/ & walked wyth god. And Noe begat .iij. sonnes: Sem/ Ham and Iapheth And the erth was corrupte in the syghte of god and was full of mischefe. And God loked vpon the erth/ ãd loo it was corrupte: for all flesh had corrupte his way vppon the erth.
