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 y^e 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 s?tuaryes & 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: Eu? 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 y^t 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.

I make my bonde wyth yow/ that hence forth all flesh shall not be destroyed wyth y^e waters of any floud/ Ãd y^t hence forth there shall not be a floud to destroy the erth.

And God sayd. This is the token of my bÕde which I make betwene me and yow/ Ãd betwene all lyvynge thyng that is with yow for ever: I wyll sette my bowe in the cloudes/ and it shall be a sygne of the appoyntment made betwene me and the erth: So that when I bryng in cloudes vpÕ y^e erth/ the bowe shall appere in y^e cloudes. And than wyll I thynke vppon my testament which I haue made betwene me and yow/ and all that lyveth what soeuer flesh it be. So that henceforth there shall be no more waters to make a floud to destroy all flesh.

The bowe shalbe in the cloudes/ and I wyll loke vpon it/ to remembre the euerlastynge testament betwene God and all the lyveth vppon the erth/ what soeuer flesh it be. And God sayd vnto Noe: This is the sygne of the testament which I have made betwene me and all flesh y^t is on the erth.

The sonnes of Noe that came out of the arke were: Sem/ Ham and Iapheth. And Ham he is the father of CanaÃ. These are the .iij. sonnes of Noe/ and of these was all the world overspred.

And Noe beynge an husbÃd man/ went furth and planted a vyneyarde and drancke of the wyne and was droncke/ and laye vncouered in the myddest of his t?t. And Ham the father of Canaan sawe his fathers prevytees/ & tolde his ij. brethren that were wythout. And Sem and Iapheth toke a mantell and put it on both there shulders Ãd went backward/ Ãd covered there fathers secrets/ but there faces were backward So that they sawe not there fathers nakydnes. As soone as Noe was awaked frÕ his wyne and wyst what his yongest sonne had done vnto hym/ he sayd: cursed be Canaan/ Ãd a seruante of all seruantes be he to his brethren. And he sayd: Blessed be the LORde God of S?/ and Canaan be his seruante. God increase Iapheth that he may dwelle in the tentes of Sem. And Canaan be their seruante.

And Noe lyved after the floude .iij. hundred and .l. yere: So that all the dayes of Noe were ix. hundred and .l. yere/ Ãd than he dyed.
