1 Sende thy vytayles ouer the waters, and so shalt thou fynde the after many yeares.
2 Geue it awaye amonge seuen or eight, for thou knowest not what misery shal come vpo earth.
3 Whe the cloudes are full, they poure out rayne vpon the earth. And whe ye tre falleth, (whether it be towarde the south or north) in what place so euer it fall, there it lyeth.
4 He that regardeth ye wynde, shal not sowe: and he that hath respecte vnto the cloudes, shal not reape.
5 Now like as thou knowest not the waye of the wynde, ner how ye bones are fylled in a mothers wombe: Euen so thou knowest not the workes of God, which is the workemaster of all.
6 Cease not thou therfore with thy handes to sowe thy sede, whether it be in ye mornynge or in the euenynge: for thou knowest not whether this or that shall prospere, & yf they both take, it is the better.
