1 So whan men beganne to multiplie vpon the earth, and had begot them doughters,
2 the children of God sawe the doughters of men, that they were fayre, and toke vnto the wyues soch as they liked.
3 Then sayde ye LORDE: My sprete shal not allwaye stryue with man, for he is but flesh also. I wil yet geue him respyte an hundreth and twety yeares.
4 There were giauntes also in the worlde at that tyme. For whan the children of God had lyen with the daughters of men, and begotten them children, ye same (children) became mightie in the worlde, and men of renowne.
5 But whan the LORDE sawe yt the wickednes of man was increased vpon ye earth, and that all ye thought and imaginacion of their hert was but onely euell contynually,
6 it repented him, that he had made man vpon the earth, and he sorowed in his hert,
7 and sayde: I wyll destroye man kynde which I haue made, from the earth: both man, beest, worme, and foule vnder the heauen: for it repenteth me, that I haue made them.
8 Neuertheles Noe founde grace in the sight of the LORDE.
