Matthew(i) 2 And the wyfe conceaued and bare a sonne. And when she saw that it was a propre chylde, she hydde hym three monethes longe. 3 And when she could no longer hyde him she toke a basket of bulryshes, & dawbed it wyth slyme & pytch, & laied the child therin, & put it in the flagges by the ryuers brinke. 4 And his sister stode a farre of, to wete what wold come out of it. 5 And the daughter of Pharao came downe to the riuer to wash hir selfe & hir maidens walked a long by the riuers side. And when she saw the basket among the flagges, she sent one of hir maydes & caused it to be fet. 6 And when she had opened it she sawe the chyld, & behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on it: & sayed it is one of the Ebrues chyldren. 7 Then sayd his sister vnto Pharaos daughter: shall I go and call vnto the a nurse of the Ebrues women, to nurse the child? 8 And the mayd ranne & called the childs mother. 9 Then Pharaos daughter saied vnto hyr take thys chylde awaye and nurse it for me, & I wil reward the for thy laboure. And the womanne toke the chylde, and nursed it vp. 10 And when the chylde was growen, she broughte it vnto Pharaos daughter, and it was made hyr son, & she called it Moses, bicause (said she) I toke hym oute of the water.
