⁶ And Abraha sayde vnto him: bewarre of that that thou brige not my sonne thither. ⁷ The LORde God of heauen which toke me from my fathers house and from the lande where I was borne and which spake vnto me and sware vnto me saynge: vnto thy seed wyll I geue this lande he shall sende his angell before the yt thou mayst take a wife vnto my sonne from thence.

⁵⁴ And then they ate and dranke both he and the men that were with him and taried all nyghte and rose vp in the mornynge.And he sayde: let me departe vnto my master.

⁵⁶ And he sayde vnto them hinder me not: for the lorde hath prospered my iourney. Sende me awaye yt I maye goo vnto my master.

³ Sogeorne in this lade and I wyll be with ye and wyll blesse ye: for vnto the and vnto thy sede I will geue all these cotreis And I will performe the oothe which I swore vnto Abraha thy father

⁴⁴ And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fearsnes be swaged and ⁴⁵ vntill thy brothers wrath turne away from the and he forgett that which thou hast done to him. Tha will I sende and fett the awaye from thence. Why shulde I lose you both in one daye.

¹³ yee ad the LORde stode apon it and sayde.I am the LORde God of Abraham thi father and the God of Isaac: The londe which thou slepest apon will I geue the and thy seed.

¹⁵ And se I am with the and wylbe thy keper in all places whother thou goost and wyll brynge ye agayne in to this lande: Nether will I leaue the vntill I haue made good all that I haue promysed the.

¹³ I am ye god of Bethell where thou anoynteddest the stone ad where thou vowdest a vowe vnto me. Now aryse and gett the out of this countre ad returne vnto the lade where thou wast borne.

⁵⁵ And early in the mornynge Laban rose vp and kyssed his childern and his doughters and blessed the and departed and wet vnto his place agayne.

⁴ Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell ⁵ and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.

⁹ By fayth he removed into the londe yt was promysed him as into a straunge countre and dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob heyres with him of the same promes.

¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne. ¹⁶ But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.

¹⁹ And Laban answered: it is better yt I geue her the than to another man? byde therfore with me. ²⁰ And Iacob serued .vij. yeres for Rahel and they semed vnto him but a fewe dayes for the loue he had to her.

³⁰ So laye he by Rahel also and loued Rahel more than Lea and serued him yet .vij. yeres more.

²⁹ But he sayde vnto hym thou knowest what seruyce I haue done ye and in what takynge thy catell haue bene vnder me: ³⁰ for it was but litle that thou haddest before I came and now it is encreased in to a multitude and the LORDE hath blessed the for my sake.But now when shall I make provysion for myne awne house also?

⁶ And ye knowe how that I haue serued youre father with all my myghte.

²⁶ Than sayde Laba to Iacob: why hast thou this done vnknowynge to me and hast caried awaye my doughters as though they had bene take captyue with swerde?

³¹ Iacob answered and sayde to Laba: because I was afrayed and thought that thou woldest haue take awaye thy doughters fro me.

³⁸ This xx. yere yt I haue bene wyth the thy shepe and thy gootes haue not bene baren and the rammes of thi flocke haue I not eate. ³⁹ What soeuer was torne of beastes I broughte it not vnto ye but made it good mysilf: of my hade dydest thou requyre it whether it was stollen by daye or nyghte ⁴⁰ Moreouer by daye the hete consumed me and the colde by nyghte and my slepe departed fro myne eyes. ⁴¹ Thus haue I bene .xx. yere in thi house and serued the .xiiij. yeres forthy .ij. doughters and vi. yere for thi shepe and thou hast changed my rewarde .x. tymes.

³ And I wyll blesse the that blesse the ad curse the that curse the. And in the shall be blessed all the generations of the erth.

³ and sayde: LORde yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght goo not by thi seruaunte.

²⁴ And the LORde apered vnto hi the same nyghte and sayde. I am the God of Abraha thy father feare not for I am with the and will blesse the and multiplye thy sede for my seruaute Abrahams sake.

³⁰ for it was but litle that thou haddest before I came and now it is encreased in to a multitude and the LORDE hath blessed the for my sake.But now when shall I make provysion for myne awne house also?

¹⁵ And Esau sayde: let me yet leaue some of my folke with the. And he sayde: what neadeth it? let me fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde

¹¹ And Sichem sayde vnto hyr father and hir brethern: let me fynde grace in youre eyes and what soeuer ye apoynte me that will I geue.

² And the LORde was with Ioseph and he was a luckie felowe and continued in the house of his master the Egiptian. ³ And his master sawe that the ORde was with him and that the LORde made all that he dyd prosper in his hande: ⁴ Wherfore he founde grace in his masters syghte and serued him. And his master made him ruelar of his house and put all that he had in his hande. ⁵ And as soone as he had made him ruelar ouer his house ad ouer all that he had the LORde blessed this Egiptians house for Iosephs sake and the blessynge of the LORde was vpon all that he had: both in the house and also in the feldes.

²⁵ And they answered: Thou haste saued oure lyves Let vs fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde and let us be Pharaos servautes.

²¹ And I will gett this people fauoure in the syghte of the Egiptians: so that when ye goo, ye shall not goo emptie:

¹¹ And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: wherfore dealest thou so cruelly with thi seruaunte ? wherfore doo I not fynde fauoure in thi syghte seynge that thou puttest the weyght of this people apon me?

¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.

¹⁵ And afterward Laban sayd vnto Iacob: though thou be my brother shuldest thou therfore serue me for nought?tell me what shall thi wages be?

¹⁹ And Laban answered: it is better yt I geue her the than to another man? byde therfore with me.

⁵ And Bilha conceaued and bare Iacob a sonne.

³⁸ This xx. yere yt I haue bene wyth the thy shepe and thy gootes haue not bene baren and the rammes of thi flocke haue I not eate. ³⁹ What soeuer was torne of beastes I broughte it not vnto ye but made it good mysilf: of my hade dydest thou requyre it whether it was stollen by daye or nyghte ⁴⁰ Moreouer by daye the hete consumed me and the colde by nyghte and my slepe departed fro myne eyes.

⁴⁵ If there be any faithfull servaut and wyse whome his master hath made ruler over his housholde to geve the meate in season covenient:

⁵ Servautes be obedient vnto youre carnall masters with feare and trimblinge in singlenes of youre hertes as vnto Christ: ⁶ not wt service in ye eye sight as men pleasars: but as the servautes of Christ doynge ye will of God fro the herte ⁷ with good will servinge ye Lorde and not men. ⁸ And remember that whatsoever good thinge eny man doeth that shall he receave agayne of the Lorde whether he be bonde or fre.

²² Servauntes be obedient vnto youre bodyly masters in all thynges: not with eye service as men pleasers but in synglenes of herte fearynge god. ²³ And whatsoever ye do do it hertely as though ye did it to the lorde and not vnto men for as moche as ye ²⁴ knowe that of the lorde ye shall receave the rewarde of inheritaunce for ye serve the lorde Christ. ²⁵ But he that doth wronge shall receave for the wronge that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.

⁹ The servautes exhorte to be obediet vnto their awne masters and to please in all thynges not answerynge agayne ¹⁰ nether be pickers but that they shewe all good faythfulnes that they maye do worshippe to ye doctryne of oure saveoure God in all thynges.

¹⁵ For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men:

¹⁸ Servauntes obey youre masters with all feare not only yf they be good and courteous: but also though they be frowarde.

¹⁰ For the londe whother thou goest to possesse it, is not as the londe of Egipte whence thou camest out, where thou sowedest thi seed and wateredest it with thi laboure as a garden of herbes:

¹⁴ Beholde now ye thyrde tyme I am redy to come vnto you: and yet will I not be grevous vnto you. For I seke not youres but you. Also the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers and mothers: but the fathers and mothers for the children.

⁸ Yf ther be eny that provideth not for his awne and namly for them of his housholde the same denyeth the fayth and is worsse then an infydell.

⁵ Let youre conversacion be with out coveteousnes and be contet with that ye have all redy. For he verely sayd: I will not fayle the nether forsake the:

³⁵ And he toke out that same daye the he gootes that were partie and of dyuerse coloures and all the she gootes that were spotted and partie coloured and all that had whyte in the and all the blacke amonge the lambes: ad put the in the kepinge of his sonnes

⁸ When he sayde the spotted shalbe thy wages tha all the shepe barespotted. Yf he sayde the straked shalbe thi rewarde tha bare all the shepe straked:

¹⁰ For in buckynge tyme I lifted vp myne eyes and sawe in a dreame: and beholde the rammes that bucked the shepe were straked spotted and partie.

³⁷ Thou hast searched all my stuffe and what hast thou founde of all thy housholde stuffe? put it here before thi brethern and myne and let the iudge betwyxte vs both.

¹⁴ And when thi sonne axeth the in tyme to come saynge: what is this? thou shalt saye vnto him: with a mightie hande the Lorde broughte us out of Egipte, out of the housse of bondage.

²⁹ And Balam sayde vnto the Asse: because thou hast mocked me? I wolde that I had a swerde in myne hande that I myghte now kyll the.

⁷ For I wolde that all men were as I my selfe am: but every man hath his proper gyfte of God one after this maner another after that.

⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.

¹² I wolde to God they were seperated from you which trouble you.

⁹ thus hath God take awaye youre fathers catell and geue the me.

⁹ thus hath God take awaye youre fathers catell and geue the me. ¹⁰ For in buckynge tyme I lifted vp myne eyes and sawe in a dreame: and beholde the rammes that bucked the shepe were straked spotted and partie. ¹¹ And the angell of God spake vnto me in a dreame saynge: Iacob. And I answered: here am I. ¹² And he sayde: lyfte vp thyne eyes ad see how all therames that leape vpon the shepe are straked spotted and partie: for I haue sene all that Laban doth vnto ye. ¹³ I am ye god of Bethell where thou anoynteddest the stone ad where thou vowdest a vowe vnto me. Now aryse and gett the out of this countre ad returne vnto the lade where thou wast borne.

⁹ thus hath God take awaye youre fathers catell and geue the me. ¹⁰ For in buckynge tyme I lifted vp myne eyes and sawe in a dreame: and beholde the rammes that bucked the shepe were straked spotted and partie. ¹¹ And the angell of God spake vnto me in a dreame saynge: Iacob. And I answered: here am I. ¹² And he sayde: lyfte vp thyne eyes ad see how all therames that leape vpon the shepe are straked spotted and partie: for I haue sene all that Laban doth vnto ye.

³⁸ This xx. yere yt I haue bene wyth the thy shepe and thy gootes haue not bene baren and the rammes of thi flocke haue I not eate.

⁴⁰ Moreouer by daye the hete consumed me and the colde by nyghte and my slepe departed fro myne eyes.

⁴² And excepte the God of my father the God of Abraha and the God whome Isaac feareth had bene with me: surely thou haddest sent me awaye now all emptie. But God behelde my tribulation and the laboure of my handes: and rebuked the yester daye.

³⁵ And the childern of Israel dyd acordinge to the saynge of Moses: ad they borowed of the Egiptians: iewels of syluer, and iewels of gold, and rayment. ³⁶ And the Lorde gat the people fauoure in the syghte of the Egiptians: ad so they borowed and robbed the Egiptians.

¹⁶ which entreated Abram well for hir sake so that he had shepe oxsen ad he asses men seruantes mayde seruates she asses and camels.

² Abram was very rych in catell syluer and gold.

³⁵ and the LORDE hath blessed my master out of measure that he is become greate and hath geven him shepe oxen syluer and golde menservauntes maydeservauntes camels ad asses.

¹³ and the man waxed mightye and wet forth and grewe till he was exceadinge great ¹⁴ yt he had possessio of shepe of oxe and a myghtie housholde: so yt the Philestians had envy at him:

⁷ And youre father hath disceaued me and chaunged my wages .x. tymes: But God suffred him not to hurte me. ⁸ When he sayde the spotted shalbe thy wages tha all the shepe barespotted. Yf he sayde the straked shalbe thi rewarde tha bare all the shepe straked:

¹⁰ I am not worthy of the leaste of all the mercyes and treuth which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruaunte. For with my staf came I over this Iordane and now haue Igoten .ij. droves

¹¹ and take my blessynge that I haue brought the for God hath geuen it me frely. And I haue ynough of all thynges. And so he compelled him to take it.

⁷ for their ryches was so moch that they coude not dwell together and that the land where in they were straungers coude not receaue the: because of their catell.
