[The Pentateuch]

The Manna was as it had been co•ander ⟨p. xxiij⟩seed / and to see to like Bdellium. And y• people went about and gathered it / & groū de it in mills or bet it in mortars and book it in pans and made cakee of it. And the taste of it was like unto the taste of an oil cake And when the dew fell about the host in the night / the Manna fell therewith.

And y• people went aboute and gathered it / & groū de it in milles or bett it in morters and boke it in pannes and made cakee of it. And the tast of it was like vnto the tast of an oylecake And when the dewe fell aboute ye hoste in the nyghte / the Manna fell therewithe.

And when Moses heard the people weep in their households every man in the door of his tent / then the wrath of the Lord waxed hot exceedingly: and it grieved Moses also. And Moses said unto the Lord: wherefore dealest thou so cruelly with thy servant: wherefore do I not find favour in thy sight / seeing that thou puttest the weight of this people upon me? have I conceived all this people / or have I begot them / that thou shouldest say unto me / carry them in thy bosom (as a nurse beareth the sucking child) unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers? where should I have flesh to give unto all this people? For they weep unto me saying: give us flesh that we may eat. I •• not able to bear all this people alone / for it is to heavy for me. Wherefore if thou deal thus with me / fill me / I pray the / if I have found favour in thy sight and let me not see my wretchedness.
