[The Pentateuch]

And all the whole multitude bade stone them with stones. But the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of witness / unto all the children of Israel. And the Lord said unto Moses: Howe longest all this people rail upon me / and how long will it be / ere they believe me / for all my signs which I have showed among them? I will smite them with the pestilence & destroy them / and will make of the a greater nation and a mightier then they.

And all the whole multitude bade stone them with stones. But the glorie of the Lorde appered in the tabernacle of witnesse / vnto all the childern of Israel. And the Lorde sayed vnto Moses: Howe longest all thys people rayle apon me / and how longe will it be / yer they beleue me / for all my signes whiche I haue shewed amonge them? I will smyte them with the p•stilence & destroy thē / and will make of the a greatter nacion and a mightier then they.

And Moses said unto the Lord: then¹ the Egyptians shall hear it / for thou broughtest this people with thy might from among them. And it will be told to the inhabitants of this land also / for they have heard likewise / that thou the Lord art among this people / and that thou art seen face to face / & y• t•y cloud standeth over them & that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloud / & in a pillar of fire by night. If thou shall kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations which have heard the fame of the / will speak saying: because yt Lord was not able to bring in this people in to • land which he swore unto them / therefore he slew them in the wilderness.

And Moses sayed vnto the Lorde: then¹ the Egiptians shall heare it / for thou broughtest this people with thy mighte from amonge them. And it wilbe tolde to the inhabiters of this lande also / for they haue herde likewise / that thou the Lorde art amōge this people / ād yt thou art sene face to face / & y ty cloude stondeth ouer them & that thou goest before them by daye tyme in a piler of a cloude / & in a piler of fyre by nyght. Yf thou shall kill all this people as thei were but one mā then the nacions which haue herde the fame of the / will speake sayenge: because yt Lorde was not able to bringe in this people in to londe which he swore vnto them / therfore he slewe them in the wildernesse.
