[The Pentateuch]

How goodly are the tents of Jacob and thi•e habitations Israel / even as the broad ••leyes and as gardens by the rivers side / as the tents which the Lord hath pitched & as •perstrces upon the water. The water shall flow out of his bucket and his seed shall be many waters / and his king shall be higher then Agag / And his kingdom ⟨image 293⟩shall be exalted. God that brought him out of Egypt is as the strength of an unicorn unto him / and he shall eat the nations that are his enemies and break their bones and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched him self and lay d••ne as a lion and as a lioness / who shall stir him up? blessed is he that blesseth the / and cursed is he that curseth thee.

How goodly are the tentes of Iacob and thi•e habitacions Israel / euen as the brode ••leyes and as gardens by the ryuers syde / as the tentes which the Lorde hath pitched & as •perstrces apon the water. The water shall flowe out of his boket and his seed shall be many waters / and his kynge shalbe hyer then Agag / And his kyngdome ⟨image 293⟩shalbe exalted. God that broughte him out of Egipte is as the strenght of an vnycorne vnto him / and he shall eate the nacions that are his enemies and breake their bones and perse them thorow with his arowes. He couched him selfe and laye d••ne as a lion and as a lyonesse / who shall stere him vp? blessed is he that blesseth the / ād cursed is he that curseth the.

And Balac was wroth with balaam and smote his hands together / and said unto him: I sent for the to curse mine enemies: & behold / thou hast blessed them this three times / and now get the quickly unto thy place. I thought that I would promote the unto honour / but the Lord hath kept the back from worship. And Balaam said unto Balac: told I not thy messengers which thou sentest unto me saying: If balac would give me his house full of silver and gold / I can not pass the mouth of the Lord / to do ether good or bad of mine own mind. What the Lord sayeth / that must I speak. And now behold / I goo unto my people: come let me showeth / what this people shall do to thy folk in the later days.
