[The Pentateuch]

And behold / ye are risen up in your fathers stead / the increase of sinful men / to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord to Israel ward. For if ye turn away from after him / he will yet again leave the people in the wilderness / so shall ye destroy all this folk.

And beholde / ye are rysen vp in youre fathers stede / the encrease of synfull men / to augmente the ferse wrath of the Lorde to Israel warde. For yf ye turne awaye from after him / he wyll yet agayne leue the people in the wildernesse / so shall ye destroy all this folke.

And they went near him and said: we will build sheepfolds here for our sheep and for our cattle / and cities for our children: But we our selves will go ready armed before the children of Israel / until we have brought them unto their place. And our children shall dwell in the strong cities / because of the inhabitants of the land. And we will not return unto our houses / until the children off ⟨image 307⟩Israel have inherited: every man his inheritance. For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan forward / because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

And they went nere him ād sayed: we will bylde shepefoldes here for oure shepe and for oure catell / and cities for oure childern: But we oure selues will go ready armed before ye childern of Israel / vntill we haue broughte them vnto their place. And oure childrē shall dwell in the stronge cities / because of the inhabiters of the londe. And we will not returne vnto oure housses / vntill the childern off ⟨image 307⟩Israel haue enhereted: euery man his enheritaunce. For we will not enheret with them on yonder syde Iordane forwarde / because oure enheritaunce is fallen to vs on this syde Iordane eastwarde.
