[The Pentateuch]

And then ye came unto me every one and said: Let us send men before us, to search us out the land and to bring us word again, both what way we shall goo up by, and unto what cities we shall come. And the saying pleased me well ⟨image 321⟩and I toke .xij. men of you, of every tribe one. And they departed and went up in to the high country and came unto the river Escoll, and searched it out, and toke of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down unto us and brought us word again and said: it is a good land which the Lord our God doeth give us.

And then ye came vnto me euery one and sayed: Let us sende men before us, to serche us out the londe and to brynge us worde agayne, both what waye we shall goo vpp by, and vnto what cities we shall come. And the sayenge pleassed me well ⟨image 321⟩and I toke .xij. men of you, of euery trybe one. And they departed and went vp in to the hye contre and came vnto the ryuer Escoll, and serched it out, and toke of the frute of the londe in their hondes and brought it doune vnto us and brought us worde agayne and sayde: it is a good lande which the Lorde oure God doeth geue us.

Notwithstanding ye would not consent to goo up, but were disobedient unto the mouth of the Lord your God, and murmured in your tents and said: because the Lord hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us in to the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us. How shall we goo up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts saying: the people is greater and taller than we, and the cities are great and walked even up to heaven, and moreover we have seen the sons of the Enakimes there.

Notwithstondinge ye wolde not consente to goo vpp, but were dishobedient vnto the mouth of the Lorde youre God, ād murmured in youre tentes and sayde: because the Lorde hateth us, therfore he hath brought us out of the londe of Egipte, to delyuer us in to the handes of the Amorites and to destroye us. How shall we goo vpp? Oure brethern haue discoraged oure hartes sayenge: the people is greater and taller than we, ād the cities are greatte and walked euen vpp to heauen, and moreouer we haue sene the sonnes of the Enakimes there.
