[The Pentateuch]

And they said unto him: Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said: in the tent. And he said: I will come again unto thee as soon as the fruit can live. And lo: Sarah thy wife shall have a son. That heard Sarah / out of the tent door which was behind his back. Abraham and Sarah were both old and well stricken in age / and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner as it is with wives. And Sarah laughed in her self saying: Now I am waxed old / shall I give my self to lust / and my lord old also?

And they sayde vnto him: Where is Sara thy wife? And he sayde: in the tent. And he sayde: I will come agayne vnto the as soone as the frute can lyue. And loo: Sara thy wife shall haue a sonne. That herde Sara / out of the tent doore which was behind his backe. Abraham and Sara were both olde and well stryken in age / and it ceased to be with Sara after the maner as it is wyth wyves. And Sara laughed in hir selfe saynge: Now I am waxed olde / shall I geue my selfe to lust / and my lorde olde also?

Than said the LORD unto Abraham: wherefore doth Sarah laugh saying: shall I of asuer•ebere a child / now when I am old? is the thing to hard for the LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee / as soon as the fruit can have life / And Sarah shall have a son. Than Sarah denied it saying: I laughed not / for she was afraid. But he said: yes thou laughedst.

Than sayd the LORde vnto Abrahā: wherfore doth Sara laughe saynge: shal I of asuer•ebere a childe / now when I am olde? is the thinge to harde for the LORde to do? In the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the / as soone as the frute can haue lyfe / And Sara shall haue a sonne. Than Sara denyed it saynge: I laughed not / for she was afrayde. But he sayde: yes thou laughtest.
