And therefore I kept y• that thou shouldest not sin against me / nether suffered I the to come nigh her. Now therefore deliver the man his wife again / for he is a prophet. And let him pray fo: the that thou mayst live. But and if thou deliver her not again / be sure that thou shalt dye the death / with all that thou hast.

And God sayde vnto him in a dreame. I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thi herte. And therfore I kepte y• that thou shuldest not synne agenst me / nether suffred I the to come nygh her. Now therefore delyuer the mā his wyfe ageyne / for he is a prophete. And let him praye fo: the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne / be sure that thou shalt dye the deth / with all that thou hast.

And Abimelech said moreover unto Abraham: What sawest thou that moved the to do this thing?
