And my master made messier saying: Thou shalt not take a wife to my son / among the daughters of the Canaanites in whose lā de I dwell. But thou shalt goo unto my fathers house and to my •ynred / and there take a wife unto my son. And I said unto my master. What if the wife will not follow me▪ And he said unto me: The LORD before whom I walk / will send his angel with thee and prosper thy journey that thou shalt take a wife for my son / of my kindred and of my fathers house. But and if (when thou comest unto my kindred) they will not give the one / than shall thou bear no peril of mine oath.
And my master made mes•ere saynge: Thou shalt not take a wyfe to my sonne / amonge the doughters of the cananyres in whose lā de I dwell. But thou shalt goo vnto my fathers house and to my •ynred / and there take a wyfe vnto my sonne. And I sayde vnto my master. What yf the wyfe will not folowe me▪ And he sayde vnto me: The LORde before whome I walke / wyll sende his angell with the and prosper thy iourney that thou shalt take a wyfe for my sonne / of my kynred and of my fathers house. But and yf (when thou comest vnto my kynred) they will not geue the one / thā shall thou bere no perell of myne oothe.
And I came this day unto the well and said: O LORD / the God of my master Abraham / if it be so that thou makest my journey which I go / prosperous: behold / I stand by this well of water / And when a virgin cometh forth to draw water / and I say to her: give me a little water of thy pitcher to drink / and she say again to me: drink thou / and I will also draw water for thy camels: that same is the wife / whom the LORD hath prepared for my masters son.
And I came this daye vnto the well and sayed: O LORde / the God of my master Abrahā / yf it be so that thou makest my iourney which I go / prosperous: beholde / I stōde by this well of water / And when a virgyn cometh forth to drawe water / and I saye to her: geue me a litle water of thi pitcher to drynke / and she saye agayne to me: dryncke thou / and I will also drawe water for thy camels: that same is the wife / whom the LORde hath prepared for my masters sonne.
