The first Chapter.
The fyrst Chapiter.
IN the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was void and empty / and darkness was upon the deep / and the spirit of god moved upon the water
IN the begynnynge God created heaven and erth. The erth was voyde and emptie / ād darcknesse was vpon the depe / and the spirite of god moved vpon the water
Than God said: let there be light and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good: & divided the light from the darkness / and called the light day / and the darkness night: and so of the evening and morning was made the first day
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte. And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: & devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse / and called the lyghte daye / and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye
And God said: let there be a firmament between the waters / and let it divide the waters a sunder. Than God made the firmament and parted the waters which were under the firmament / from the waters that were above the firmament: And it was so. And God called the firmament heaven / And so of the evening and morning was made the second day
