[The Pentateuch]

Jacob was wroth & chode with Laban: Jacob also answered and said to him: what have I tre••aced or what have I offended / that thou followeddest after me? Thou hast searched all my stuff / and what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? put it here before thy brethren & mine / & let them judge betwixt us both. This xx. year y• I have been with the / thy sheep and thy ••oores have not been barren / and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. What soever was torn of beasts I brought it not unto y• / ⟨p. xlv⟩but made it good myself: of my hand diddest thou require it / whether it was stolen by day or night Moreover by day the heat consumed me / and the cold by night / and my sleep departed fro mine eyes.

Iacob was wrooth & chode with Labā: Iacob also answered and sayde to him: what haue I tre••aced or what haue I offended / that thou foloweddest after me? Thou hast searched all my stuffe / and what hast thou founde of all thy housholde stuffe? put it here before thi brethern & myne / & let thē iudge betwyxte vs both. This xx. yere y• I haue bene wyth the / thy shepe and thy ••oores haue not bene baren / and the rammes of thi flocke haue I not eatē. What soeuer was torne of beastes I broughte it not vnto y• / ⟨p. xlv⟩but made it good mysilf: of my hāde dydest thou requyre it / whether it was stollen by daye or nyghte Moreouer by daye the hete consumed me / and the colde by nyghte / and my slepe departed fro myne eyes.

Thus have I been .xx. year in thy house / and served thee .xiiij. years for thy .ij. daughters / and vi. year for thy sheep / and thou hast changed my reward .x. times. And except the God of my father / the God of Abraham and the God who me Isaac feareth / had been with me: surely thou haddest sent me away now all empty. But God beheld my tribulation / and the labour of my hands: and rebuked the yester day.
