[The Pentateuch]

And he said: what meanest thou with all y• droves which I met. And he answered: to find grace in the sight of my lord. And Esau said: I have enough my brother / keep that thou hast unto thy self. Jacob answered: oh nay but if I have found grace in thy sight / receive my present of my hand: for I have seen thy face as though I had seen yt face of God: wherefore receive me to grace and take my blessing that I have brought thee / for God hath given it me freely. And I have enough of all things. And so he compelled him to take it.

And he sayde: what meanyst thou with all y• drooues which I mett. And he answered: to fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde. And Esau sayde: I haue ynough my brother / kepe that thou hast vnto thy silf. Jacob answered: oh nay but yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte / receaue my preasēt of my hāde: for I haue sene thy face as though I had sene yt face of God: wherfore receaue me to grace and take my blessynge that I haue brought the / for God hath geuen it me frely. And I haue ynough of all thynges. And so he compelled him to take it.

And he said: let us take our journey and goo / and I will goo in thy company. And he said unto him: my lord knoweth that I have tender children / ewes and kine with young under mine hand / which if men should overdry•• but even one day / the hole flock would dye. ⟨p. xlviij⟩Let my lord therefore goo before his servant and I will drive fair and softly / according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children / be able to endure: until I come to •• lord unto Seir.

And he sayde: let vs take oure iourney and goo / and I will goo in thy cōpany. And he sayde vnto him: my lorde knoweth that I haue tendre childern / ewes and kyne with yonge vnder myne hande / which yf men shulde ouerdry•• but euen one daye / the hole flocke wolde dye.
