¶ The .vj. Chapter.
And it came to pass / wham men began to multiply upon the earth and had be got them daughters / the sons of God saw the daughters of men that / they were fair / and toke unto them wives / which they best liked among them all. And the LORd said: My spirit shall not alway strive with man / for they are flesh. Nevertheless I will give them yet space / and hundred and .xx. years
ANd it came to passe / whā men begā to multiplye apō the erth ād had be got them doughters / the sonnes of God sawe the doughters of men that / they were fayre / and toke vnto them wyves / which they best liked amōge thē all. And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not allwaye stryve withe man / for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space / and hundred and .xx. yeres
There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men and had begotten them children / the same children were the mightiest of the world and men of renown ⟨image 16⟩And when the LORD saw y• the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth / and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually / he repented that he had made man upon the earth and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made / from of the face of the earth: both man / beast / worm and foul of the air / for it repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noah found grace in the sight of the LORde.
