God

Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked.

Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres.

There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume.

When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually,

Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.

Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God.

The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie.

Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth.

And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth.

And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish.

But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.

Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he.

And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.

For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.

Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.

There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.

Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.

Then God spake to Noah, saying,

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.

And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.

And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth.

Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things.
