1 And it came to passe, that when men began to be multiplied in the vpper face of the earth, there were daughters borne vnto the:

2 And the sonnes of God also sawe the daughters of men that they were fayre, & they toke them wyues, such as theyliked, from among them all.

3 And the Lorde sayde: My spirite shall not alwayes stryue with man, because he is fleshe: yet his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeres.

4 But there were Giantes in those dayes in ye earth: yea & after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of me, and hadde begotten chyldren of them, the same became myghtie men of the worlde, and men of renowme.

5 But God sawe that the malice of man was great in the earth, and all the imagination of the thoughtes of his heart was only euyll euery day.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man vpon the earth, & he was touched with sorowe in his heart.

7 And the Lorde sayde: I wyll from the vpper face of the earth, destroy man whom I haue created, from man vnto cattell, vnto worme, and vnto foules of the ayre: For it repenteth me that I haue made them.

8 But Noah founde grace in the eyes of the Lorde.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a iust man, and perfect in his generations: And Noah walked with God.

10 Noah begat three sonnes, Sem, Ham, and Iapheth.
