2 And he sayde: Oh my Lordes, turne in I praye you, into your seruauntes house, and tary all nyght, and washe your feete, and ye shall ryse vp early to go in your wayes. Whiche sayde, nay: but we wyll byde in the streates all nyght.

3 And he preassed vpon them exceedinglye: and they returnyng in vnto hym, entred into his house, & he made them a feast, and did bake vnleuened bread, and they did eate.

4 And before they went to rest, the men of the citie euen the men of Sodome compassed the house rounde about, both olde and young, all people fro all quarters.

5 And they callyng vnto Lot, sayde vnto hym: Where are the men whiche came in to thee this nyght? bryng them out vnto vs, that we may knowe them.

6 And Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doores after hym.

7 And sayde: Nay, for Gods sake brethren, do not so wickedly.

8 Behold, I haue two daughters whiche haue knowen no man, them wyll I bryng out nowe vnto you, and do with them as it seemeth good in your eyes: only vnto these men do nothyng, for therefore came they vnder the shadowe of my roofe.
