1 The lorde visyted Sara as he had sayde and dyd vnto her acordynge as he had spoken.

2 And Sara was with childe and bare Abraha a sonne in his olde age euen the same season which the LORde had appoynted.

3 And Abraham called his sonnes name that was borne vnto him which Sara bare him Isaac:

4 and Abra circucysed Isaac his sone whe he was .viij. dayes olde as God commaunded him

5 And Abraha was an hundred yere olde when his sonne Isaac was borne vnto him.

6 And Sara sayde: God hath made me a laughinge stocke: for all yt heare will laugh at me

7 She sayde also: who wolde haue sayde vnto Abraham that Sara shulde haue geuen childern sucke or yt I shulde haue borne him a sonne in his olde age:

8 The childe grewe and was wened and Abraham made a great feast the same daye that Isaac was wened.

9 Sara sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egiptian which she had borne vnto Abraham a mockynge.

10 Then she sayde vnto Abraham: put awaye this bondemayde and hyr sonne: for the sonne of this bondwoman shall not be heyre with my sonne Isaac:

11 But the wordes semed verey greavous in Abrahams syghte because of his sonne.

12 Than the LORde sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greavous vnto the because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde: But in all that Sara hath saide vnto the heare hir voyce for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

13 Moreouer of the sonne of the Bondwoman will I make a nation because he is thy seed.

14 And Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng and toke brede and a bottell with water and gaue it vnto Hagar puttynge it on hir shulders wyth the lad also and sent her awaye. And she departed and wadred vpp a nd doune in the wyldernes of Berseba.
