5 And Noe dyd acordynge to all yt the lorde comaunded hym:

6 and Noe was .vi. hundred yere olde when the floud of water came vppon the erth:

7 and Noe went and his sonnes and his wyfe and his sonnes wyves wyth hym in to the arke from the waters of the floud.

8 And of clene beastes and of beastes that ware vnclene and of byrdes and of all that crepeth vppo the erth

9 came in by cooples of every kynde vnto Noe in to the arke: a male and a female: even as God commaunded Noe.
