12 & there fel a rayne vpon the erth .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes.
13 And the selfe same daye went Noe, Sem, Ham & Iapheth, Noes sonnes, & Noes wyf & the .iij. wyues of hys sonnes with them in to the arcke:
14 bothe they & al maner of beastes in theyr kynde, and all maner of catell in their kynd, & al maner of wormes that crepe vpon the erth in their kynde, & al maner of byrdes in there kynde, & all maner of foules what soeuer had feders.
15 And they came vnto Noe into the arcke by couples, of al flesh that had breth of lyfe in it.
16 And they that came, came male & female of euery flesh acordyng as God commaunded him: & the Lorde shut the dore vpon hym.
17 And the floud came .xl. dayes and .xl. nyghtes vpon the erth, & the water increased & bare vp the arcke, & it was lyfte vp from of the erth.
18 And the water preuayled & increased exceadingly vpon the erth: & the arcke went vpon the toppe of the waters.
19 And the waters preuailed excedingly aboue mesure vpon the erth, so that all the hye hylles whych are vnder all the partes of heauen were couered
20 euen .xv. cubytes hye preuayled the waters, so that the hylles were couered.
