Then Noe toke of the hatches of the Arke, and sawe yt the face of the earth was drye. ¹⁴ So vpon the seuen and twentye daye of the seconde moneth the whole earth was drye. ¹⁵ Then spake God vnto Noe, and sayde: ¹⁶ Go out of the Arke, thou and thy wyfe, and thy sonnes, and thy sonnes wyues with the. ¹⁷ As for all the beastes that are with the, what so euer flesh it be (both foule & catell and all maner of wormes that crepe vpon the earth) let them go out with the, and be ye occupied vpon the earth, growe and multiplye vpon the earth. ¹⁸ So Noe wente out, with his sonnes, and with his wife, and with his sonnes wyues. ¹⁹ All the beastes also and all the wormes, and all the foules, and all that crepte vpon the earth, wente out of the Arke, euery one vnto his like. ²⁰ And Noe buylded an altare vnto ye LORDE, and toke of all maner of cleane beastes & of all maner of cleane foules, and offred bret sacrifices vpon ye altare. ²¹ And ye LORDE smelled the swete sauor, & sayde in his hert: I wyl hence forth curse the earth nomore for mas sake, for the ymaginacion of mans hert is euell, euen from the very youth of him. Therfore from hece forth I wil nomore smyte all that lyueth, as I haue done. ²² Nether shall sowynge tyme and haruest, colde and heate Sommer and wynter, daye and night ceasse so longe as the earth endureth.

And God sawe that it was good, ²² and blessed them, sayenge: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the waters of the sees, and let the foules multiplie vpon the earth. ²³ Then of the euenynge and mornynge was made the fifth daye. ²⁴ And God sayde: let ye earth brynge forth lyuynge soules, euery one after his kynde: catell, wormes & what as hath life vpon earth, euery one after his kynde.
