[Cap. 7.]
The Contentes of the Seuenth Chapter.
Of Noahs entraunce in the Arke,VVho went with him abourd this Barke,
12
VVherein all things were drownd that stood.
1
And God to righteous Noah sayd,into the Arke now goe,
And take with thee thy Houshold al,
to enter in also.
2
For in this generation,I haue thee perfect found:
A man vnspotted of thy lyfe,
and in my doctrine sound.
3
And take with thee, of al cleane Beastes,iust seuen of eu'ry kinde,
Male and Female, and of vncleane,
as I haue thee assignde,
4
A payre of eche: of Birdes likewise,that flies in th' Aire aboute,
Male, and Female, by couples seuen,
of euery sort throughout.
5
That they on earth, their seede may saue:for seuen dayes hence, wyl I
Upon the Earth send downe such Rayne,
as all thereon shall dye.
6
And fortie Daies, and forty Nightes,this Rayne shall neuer cease,
Tyl all on earth destroyed bee,
through mighty Flouds increase.
7
And Noah did accordinglye,as God commaunded than:
Six hundreth yeares, was hee of Age,
when that this Floud began.
8
Into the Arke, then Noah went,on drye land as it stoode:
His Sonnes, his wyfe, & his Sonnes wyues,
from water of the flood.
[12]
9
Of Beasts that's cleane and eke vncleane,of Byrdes and Wormes also,
Came in by couples in their kinde,
within the Arke to goe.
10
And loke what day God poynted had,the Water should appeare,
It came to passe of Noahs lyfe,
the iust sixe hundreth yeare.
11
And in the second Month therof,vpon the seuententh day,
Were all the fountaynes of the depth,
broke open by the way.
12
The windowes of the Heauens also,Were opened by and bye
And forty Dayes, and forty nightes,
it rayn'de continuallye.
13
When Noah and his three Sonnes nowe,were entered in the Arke,
With Noahs Wife, and his Sonnes Wiues,
and all aboord the Barke.
14
Then Beast and Catell in there kynde,and Woormes that crepe on grounde,
And Birdes that flye, and Fethers beare,
what els on Earth was founde:
15
Came vnto Noah in the Arke,by couples on a rowe:
Male, and Female, of euery Fleshe,
Which breath of lyfe did blowe.
16
The dore that in the Arke was made,which open yet did stand,
God put it too, and shut it fast,
with his Almighty Hand.
17
And then the Floudes began to swell,and Reine came downe withall,
13
continually did fall.
18
The Arke which on the Ground yet stode,was now with water soft
Borne vp, from of the Earth alowe,
and went with Waues aloft.
19
And passed ouer tops of trees,so mighty was the Floode,
That Mountaines stretching to the Cloudes,
were cou'red as they stoode.
20
The Waters grew and did encrease,and that exceedingly,
As did the highest Hilles surmount
ful Fifteene Cubites hie.
21
Thus was all Fleshe on earth distroyd,Byrd, Cattell, Beast and Man,
And all that had the breath of lyfe,
on Land abydyng than.
22
Only Noah reserued wasand they that with him went:
The Flood preuayled til the tyme,
thryse fyftye dayes were spent.
