CHAPTER VI.
Off Adamis generatioun
And of his sounis lamentatioun.
And of his sounis lamentatioun.
Adam murnit ane hundreþ ȝeir
Abell his sonnis slauchter deir,
And quhen þat slauchter was forȝettin
On Eve Adam Syþ hes gottin.
Seyth gat Enos þat vsit to call
On God in till his werkis all,
In prayer and in oresoun,
And in speciall deuotioun.
Enos gat, þe buik can tell,
Caynaane, þat gat Malaliell;
Malaliell he Iaryt gat,
The quhilk gat Enok eftir þat.
This Enok fand, as I hard tell,
First with lettres for to spell,
And he tuk in to delyte
To set togiddir fast and wryte.
In till his tyme he buikis wrayte
That drownit war in Noyes spayte.
Till God he was in all plesand,
Thairfore he is ȝitt levand,
Bydand þe Antecristis come,
Before þe mekle day of dome.
Off Enok come Matussale
Of quhome Lamek [that] gat Noye.
Now þe first eild endis heir,
In to þe quhilk ay ȝeir be ȝeir
Saxtene hundreth saxty and sevin,
Gife þat þe Ebrewyis rekkynnis evin;
The ten and saxty clerkis wyiss
As þai fand in þair storyis
Twa thousand and tua hundreþ ȝeir
And foure and fourtie passit cleir,
Thai vsit to count in þair reknyng
Than fra þe wardlis begyning,
Gife ony lettres þan þai wrayte,
Thair vse was þan to sett þair dait;
As we now fra þe birth of God
Rekkyinnis ȝeiris evin and ode,
Sua rekkynnit þai in þair counting
Fra þe wardlis begynning.
