whan The VVorke of the first Daye WHen God which no beginninge had The Heauē and Earth gan frame And voyde and empty it behelde With darkenesse on the same 2 And on y e Waters which hee made that then aloft did stand And ouerwhelme the Earth so farre as yet appear'de no Lande 3. Then at his worde there Light came foorth deuided from the Shade And so the Eueninge and the Morne by him one Day was made ¶ The worke of the Second Daye THe Firmament he fram'de and fixte Betwene the Waters so As part aboue the same did rest the other part belowe 5. And gaue a Name thereto and sayd it Heauen shall called bee The Eueninge and the Morninge eke the second Day you see ¶ The worke of the Third Day THe third Day at his holy hest the Waters vnderneth Compelled were together goe in one place of the Earth 7. And then the Land appeared dry which Earth was called tho And bade it should bringe foorth greene herbe engendringe seede to groe 8. And fruictfull Trees of sundry sortes that seede might still retayne And bringe foorth fruicte each after kinde that on the Earth remayne 9. Thus euery thinge so came to passe as God before did say The Earth brought Herbe and Tree with fruict that still ingender may ¶ The worke of the Fourth Day ANd that there shoulde a diffrence bee betwene the Dayes and Nightes God bade that in the Firmament there should bee placed Lightes 11. Which should remayne from time to tyme appoyncted Signes to bee As Day from Day and Yeare from Yeare in order as wee see 12. The Sunne hee made the Day to rule the Moone the Night to guide And shininge Starres in Heauen hee set whose light doth aye abyde ¶ The worke of the Fifte Day THis Mighty Maker then gan saye let waters nowe forth bring Such Creatures as with life may moue and Fowle to flye with Winge 14. Upon the Earth and in the Face of Heauen or Starry Skye Straight way both Fishe and Fowle was made in kinde to multiplye 15. God blessed both and bade them growe the Fishe the Sea to fill And feathered Fowle vpon the Earth their kinde encreasinge still ¶ The worke of the Sixte Daye NOw let the Earth bringe foorth sayd God each liuinge thinge by kinde As Cattell Beast and worme that creepes his power the same assign'de 17. Thus when God sawe his handy worke was good and pleas'de him well Let vs make Man like vs sayd hee the rest of all t' excel 18. To haue the Rule of Fishe of Foule of Catell and the Earth And euery creeping thinge on ground that lyues and draweth breathe 19. And in the Image of him selfe did God Create him than Both Male and Female form'd hee them but first he made the Man 20. And blessed them the Earth to fill their Sex still to renewe And gaue them power vpon the Earth the same for to subdewe 21. And sayde beholde I haue you geuen of euery herbe to eate And euery Tree wherein is fruicte likewise to be your Meate 22. Also to euery Beaste on Earth and euery Birde that flies And creepinge Worme greene Herbe shall haue to feede vpon likewise 23. All what hee sayd so came to passe and he the same did see Ech kinde of thinge which hee had made was good so for to bee The Contentes of the Second Chapter The hallowinge of the Saboth day The Flouddes fowre of Paradice gay Howe in the same Man had his Seate The Tree forbidden hym to eate How Adam named Creatures all How Eue was made that first did fall And how that Mariage did begynne Betweene them twayne ere they did sinne THus was the Heauēs y e Earth y e Sea and Creatures all therein In sixe Dayes made and in the seauēth did God our God beginne 2. To rest from all his Labours done and Sanctified the same To bee a Day of rest to Man therein to prayse his Name 3. God made each Plaute in Fielde that growth Before in Earth it was And euery Hearbe before it grewe and euery other Grasse 4. And thus before that any Rayne vpon the Earth was founde Or any man to haue in vse the Tillage of the Ground 5. A mighty Mist ascended vp from of the Earth and so Bewatered the Face of all the Earth and Ground belowe 6. Then Man that of the Earth was made a liuinge Soule became By Breath of Life that God did breathe in Nosethrilles of the Man 7. And from the first God planted had a Garden fayre to see Wherein hee set this Man hee made the Keeper for to bee 8. And from the Earth God made to springe all fruictfull Trees so plaste As both might well the Eye delight and please the mouthe in taste 9. Two trees amyd this Garden grewe by power of sacred skill The one of Lyfe the other was of knowledge good and ill 10. From Eden went a Ryuer foorth to moyst this Garden than Which afterward deuided was and in foure heades became 11. And Pishon is the first of foure which round about doth goe The golden Land of Hauilah Wher th'Onix Stone doth growe 12. The second head is Gihon cald Which compasseth throughoute The Land of Ethiopia with water round aboute 13. The third is named Hy●ekel that passeth downe alonge The East side of Assyria Wyth myghty streame and stronge 14. And Euphrates the fourth is calde Whych Fruictfulnes doth showe And in the same do many Gemmes and precious Stones foorthe growe 15. Almyghty God this Adam toke and in this Garden set The same to dresse the same to keepe and of the Fruicte to eate 16. Of euery Tree that therein was God bade him eate his fil Except the Tree that 's in the mid'ste of Knowledge good and ill 17. God sayd that Day thou eat'st thereof thou for the same shalt Dye Therfore see that thou touche it not the taste thereof to trye 18. It is not good said God that man should be alone I see I wyll an helper make to him companion his to bee 19. Out of the ground did God then make ech beast vpon the Earth And euery Foule in th' ayre that flyes and all that draweth breathe 20. And God did bringe all beastes and foules to view of Adams Eye Which was to see what kynde of name he then would call them by 21 And Adam called euery Beast and euery Fowle by name As wee do vse at this same day to nominate the same 22. In slomber then was Adam cast and God a Ribbe did take Out from his side and of the same a Woman did he make And fild the place with Fleshe agayne and when her did awake 23. This is sayd he Bone of my Bones and Fleshe of mine I see Virago shal shee called bee as taken out from mee 24. And for this cause
