Sonne Accordinge to th'appoincted time that God did say was done Thus in his olde Age Abraham a Father was become 3. And Abraham did call the name of him that Sara bare Isack and then this Abraham with diligence and care 4. Dyd Circumcise his little Sonne when hee was eight Dayes olde As God before commaunded had in order howe hee shoulde 5. An hundreth yeares was hee of age when Isaac was borne But Sara sayd nowe God hath made mee to bee laught to scorne 6. Who would haue sayd to Abraham that Sara sucke should geue For in his Age I haue him borne a Sonne Longe may hee liue 7. The Childe did growe and Weyned was and then as was the guise Uppon that Day hee made a Feast in very solemne wise 8. Then Sara sawe how Hagars Sonne that was th' Egiptian Mayde Became a scornefull mockinge Ladde to Abraham shee sayd 9. This Bond mayde see thou put away and eke her Sonne also Hee shall not ioyne with Isaac my Sonne as Heyre I troe 10. This sayinge greeued Abraham and nipt him at the heart Because from Ismaell his Sonne hee loth was to depart 11. But God thus spake to Abraham greue not hereat at all For Ismaell nor Bondmayde thine for Isaac I le call 12. Heare Saras voyce and do therein as shee hath sayd to thee For as I sayd in Isaac thy Seede shall called hee 13 Also the Sonne of thy Bondmayde because hee 's of thy Seede I promise the I wil hym make A Nation great in deede 14 So Abraham rose earely vp and did him ready make And eke prepar'de for Ismael and this pore Hagars sake 15 Breade and wyth water Bottel filde and to her gaue it there Setting the same her shoulders on and Lad also to beare 16 And thus a way was Hagar sent who wandred vp and downe In wildernes of Berseba far of from Cote or Towne 17 In time she had the water spente that in the Bottell was Her Sonne through want was like to dye a woful mothers case 18 She cast the Lad vâ—der a Bushe and went on th' other side And sat her downe a Bowe shot of sayinge whatere be tide 19. I will not see the death of him and therewith all shee wepte And wronge her handes with greuous grones continuall mone shee kept 20. But God did heare the cryinge voyce of this her Lad or Childe And out of Heauen Gods Angell spake with woordes to Hagar milde 21. What ayleth thee â–ª hee not afraide stand vp therefore and rise For God hath heard thy only Sonne where as hee lies and cries 22. Arise therefore the Lad lift vp and take him by the hand I will of him a People make and mighty for to stande 23. And God her Eyes did open so as shee a Well did see With water did her Bottel fyll and there wythal dyd shee Giue Drynke vnto her Louing Chylde that erste nye deade was hee 24 And so God styll was wych the Lad In Wyldernes he dwelt He grewe a pace an Archer was and Bowe and Arrowes felt 25 And when he grew an hable man and for a woman fitte His Mother out of Egipt Land a wyfe there did him git 26 And at that tyme it chaunced so Abimelech the kynge Anâ— Phicoll his chyefe Captayne spake to Abraham saying 37 God is wyth thee in al thou doest and therfore sweare to me â–ª Euen by the name of lyuing God Whâ—ch hath donne much for thee 28 That thou wilt do to mee no hurte nor to my Chyldren deare Nor yet to Chylders Chyldren myne I say thus shalt thou sweare 29 To deale with mee and Country myne Where thou a straunger wast As I haue shew'de my selfe to thee in kindnesse that is past I will so sweare sayd Abraham and tooke such Oth at last 30. Ere this the Seruauntes of the Kinge by force had tane away A Well that Abraham had Digg'de and therefore did hee say 31. With some rebuke vnto the Kinge thy Seruauntes beinge stronge Haue tane away by violence my Well and donne mee wronge 32. The Kinge thus sayd I knowe not who hath done this thinge to thee Also agayne vnto this Daye thou neuer tolde it mee Yet neither heard I of the same it shall amended bee 33. And Abraham gaue to the Kinge of Sheepe and Oxen faire And both of them together made a Bond of Frendship there 34. And seuen Ewe Lamdes did Abraham alone together â—et What meane these Lambes then sayde the Kinge alone that 's hyther set 35. These seuen Ewe Lambes sayd Abraham thou shalt take at my hand That they may witnesse vnto mee the Well to vnderstande 36. Was Digde by mee and to this Daye thus Called is the place Berseba for because that there they Sworne together was And then the Kinge and Phicol both rose vp and turnde agayne Unto the Lande of Philistims whereof he King did raygne â–ª 38. And Abraham did plant a Groue wherein he digde a Wel That he therein the name of God th' almighty Lord to tel 39. Continually did cald vpon with perfect fayth and stronge And in the land of Philistims remained very longe The Contentes of the XXII Chapter The fayth of Abram proued is in offringe of his Sonne How Chryst from God is promised for VVorldes redemption Of Nahor Abrams brother eke the generation AFter these thinges were sayd done it came to passe also That God did proue this Abraham if fayth he had or no 2. And so the Lorde then did him cal by name of Abrahame Who answered with humble Sprite behold Lord here I am 3. Sayd God to hym now take thy Sonne That 's Isahack by name Whom thou dost loue to Moriah land thou thither bryng the same 4. Thy onely Sonne there sacrifyce for sacrifyce â—o me Uppon one of the mountaynes there which I wil shew to thee 5. Then Abraham rose early vp in morne before the Sunne His Asse he sadled and preparde and iourney his begunne 6 He toke two young men of his owne and Isahack lykewyse And wood did cleaue and ready make to burne wyth Sacrifyce 7. Then Abraham with his young men and Isahack also Rose vp and got them to the place whereto God had him goe 8. The third day Abraham lift vp his eyes and saw the place Far of and sayd to his young men staye here with th'Asse a space 9 I and the Lad wil yonder goe and worship as we oughte And after come agayne to you so tooke they wood they brought 10. And layd the same vpon the backe of Isahack to beare But he a Knyfe toke in his hand and fyer that was there 11.
