This figure is put here to vnderstande the presse that is put in the boke of Numeris: to shewe the disposici on of the twelf kynradis and of the dekenys aboute the ta bernakil.

Of the citeis of refute. and of the townes and placis assigned to the dekenis and preestis among the twelf tribus. Naason whan the childer of israel went out of egipt was prince of the kynrade of Juda. and so it is true that god seid to abraham: that the childer of israel shuld be i[n] thraldom in to the fift kynrade. if there be rekenyng by the lyne of the kynges. so that we calle not generacions by p[er]so nes. but by successions. as rekene after Mathe fro Juda to Naason. and he seith fyue tymes: he gate.
