Geneses Chap. 1th

In the begin of time God created the
[1] heavens, earth and all that in them are
[1] The earth was void, and without form, dark
ness was on the face of the deep; and the
Spirit of the Lord move on the fa ser-
face of the water. God said let their
be light, and light sprang from dark-
ness; He devided the Light from the dar-
kness, the former he call day, the latter
night, this was the first day. On the sec-
ond day, God made a firmament, which
he called heaven, in the midst of the water
deviding the waters from that below
the firmament. On the third day God com
manded the dry land to appear, to bring
forth grass, herb, and fruits. And the
waters under the heavens to gather in one
place, which he called Seas. And these
God saw Good. On the fourth God
commanded that their shoul[d] be
lights in the firmaments of heaven;
And he made two great lights the one
to rule the days, othe the other to rule the
nights, and ordained that they should be
for signs, and seasons and day and
nights; and he made the stars also. And
God saw that it was good. On the six
5th day God caused the warters to bring
forth aboundently of creatures that
has life, and fowls to fly in the heav[...]ns
and great whales, and every living cr[...]
atures after their Kind; and said unto
them be fruitfull, and multiply, and
fill the waters in the seas, and let fowls
multiply on the earth. On the sixth
day God said let the earth bring
forth living creatures; catles, creep-
ing things and beast after their Kind.
And God said let us make man in [our]
own image, after our likeness, and let
them have dominion ove the fish of
the sea, and over all the earth, and
upon every creeping thing that
creapeth upon the earth. And man
was created, male and female; And
God blessed them, and said be fruitful
