In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.
2 Forsothe the erthe was idel and voide, and derknessis weren on the face of depthe; and the Spiryt of the Lord was borun on the watris.
The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water
3 And God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.
4 And God seiy the liyt, that it was good, and he departide the liyt fro derknessis,
And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse
5 and he clepide the liyt, dai, and the derknessis, nyyt. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, o daie.

6 And God seide, The firmament be maad in the myddis of watris, and departe watris fro watris.
And God sayd: let there be a fyrmament betwene the waters ad let it devyde the waters a sonder.
7 And God made the firmament, and departide the watris that weren vndur the firmament fro these watris that weren on the firmament; and it was don so.
Than God made the fyrmament and parted the waters which were vnder the fyrmament from the waters that were above the fyrmament: And it was so.
8 And God clepide the firmament, heuene. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the secounde dai.

10 And God clepide the drie place, erthe; and he clepide the gadryngis togidere of watris, the sees. And God seiy that it was good;
And god called the drye lande the erth and the gatheringe togyther of waters called he the see. And God sawe that it was good
11 and seide, The erthe brynge forth greene eerbe and makynge seed, and appil tre makynge fruyt bi his kynde, whos seed be in it silf on erthe; and it was doon so.
And God sayd: let the erth bringe forth herbe and grasse that sowe seed and frutefull trees that bere frute every one in his kynde havynge their seed in them selves vpon the erth. And it came so to passe:
12 And the erthe brouyte forth greene erbe and makynge seed bi his kynde, and a tre makynge fruyt, and ech hauynge seed by his kynde. And God seiy that it was good.

Than sayd God: let there be lyghtes in ye firmament of heaven to devyde the daye fro the nyghte that they may be vnto sygnes seasons days and yeares.
15 and shyne tho in the firmament of heuene, and liytne tho the erthe; and it was doon so.
And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.
16 And God made twei grete liytis, the gretter liyt that it schulde be bifore to the dai, and the lesse liyt that it schulde be bifore to the niyt;
And God made two great lyghtes A greater lyghte to rule the daye and a lesse lyghte to rule the nyghte and he made sterres also.
17 and God made sterris; and settide tho in the firmament of heuene, that tho schulden schyne on erthe,
And God put them in the fyrmament of heaven to shyne vpon the erth

And God created man after hys lycknesse after the lycknesse of god created he him: male and female created he them.
