an .C. yere. And the .C. yere complete / our lord god appered agayne to hym / & cōmaūded him that he with his wyf & his childern & ye wyues of them shold entre the shyppe with all maner of bestes / & all maner of foules also. &c̄. ¶And anone the flood came / & stode aboue all hylles xv. cubyte (Vide plura gen̄ .viio) ¶After the flood a greate dronkenesse betyde vnto Noe. & through occasyō of that drōkesse he blessyd his two sones. Sem & Iaphet / for the faders ho∣nour that they had to hym & for ye honest shame that they couered mekely ther fader membres whan he was slepynge. & his sone Cham / for his scornynge & his vnreuerence / he cursyd. ¶And here after saynt Austyn is made / ye fyr¦ste mencyon of boūdage / & of noblynesse con∣trary to it· For Noe sayd that Chā shold be ser¦uaūt in bondage to Sem & Iaphet / for his vn¦reuerēce. Neuertheles ye shall not trowe / that all that descēded of Cham were vnnoble mē & of no power. For they began fyrst to be mygh∣ty men of ye erthe. As it is open of Nemroth & the kyng of Canaan & Asco{rum}. Nor all of Sem & Iaphet were vertuous & noble & myghty mē whan almost euerche one fell in to the cryme of ydolatry / and were ofte tymes oppressed of other men. But this blessynge & this cursyng hath a respect to vertue & vyce / for ye whiche a man is called truly a noble mā or an vnnoble man. For he that is vertuo{us} is a noble mā & he that is vnuertuous is not noble. the same ma¦ner of wise tho that foloweth ye faith of abrahā rathar were called his childern than ye Iewes the whiche carnally descēded frō hym. Neuer¦theles they had a spyrytuall preuelege of god / for the faders meryt{is} & his blessyng. & these .iii sones oe Noe he beynge alyue after thy story of Phil••īs were born .xxiiii.M. & .vii.C. mē wy¦thout wym̄en & childern. And they had on thē thre prynces Nemroth. Iactan. & Suphen.
