The xx. Chapter.
[ A] THe same yeare that Harthan came to Aschod, where Sargē the kinge of the Assirians sent him, what tyme as he also be seged Aschdod, & wāne it ye same season: Thē spake the LORDE vnto Esaye ye sonne of A∣mos, sayenge: go and lowse of yt sack cloth frō thy loynes, and put of ye shues from thy fete. And so he dyd, goinge naked & barefo∣te. Then sayde the LORDE: where as my ser¦uaunt Esaye goeth naked and barefote, it is a token and signifienge of the thinge, that after thre yeare shal come vpō Egipte and Ethiopia. For euen thus shal the kinge of the Ass••rians driue both yonge and olde, as prisoners naked and barefote, out of Egi∣pte and Ethiopia, And shal dyscouer ye sha¦me [ B] of Egipte. They shalbe also at their wit¦tes ende, and ashamed one of another: the Egipcians of the Moryans, and the Mo∣rians of the Egipcians, at the sight of the∣ir glory.
Morouer they that dwel in ye Iles shal saye euen the same daye: beholde, this is ou¦re hope, to whom we fled to seke helpe, that we might be delyuered from the kinge of ye Assirians. How will we escape?
