CAPI. XIII.
ANd Dauid counsayled with the cap∣taynes [unspec A] of thousandes & hundreds, and with all the Lordes, and sayde vnto all the congregacyon of Israell: Yf it seme you good, and to be of the Lorde our god, we wyl take and sende vnto oure brethren that are lefte in all the lande of Israell, & with them also, to the Preestes and Leuites whiche are in theyr cytyes and suburbes, togyther them togyther vnto vs. And we wyll brynge a∣gayne the Arke of the Lorde to vs: for we re∣garded it not in the dayes of Saull. And all the congregacyon was content that he shuld do so, for the thynge semed good in the eyes of all the people.

And they caryed the Arke of god in a new carte out of the house of Abinadab.
And Uza and his brother gyded the carte. [unspec C] And Dauid and all Israell playde before the Arke of god with al theyr myght, with syng∣ynge, and harpes, psalte••es, & tymbrels and trompettes. And when they came vnto the thresshynge floore of Chidon, Uza put forth his hande to holde the Arke, for the Oxen ❀ (beynge a lytle vvylde) stombled. And the Lorde was wrothe with Uza, and smote hym bycause he put his hande to the Arke. And there he dyed byfore God.
And Dauid was out of quiet, bycause the [unspec D] Lorde had rent a rent in Uza, and he called the name of that place, the ••eynge of Uza vnto this daye. And Dauid was afrayde of God that daye, sayenge: howe shall I brynge the Arke of god home to me? And so Dauid
