Sexagesima Sunday at Euening prayer.
Genesis. 6.ANd it came to passe, that when men began to be mul∣tiplied in the vpper face of the earth, there were daughters borne vnto them. 2. And the sonnes of God also sawe the daughters of men that they were fayre, and they tooke them wyues, such as they lyked, from among them all. 3 And the Lorde sayde, My spirite shall not alwayes striue with man, because he is fleshe: yet hys dayes shall be an hundred and twentie yeares.
4 But there were Gyantes in those dayes in the earth: yea and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daugh∣ters of men, and had begotten children of them, the same be∣came mightie men of the worlde, and men of renowne.
5 But God sawe that the malice of man was great in the earth, and all the imagination of the thoughtes of his heart (vvas) onely euill euery day. 6 And it repented the Lorde that he had made man vpon the earth, and he was touched with sorowe in his heart. 7 And the Lorde sayde, I will from the vpper face of the earth, destroyman whom I haue created: from man vnto cattel vnto worme, and vnto foules of the ayre: For it repenteth me that I haue made them.
