The sixt Sundaye in Lent at Morning and Euening prayer. Exod. 9. 10.

[ A] THe Lorde sayde vnto Moyses, Go in vnto Pharao, and thou shalt tell him, Thus sayth the Lorde God of the 〈…〉〈…〉 Let my people go, that they may 〈…〉〈…〉 If thou refuse: to, let them go, and 〈…〉〈…〉 Beholde, the ande of the Lorde is 〈…〉〈…〉 is in the fielde (for) vpon horses, vpon asses, vpon camelles, vpon ouen, and vpon sheepe, there shall

be a mightie great 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 4 And the Lorde shall doe wonderfully betwéene the beastes of Israell and the beastes of Egypt, so that there shall nothing die of all that pertay∣neth to the children of Israell. 5 And the Lorde appoynted a time, saying, to morowe the Lorde shall finish this worde in the lade. 6 And the Lorde did that thing on the morowe, and all the cattell of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israell died not one. 7 And Pharao sent, and behold, there was not one of the cattel of the Israelites dead: And the hart of Pharao was hardened, and he did not let the people go. 8 And the Lorde sayd vnto Moyses and Aaron, [ B] Take your handes full of ashes out of the fornace, and Mos∣ses shall sprinkle it vp into the ayre in the sight of Pharao.

9 And it shall be dust in all the lande of Egypt, and shall be swelling sores with blaynes both on man and beast tho∣rowout all the land of Egipt. 10 And they tooke ashes out of the fornace, and stoode before Pharao, and Moses sprinck∣led it vp into the ayre: and there were swlling ores with blaynes, both in men and in beastes.

11 And the sorcerers could not stand before Moses because of the blaynes: for there were btches vpon the enchaunters and vpon all the Egyptians.* 1.1 12 And the Lord hardened the hart of Pharao, and he harkened not vnto them, as the ord had sayd vnto Moyses. 13 And the Lord sayde vnto Moy∣ses, Rise vp earely in the morning; and stande before Pha∣rao, and thou shalt tell him. Thus sayth the Lorde God of the Hebrues, Let my people go, that they may serue me. [ C]

14 Or else I will at this time sends all my plaguey vpon thine heart, and vpon thy seruants, and on thy people: that thou mayst know that there is none like me in all the earth.

15 For now I wil, stretch out my hand, that I may smite thée and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt perishe from the earth.* 1.2 16 And in verse déede for this cause haue I kept thée▪ for to shew thée my power, and that my name may

be declared throughout all the worlde.

17 Yet exaltest thou thy selfe against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 18 Beholde, to morowe this time I will sende downe a mightie great hayle, such a one as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was layde, vnto this time. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy beastes, and all that thou hast in the fielde: for vpon all the men and the beastes which are founde in the fielde, and not brought home; shall the hayle fall, and they shall die.

20 And as many as feared the worde of the Lord amongst the seruants of Pharao, made their seruants and their beasts lee ••••to the houses. 21 But he that regarded not the worde of she Lorde, left his seruants and his beastes in the field.

[ D] 22 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand vnto heauen, that there may be hayle in all the lande of E∣gypt, vpon man, and vpon beastes, and vpon all the hearbes of the fielde throughout the lande of Egypt.

23 And Moyses stretched forth his rod vnto heauen, and the Lord thundred and hayled, and the fire ranne along vp∣pon the grounde, and the Lord hayled in the lande of Egypt.

24 So there was hayle, and fire mingled with the h••••le so grieuous, and such as there was none throughout all the lan•••• of Egypt since people inhabited it.

25 And the hayle smote throughout all the land of Egypt, all that was in the field▪ both man and beast: and the hayle smote all the hearbes of the fielde, and broke all the trées of the fielde. 26 Onely in the lande of Gosen where the chil∣dren of Israell were, was there no hayle.

27. And Pharao sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and saide vnto them, I haue now sinned: the Lorde is righteous 〈◊〉〈◊〉 I and my people are vngodly. 28 Praye ye vnto the Lorde, that these thunderings of God and hayle may be 〈…〉〈…〉: and I will let you go, and ye shall are no longer.

29 ••••yses layde vnto him, Assoone as I am out of the

Citie, I will spread abroade my handes vnto the Lorde, and the thunder shal ceasse, neither shall there be any more haile: that thou mayst know howe that the earth is the Lordes.

30 But I know that thou and thy seruants yet feare not the face of the Lorde God. 31 And so the flaxe and the barlie were smitten, for the barly was shot vp, and the flaxe was boulled. 32 But the wheate and the rie were not smitten, for they were late sowne. 33 And Moises went out of the Citie from Pharao, and spred abroade his handes vnto the Lorde: and the thunder and hayle ceassed, neyther rayned it vpon the earth. 34 And when Pharao awe that the raine and the haile, and thunder were ceassed, he sinned yet more, and hardened his hart, he and his seruants. 35 And the hart of Pharao was hardened, neyther would he let the children of Israell go, as the Lord had sayde by the hand of Moises.
