Morouer all the worlde had one tonge & language.

Now as they wente towarde the East, they founde a playne in ye londe of Synear, & there they dwelt,

& saide one to another: Come on, let vs make bryck & burne it. And they toke bryck for stone, & slyme for morter,

And sayde: Come, let vs buylde a cite & a tower, whose toppe maye reach vnto heaue, yt we maye make vs a name, afore we be scatred abrode in all londes.

Then came ye LORDE downe, to se ye cite & tower, yt ye childre of me had buylded.

And ye LORDE saide: Beholde, the people is one, & haue one maner of language amoge the all, & this haue they begonne to do, & wil not leaue of from all yt they haue purposed to do.

Come on, let vs go downe, & cofounde their tonge eue there, yt one vnderstonde not what another saieth.

Thus ye LORDE scatred the fro thece in all lodes, so yt they left of to buylde the cite.

Therfore is it called Babell, because the LORDE cofounded there the language of all the worlde, and from thece scatred them abrode in to all londes.
