These are the three sonnes of Noah: and of them was the whole earth ouerspread.

And Noah began to bee an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard.

And he dranke of the wine, and was drunken, and hee was vncouered within his tent.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakednesse of his father, and told his two brethren without.

And Shem and Iaphet tooke a garment, and layed it vpon both their shoulders, and went backward, and couered the nakednesse of their father, and their faces were backward, and they saw not their fathers nakednesse.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him.

And he said, Cursed bee Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall hee be vnto his brethren.

And hee saide, Blessed bee the LORD God of Shem, and Canaan shalbe his seruant.

God shall enlarge Iaphet, and he shal dwel in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shalbe his seruant.

And Noah liued after the flood, three hundred and fifty yeeres.

And all the dayes of Noah were nine hundred & fifty yeeres, and he died.
