And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
and he seide eft to þe Lord, Þi strong veniaunce be not wrooth ayens me, if Y asaie, þat is, axe a signe, yit onys, and seke a signe in þe flees; Y preye, þat þe flees aloone be drie, and al þe erþe be moist with deew.
