wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate.
whi þerfor schulen we die, while thou seest? boþe we and oure lond schulen be thine, bie thou vs in to þe kyngis seruage, and yyue thou seedis, lest þe while þe tiliere perischith, þe lond be turned in to wildirnesse.
