1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.
2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
and called the lyghte daye and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye

15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.
16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
And God made two great lyghtes A greater lyghte to rule the daye and a lesse lyghte to rule the nyghte and he made sterres also.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
And God put them in the fyrmament of heaven to shyne vpon the erth
