Lettering: Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram, dicit ad Noe: finis universae carnis venit coram me, repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eomm, & ego disperdam eos cum terra. Fac tibi Arcam de lignis leuigatis mansiunculas in Arca facies, et bitumine linies intrinsecus & extrin secus & c. Gen. c. 6.
