The First Boke of Moses called Genesis

Unambiguous spelling has mostly been retained. Apparent errors that have been changed are noted at the end of the text. Uncertain spelling has been transcribed according to the sense of the text. The King James Version (which incorporated most of Tyndale's translation) has also been consulted. Abbreviating lines over letters have been transcribed as tildes (e.g. ""). Superscript letters also indicate abbreviations. Some paragraphs and chapter titles begin with a "": these have been retained. Sidenotes begin with a "*" and refer to the "*" in the adjoining paragraph. The text of some of them (identified below) is uncertain. Ligatures (e.g. for "ll") have been ignored. Slanted bars (virgulae suspensivae) are equivalent to modern commas.
