I thought that peradv[~e]ture the feare of God was not in this place/ and that they shulde sley me for my wyfes sake: yet in very dede she is my sister/ the doughter of my father/ but not of my mother: and became my wyfe.

Moreouer of the sonne of the Bondwoman will I make a nation/ because he is thy seed.
