For after the sonnes of God did companie with the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these be the mightie of the olde world, famous men. 5And God seing the malice of men was much on the earth: and that al the cogitation of their hart was bent to euil at al times, 6it[1] repented him that he had made man on the earth. And touched inwardly with sorrowe of hart, 7I wil, saith he: cleane take away man, whom I haue created, from the face of the earth; from man euen to beastes, from that which creepeth euen vnto the foules of the ayre. for it repenteth me that I haue made them.
