And the young man, that was set to ouer se the herueste men answered and sayde: it is the Moabitish damosel, that came wyth Noemi oute of the countreye of Moab,
And the time when Noemi wyth Ruth the Moabitesse her doughter in lawe returned out of the countreye of Moab and came to Bethlehem, was in the begynning of barley harueste
And so they went both together vntyll they came to Bethlehem. And when they were come to Bethlehem, it was noysed thorow al the cyty and the wemen sayde: is not this Noemi?
But Ruth saide: entreate me not to leaue the, and to returne from after the, for whether thou goest, I will go, & where thou dwelleste, there I wil dwelle: thy people are my people, and thy God is my God.
When euen was come, the Lorde of the vineyarde sayde vnto hys Stewarde: call the labourers, and geue them their hyer, beginning at the laste, tyll thou come to the first.
and she sayde, let me I praye the, lease and gather after the heruest men, the eares that remayne, and so she came and hath continued euen from the morninge vnto now, and taryed not longe in the house.
