| 14:36 | And the preaste shall commaunde them to emptie the house, before the Preaste goo into it to se the plage: that all that is in the house be not made vncleane, and then must the Preaste go in to se the house. |
| 14:37 | If the Preaste also se that the plage is in the walles of the house, and that there be holowe strakes pale or rede whych seme to be lower then the wall it selfe, |
| 14:38 | the Preaste shall go out at the house dores, and shut vp the house seuen dayes. |
| 14:39 | And the Preaste shall come agayne the seuenth daye, and yf he se that the plage be increased in the walles of the house, |

| 14:56 | for a swellynge for a scabbe, and for a whyte blyster. |
| 14:57 | To teache whan it must be made vncleane and cleane. Thys is the lawe of leprosye. |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
