²²In the burning also and in the , and in the sepulchres of you provoked our Lord:In the burning also and in the tentation, and in the Sepulchres of concupiscence you prouoked our Lord:In incendio quoque, et in tentatione, et in Sepulchris concupiscentiæ provocastis Dominum :

²³and when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Go up, and possess the Land, that I have given you, and you contemned the commandment of your Lord God, and did not believe him, neither would you hear his voice:and when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Goe vp, and possesse the Land, that I haue geuen you, and you contemned the commandement of your Lord God, and did not beleeue him, neither would you heare his voice:et quando misit vos de Cadesbarne, dicens : Ascendite, et possidete terram, quam dedi vobis, et contempsistis imperium Domini Dei vestri, et non credidistis ei, neque vocem ejus audire voluistis :

²⁸lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say; The Lord could not bring them in unto the Land, that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore did he bring them forth, that he might kill them in the wilderness.lest perhappes the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought vs, say; The Lord could not bring them in vnto the Land, that he promised them, and he hated them: therfore did he bring them forth, that he might kil them in the wildernes.ne forte dicant habitatores terræ, de qua eduxisti nos : Non poterat Dominus introducere eos in terram, quam pollicitus est eis, et oderat illos : idcirco eduxit, ut interficeret eos in solitudine :
