8Who in no by no means, not at all · Vulgate: nequaquam assenting to that wicked Vulgate: operi nefario, said to her: Behold, my master having delivered all things unto me, knoweth not what he hath in his own house:Who in no wise assenting to that wicked act, said to her: Behold, my maister hauing deliuered al thinges vnto me, knoweth not what he hath in his owne house:Qui nequaquam acquiescens operi nefario, dixit ad eam : Ecce dominus meus, omnibus mihi traditis, ignorat quid habeat in domo sua :

15and he heard my voice, he left the cloak that I held, and fled forth.and he heard my voice, he left the cloake that I held, and fled forth.et audisset vocem meam, reliquit pallium quod tenebam, et fugit foras.
