Moses and Aaron did as God had commanded them, and smote the flood with the rod tofore Pharaoh and his servants, which turned into blood, and the fishes that were in the river died, and the water was corrupt.  And the Egyptians might not drink the water, and all the water of Egypt was turned into blood.  And in likewise did the enchanters with their witchcraft, and the heart of Pharaoh was so indurate that he would not let the people depart as our Lord had commanded, but he returned home for this time.  The Egyptians went and dolven pits for water all about by the river, and they found no water to drink but all was blood.  And this plague endured seven days, and whatsomever water the children of Israel took in this while was fair and good water.  This was the first plague and vengeance.  The second was that God sent frogs so many, that all the land was full, the rivers, the houses, chambers, beds, that they were woebegone, and these frogs entered into their meat, so many that they covered all the land of Egypt.  Then Pharaoh prayed Moses and Aaron that God would take away these frogs, and that he would go suffer the people to do sacrifice; and then Moses asked when he would deliver them if the frogs were voided, and Pharaoh said:  In the morn.  And then Moses prayed, and they voided all.  And when Pharaoh saw that he was quit of them, he kept not his promise and would not let them depart.  The third vengeance that God sent to them was a great multitude of hungry horse-flies, as many as the dust of the earth, which were on men, and bit them and beasts.  And then enchanters said then to Pharaoh:  This is the finger of God.  Yet would not Pharaoh let them depart.  The fourth vengeance was that God sent all manner kind of flies and lice in such wise that the universal land of Egypt was full of all manner flies and lice, but in the land of Goshen were none.  Yet was he so indurate that he would not let them go, but would that they should make their sacrifice to God in that land.  But Moses would not so, but would go three days’ journey in desert, and sacrifice to God there.  Pharaoh said:  I will that ye go into desert, but not far, and come soon again, and pray ye for me.  And Moses prayed for him to our Lord, and the flies voided that there was not one left.  And when they were gone Pharaoh would not keep his promise.  Then the fifth plague was that God showed his hand upon the fields and upon the horses, asses, camels, sheep and oxen, and was a great pestilence on all the beasts.  And God showed a wonder miracle between the possessions of the Egyptians and the possessions of his people of Israel, for of the beasts of the children of Israel there was not one that perished.  Yet was Pharaoh so hard-hearted that he would not suffer the people to depart.  The sixth plague was that Moses took ashes out of the chimney and cast on the land.  And anon all the people of Egypt, as well men as beasts, were full of blotches, boils, and blains and wounds, and swellings in such wise
