| 11:24 | By faith Moses whan he was greate, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter: |
| 11:25 | and chose rather to suffre aduersite with the people of God, then to enioye ye pleasures of synne for a season: |
| 11:26 | and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, then the treasure of Egipte: for he had respecte vnto the rewarde. |
