1ANd as they went on their iourney, they came at night to the flood Tygris, and there abode. 2And when the yong man went to wash him self, a fish leaped out of the riuer, and wolde haue deuoured him. 3Then the Angel said vnto him, Take the fish. And the yong man toke the fish, and drewe it to land. 4To whome the Angel said, Cut the fish, and take the heart, and the liuer, and the gall, and put them vp surely. 5So the yong man did as the Angel commanded him: & when they had rosted the fish, they ate it: then they bothe went on their way, til they came to Ecbatane. 6¶ Then the yong man said to the Angel, Brother Azarias, what auaileth the heart, and the liuer, and the gall of the fish? 7And he said vnto him, Touching the heart and the liuer, if a deuil or an euil spirit trouble any, we must make a perfume of this before the man or the woman, and he shalbe no more vexed. 8As for the gall, anoint a man that hathe whitenes in his eyes, and he shalbe healed. 9¶ And when they were come nere to Rages, 10The Angel said to the yong man, Brother, to day we shal lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin: he also hathe one onelie daughter named Sarra: I wil speake for her that she may be giuen thee for a wife. 11For to thee doeth the right of her perteine, seing thou alone art remnant of his kinred, 12And the maid is faire and wise: now therefore heare me, and I wil speake to her father, that we may make the mariage when we are returned from Rages: for I knowe that Raguel can not marie her to another according to the Law of Moyses: els he shulde deserue death, because the right doeth rather apperteine to thee then to anie other man. 13Then the yong man answered the Angel, I haue heard, brother Azarias, that this maid hathe bene giuen to seuen men, who all dyed in the mariage chamber: 14And I am the onely begotten sonne of my father, and I am afraied, lest I go into her, and dye as the other: for a wicked spirit loueth her, which hurteth no bodie, but those which come into her: wherefore I also feare lest I dye, and bring my fathers and my mothers life because of me to the graue with sorrowe: for thei haue no other sonne to burye them. 15Then the Angel said vnto him, Doest thou not remember the precepts which thy father gaue thee, that thou shuldest marie a wife of thine owne kinred? wherefore heare me, ô my brother: for she shalbe thy wife, nether be thou careful of the euil spirit: for this same night shal she be giuen thee in mariage. 16And when thou shalt go into thy bed, thou shalt take of the hote coles for perfumes, and make a perfume of the heart, and of the liuer of the fish, 17Which if the spirit do smell, he wil flee away, and neuer come againe anie more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise vp bothe of you, and praye to God which is merciful, who wil haue pitie on you, and saue you: feare not, for she is appointed vnto thee from the beginning, & thou shalt kepe her, & she shal go with thee: moreouer I suppose that she shal beare thee children: now when Tobias had heard these things, he loued her, and his heart was effectually ioyned to her.
