1 Middle English Literature, ed. Charles W. Dunn and Edward T. Byrnes (New York: Harcourt, 1973), p. 507, 11. 18–27.

2 See, e.g., John Wyclif, Prolog for Allé the Bokis of the Olde Testament, Ch. xii; Dunn and Byrnes, pp. 485–86.

3 As a carpenter. John probably constructed the “knedyng trough,” “tubbe,” and “kymelyn” which he hangs “in the ”balkes“ (A 3620–26) even though he could not have anticipated their present use. We are told that he builds three ladders by which the tubs are to be reached (A 3624–26); cf. Gen. vi.14. For Noah's skill as a carpenter, see. e.g., Poly-chronieon Ranulphi Higden, Monachi Cestrensis, Together with the English Translations of John Trevisa and of an Unknown Writer of the Fifteenth Century, ed. C. Babington and J. R. Lumbry, Rolls Series 41, ii (London: Longman, Green, 1865–86), Ch. v.
