Paine quotes & Wycliffe: Exodus 32.1

The puple forsothe, seynge that Moyses made abidyng of comyng doun fro the hil, gederid to gidere aȝens Aaron, seith, Arise, mak to vs goddis, that goon beforn vs; to this man Moyses, that hath ladde vs out fro the loond of Egipte, we knowen not what is fallyn. ■Wycliffe Bible vol. 1, page 269

The people in their sincerity, seeing that Moses was postponing his return from the mountain, gathered in front of Aaron and said, Rise, do God’s prayers for us as they have been done; to this man who has led us out of Egyptian lands, we do not know what is befallen.

Quoted in Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason, ■Conway vol. 4 page 121.
