My reading of the entirety of Genesis 1 from the Tyndale Bible in a reconstruction of cultivated southern English pronunciation from the early 16th century.

The reflex of Middle English /a/ before dark /l/ is still a diphthong, and the pronunciation for the most part of word-final NG as [ŋg]. And of course the realization of <gh> in words like "light" and "night.

Some things this video were clearly more a feature of formal reading than ordinary speech.
