Now when he had been a while with him, his […] perceiving his beauty,1 cast her love upon him, and so would have him to be naught with her: but Joseph being a man that seared god, would not follow her, but rather […] her beastly lusts, ran his ways, and left his cloak behind him. And so […] thorough false accusations, he was cast into prison. Thinks2 ye now that god saw him not? yes yes, he saw him, though he was in the dark prison, yet he saw him. For when it seemed him good, he brought him out again of the prison, and made him lord and ruler over all Egypt: though he lay in a dungeon, though he could make no suit for his […], yet god when it pleased him could call him thereunto. Therefore let us learn here, by the example of this good Joseph: let us learn I say, that when we be meet, and that God will have us to bear offices, he will call us thereunto by law full means, by his magistrates: he will not forget us: for he seeth us in every corner, he can pick us out when it is his will and pleasure.
