Phi. I will do it gladly. As I may let pass the ancient Patriarchs. What a cross laid God upon Josephs shoulders in Egypt? yea and that for no fault that he had committed but only to prove and try his faith, love, obedience, patience, thankfulness & perseverance. He suffered Joseph being a godly and chaste young man to be falsely accused of his whorish mistress,1 and to be cruelly thrown of his master into prison, where he continued ⟨p. 31⟩certain years in captivity and thraldom. But behold the merciful dealing of God with his faithful servants. Afterward, wham God by proving him, had found him faithful, constant & patient: he delivered Joseph out of prison, restored him unto his liberty, won him into the kings favour, in so much that the king toke of his ring from his hand, & put it upon Joseph's hand, & arrayed him in cloth of rains, & put a golden chain about his neck, and set him upon the best chariot that he had save one. And they cried before him: bow the knee. And king Pharaoh made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
