And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph and said unto him. In my dream me thought there stood a vine before men / and in the vine were .lij. branches / and it was as though it budded / & her blossoms shot forth: & y• grapes there of waxed ripe. And I had Pharaoh's cup in my hand / and toke of the grapes and wrong them in to Pharaoh's cup / & delivered Pharaoh's cup into his hand.
And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph and sayde vnto him. In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before mē / and in the vyne were .lij. braunches / and it was as though it budded / & her blossōs shottforth: & y• grapes there of waxed rype. And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande / and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe / & delyvered Pharaos cuppe into his hande.
And Joseph said unto him / this is the interpe•tation of it. The .iij. branches are thr• days: for within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head / and restore the unto▪ thine office again / and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup in to his hand / after the old manner / even as thou diddest when thou wast his butler. But think on me with thee / when thou art in good case / and show mercy unto me. And make mention of me to Pharaoh / and help to bring me out of this house: for I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews / & here also have I do ne nothing at all wherefore they should have put me in to this dungeon.
And Ioseph sayde vnto him / this is the interpe•tation of it. The .iij. braunches ar thr• dayes: for within thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine heade / and restore the vnto▪ thyne office agayne / and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to his hāde / after the old maner / even as thou dydest when thou wast his butlar. But thinke on me with the / when thou art in good case / and shewe mercie vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao / and helpe to brynge me out of this house: for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues / & here also haue I do ne nothīge at all wherfore they shulde haue put me in to this dongeon.
