[The Pentateuch]

Pharaoh said unto Joseph: in my dream me thought I stood by a rivers side / and there came out of the river vij fat fleshed and well favoured kine / and fed in the meadow. And then .vij. other kine came up after them / poor and very evil favoured and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like in all the land of Egypt in evil favouredness. And the .vij. lean and evil favoured kine ate up the first .vij. fat kine And when they had eaten them up / a man could not perceive that they had eaten them: for they were still as evil favoured as they were at the beginning. And I awoke.

Pharao sayde vnto Joseph: in my dreame me thought I stode by a ryvers syde / and there came out of the ryver vij fatt fleshed ād well fauored kyne / and fedd in the medowe. And then .vij. other kyne came vp after them / poore and very euell fauored ād leane fleshed: so that I neuer sawe their lyke in all the lande of Egipte in euell fauordnesse. And the .vij. leane and euell fauored kyne ate vpp the first .vij. fatt kyne And when they had eaten them vp / a man cowde not perceaue that they had eatē them: for they were still as evyll fauored as they were at the begynnynge. And I awoke.

And I saw again in my dream .vij. ears spring out of one stalk full and good / and .vij. other ears withered / thin and blasted with wind / spring up after them. And the thin ears devoured the .vij. good ears. And I have told it unto the soothsayers ⟨p. lx⟩/ but no man can tell me what it meaneth.

And I sawe agayne in my dreame .vij. eares sprynge out of one stalk full and good / and .vij. other eares wytherd / thinne and blasted with wynde / sprynge vp after them. And the thynne eares deuowred the .vij. good eares. And I haue tolde it vnto the sothsayers ⟨p. lx⟩/ but no man can tell me what it meaneth.
