[The Pentateuch]

Joseph said unto them / that is it that I said unto you / that ye are surely spies. Here by the shall be proved. For by the life of Pharaoh / ye shall not goo hence / until your youngest brother be come hither. Send therefore one off you and let him set your ⟨image 72⟩brother / and ye shall be in prison in the mean season. And thereby shall your words be proved / whether there be any trueth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh / ye are but spies. And he put them in ward three days.

Joseph sayde vnto them / that is it that I sayde vnto you / that ye are surelye spies. Here by ye shall be proued. For by the lyfe of Pharao / ye shall not goo hence / vntyll youre yongest brother be come hither. Sende therfore one off you and lett him sett youre ⟨image 72⟩brother / and ye shalbe in preason in the meane season. And thereby shall youre wordes be proued / whether there be any trueth in you: or els by the lyfe of Pharao / ye are but spies. And he put them in warde thre dayes.

And Joseph said unto them the third day: This do and live / for I fear God If ye mean no hurt / let one of your brethren be bound in the prison / and goo ye and bring the necessary food unto your households / and bring your youngest brother unto me: that your words may be believed / and that ye dye not And they did so.

And Joseph sayde vnto thē the thryd daye: This doo and lyue / for I feare Gode Yf ye meane no hurte / let one of youre brethern be bounde in the preason / and goo ye and brynge the necessarie foode vnto youre housholdes / and brynge youre yongest brother vnto me: that youre wordes maye be beleved / ād that ye dye not And they did so.
