[The Pentateuch]

When money failed in the land of Egypt & of Canaan / all the Egyptians came unto Joseph and said: give us sustenance: wherefore sufferest thou us to dye before thee / for our money is spent. Then said Joseph: bring your cattle / and I will give you for your cattle / if ye be without money. And they brought their cattle unto Joseph. And he gave them bread for horses and sheep / and oxen and asses: so he fed them with bread for all their cattle that year.

When money fayled in the lāde of Egipte & of Canaan / all the Egiptians came vnto Joseph and sayde: geue us sustenaunce: wherfore suffrest thou vs to dye before the / for oure money is spent. Then sayde Joseph: brynge youre catell / and I will geue yow for youre catell / yf ye be without money. And they brought their catell vnto Joseph. And he gaue them bread for horses and shepe / and oxen and asses: so he fed them with bread for all their catell that yere.

When that year was ended / they came unto him the next year and said unto him: we will not hide it from my lord / how that we have nether money nor cattle for my lord: there is no more left for my lord / but even our bodies and our lands. Wherefore latest thou us dye before thine eyes / and the land to goo to nought? bye us and our lands for bread: and let both us and our lands be bond to Pharaoh. Eeve us seed▪ that we may live & not dye / & that the land god not to wast.

When that yere was ended / they came vnto him the nexte yere and sayde vnto him: we will not hyde it from my lorde / how that we haue nether money nor catell for my lorde: there is no moare left for my lorde / but euen oure bodies and oure londes. Wherfore latest thou us dye before thyne eyes / and the londe to goo to noughte? bye us and oure landes for bread: and let both vs and oure londes be bonde to Pharao. Eeue vs seed▪ that we may lyue & not dye / & that the londe god not to wast.
