- 12. Josephs good carriage in prison. Gen. 39.31. 1. He was diligent and faithful.2. Iosephs good carriage in prison. Gen. 39.31. 1. He was diligent and faithfull.
First, he fell to his old trade of diligence and faithfulness, carrying himself in so virtuous a manner, that the Jailer did affect him, and liked him more and more, till at last he entrusted him with all the charge of the prison. This was a great trust, for you know what extreme danger a Jailer, chiefly of such prisoners, doth put himself in, if his prisoners escape: there again therefore let all inferiors be persuaded to seek to win their Superiors, by good and virtuous carriage, especially meekness, submissiveness, painfulness and trustiness. This will work a man into favour, even with an hard master, but I spake of that matter a little before, I will show you his carriage to the prisoners, to whom he was an Attendant, it is commendable in these three respects.

This was a great trust, for you know what extreame danger a Jaylor, chiefely of such prisoners, doth put himselfe in, if his prisoners escape: there againe therefore let all inferiours be perswaded to seeke to winne their Superiours, by good and vertuous carriage, especially meekenesse, submissivenesse, painefulnesse and trustinesse. This will worke a man into favour, even with an hard master, but I spake of that matter a little before, I will shew you his carriage to the prisoners, to whom he was an Attendant, it is commendable in these three respects.
