[Sidenote: * The bl[~i]de gydes gott previleges frõ bear[~i]ge with their brethr[~e] contrarye to Christes lawe of love. And of these prestes of idolles did oure cõpass[~i]ge yvetrees lerne to crepe vp by litle & litle & to cõpasse y^e greate trees of y^e world with hypocrisye/ ãd to thrust y^e rodes of idolatrysse superstition in to th[~e] & to sucke out y^e iuce of th[~e] with their poetrye/ till all be seer bowes and no thinge grene save their awne com[~e]welth.]
And Ioseph boughte all the lande of Egipte for Pharao. For the Egiptians solde euery man his londe because the derth was sore apõ them: and so the londe became Pharaos. And he appoynted the people vnto the cities/ from one syde of Egipte vnto the other: only the londe of the Prestes bought he not. For there was an ordina[~u]ce made by Pharao for y^e * preastes/ that they shulde eate that which was appoynted vnto them: which Pharao had geuen them wherfore they solde not their londes.
Then Ioseph sayde vnto the folke: beholde I haue boughte you this daye ãd youre landes for Pharao. Take there seed and goo sowe the londe. And of the encrease/ ye shall geue the fyfte parte vnto Pharao/ and .iiij. partes shalbe youre awne/ for seed to sowe the feld: and for you/ and them of youre housholdes/ and for youre childern/ to eate. And they answered: Thou haste saued oure lyves Let vs fynde grace in the syghte of my lorde/ and let us be Pharaos serva[~u]tes. And Ioseph made it a lawe ouer the lãde of Egipte vnto this daye: that men must geue Pharao the fyfte parte/ excepte the londe of preastes only/ which was not bond vnto Pharao.
And Israel dwelt in Egipte: euen in the countre of Gosan. And they had their possessions therein/ and they grewe and multiplyed exceadingly. Moreouer Iacob lyued in the lande of Egipte .xvij. yeres/ so that the the hole age of Iacob was an hundred and .xlvij. yere.
When the tyme drewe nye/ that Israel must dye: he sent for his sonne Ioseph and sayde vnto him: Yf I haue founde grace in thy syghte/ put thy hande vnder my thye and deale mercifully ãd truely with me/ that thou burie me not in Egipte: but let me lye by my fathers/ and carie me out of Egipte/ and burie me in their buryall. And he answered: I will do as thou hast sayde. And he sayde: swere vnto me: ãd he sware vnto him. And than Israel bowed him vnto the beddes head.
