And it fortuned aboute the same season/ that Ioseph entred in to the house/ to do his busynes: and there was none of the houshold by/ in the house. And she caught him by the garment saynge: come slepe with me. And he left his garment in hir hande ãd fled and gott him out When she sawe that he had left his garmẽt in hir hande/ and was fled out/ she called vnto the men of the house/ and tolde them saynge: Se/ he hath brought in an Hebrewe vnto vs to do vs shame. for he came in to me/ for to haue slept wyth me. But I cried with a lowde voyce. And when he harde/ that I lyfte vp my voyce and cryed/ he left his garment with me and fled awaye and got him out.
And she layed vp his garment by her/ vntill hir lorde came home. And she told him acordynge to these wordes saynge. This Hebrues servaunte which thou hast brought vnto vs came in to me to do me shame. But as soone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed/ he left his garment with me and fled out. When his master herde the woordes of his wyfe which she tolde him saynge: after this maner dyd thy servaunte to me/ he waxed wrooth.
And he toke Ioseph and put him in pryson: euen in the place where the kynges prisoners laye bounde. And there contynued he in preson. But the LORde was with Ioseph ãd shewed him mercie/ and gott him fauoure in the syghte of the keper of ye preson which commytted to Iosephs hãde all the presoners that were in the preson housse. And what soeuer was done there/ yt dyd he. And the keper of the presõ loked vnto nothinge that was vnder his hande/ because the LORde was with him/ & because that whatsoeuer he dyd/ the LORde made it come luckely to passe.
The xl. Capter.
ANd it chaunced after this/ that the chefe butlar of the kynge of Egipte and his chefe baker had offended there lorde the kynge of Egypte. And Pharao was angrie with them and put thẽ in warde in his chefe marshals house: euen in ye preson where Ioseph was bownd. And the chefe marshall gaue Ioseph a charge with them/ & he serued them. And they contynued a season in warde.
And they dreamed ether of them in one nyghte: both the butlar and the baker of the kynge of Egipte which were bownde in the preson house/ ether of them his dreame/ and eche mãnes dreame of a sondrie interpretation When Ioseph came in vnto them in the mornynge/ and loked apon them: beholde/ they were sadd. And he asked them saynge/ wherfore loke ye so sadly to daye? They answered him/ we haue dreamed a dreame/ and haue no man to declare it. And Ioseph sayde vnto thẽ. Interpretynge belongeth to God but tel me yet.
And the chefe butlar tolde his dreame to Ioseph and sayde vnto him. In my dreame me thought there stode a vyne before me/ and in the vyne were .iij. braunches/ and it was as though it budded/ & her blossõs shottforth: & ye grapes thereof waxed rype. And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande/ and toke of the grapes and wronge them in to Pharaos cuppe/ & delyvered Pharaos cuppe in to his hande.
And Ioseph sayde vnto him/ this is the interpretation of it. The .iij. braunches ar thre dayes: for within thre dayes shall Pharao lyft vp thine heade/ and restore the vnto thyne office agayne/ and thou shalt delyuer Pharaos cuppe in to his hãde/ after the old maner/ even as thou dydest when thou wast his butlar. But thinke on me with the/ when thou art in good ease/ and shewe mercie vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao/ and helpe to brynge me out of this house: for I was stollen out of the lande of the Hebrues/ & here also haue I done nothĩge at all wherfore they shulde haue put me in to this dongeon.
When the chefe baker sawe that he had well interpretate it/ he sayde vnto Ioseph/ me thought also in my dreame/ yt I had .iij. wyker baskettes on my heade: And in ye vppermost basket/ of all maner bakemeates for Pharao. And the byrdes ate them out of the basket apon my heade
