againe 18 Meane while good Ioseph rowes against the tide Nature kind Nature would it selfe display But willing yet a while himselfe to hide He forc'd his Loue Discretion to obey 19 He cals for meat which was seru'd vp in state And at the table he doth sit alone The Hebrewes vvere in order seru'd vvhereat Within himselfe they marveiled each one 20 The Hebrewes and Egyptians severd set For by the Law of the Egyptian Nation They might not at one board together eat Because by them 't was held abomination 21 To count the seuerall dishes of this Feast In these deare times would make my Muse too sad Messes they had the Text saith who had least But Beniamin fiue times their portion had 22 They are full-fed now vvith delicious cates Whose hungry soules did whilome pine for food Such is the change of our vncertaine states After a dead low water comes a flood 23 The fickle vvorld is neuer at one stay Humane affaires roule in vncertaintie Vaine men vve ring the Changes euery day Brings forth to light some new varietie 24 Then let this ceaselesse restlesse agitation Inflame our soules all our affections moue To seeke for rest and a sure habitation In Heau'n the new Ierusalem aboue 25 The Dinner ended Ioseph doth provide To haue each Hebrewes sacke fild full with graine And each mans Coyne in his sackes mouth was tide Thus they haue food for nought yet once againe 26 Into the Sack of his deare Beniamin Hee caus'd his siluer Cup to bee conueyd And by this meanes hee doth occasion winne To haue the youth from his departure stayd 27 As soone as morne displayd her blushing red And c●eare light shew'd to Trauellers their way Each Hebrew with his chardg from Ioseph sped Little suspecting of a new delay 28 They had not from the Citie traueld farre But Iosephs Steward them in hast pursues Hee ouer-takes them they arrested are And speechlesse stand amaz'd at this sad newes 29 Hee question'd them why ill for good they payd His Lords diuining Siluer Cup was gone They strangers were and false perhaps hee sayd For but themselues himselfe suspected none 30 This sayd at length they thus to him replyde Why should our Lord to vs these speeches say In our sackes mouthes when wee the siluer spyde Brought backe from Canaan wee did it repay 31 ● is vnlikely therefore wee should steale And vse such falshood where such loue wee found Yet search vs all and hee that thus shall deale Let him to death the rest to Prison bound 32 ●ee't so the Steward sayes with that each one Takes from his Loden beast his sacke of corne From eldest Reuben now the search is gone And by degrees come to the youngest borne 33 The siluer Cup is found in the youths sacke The brethren rend their cloathes to find it so Now once againe each man assumes his packe And with sad lookes backe to the Citie goe 34 And hee that whilom seru'd these men in state With dainty dishes at a Princelike board Safe-guards them now as fellowes of stolne-plate So great a change so small time doth afford 35 To Iosephs house they now againe are brought Where hee did stay expecting their surprize For hee was witting of what would bee wrought And theeues now made them that supposd them spyes 36 When they be held his face with shame deiected To bended knees they doe themselues be●a●e A as quot● he what 's this ye haue effected Did you not know that I could tryall make 37 Then Iudah thus What shall we plead or say Vnto my Lord our selues vve cannot free T is Israels God that doth ou● sinnes repay And for our the●t we must thy bond-men be 38 Nay God forbid that I should vse you so Ioseph to those afflicted men replyed Who stole my Cup himselfe to me doth owe He is my seruant no man else beside 39 The rest depart in peace vnto your Sire Then Iudah on his knees sayes O my Lord Whom as a second Pharaoh we admire Vouchsafe to heare thy servant speake a word 40 When first before my Lord we did appeare It pleas'd him aske if we had Syre or Brother We truely told we had a father deere All we his sonnes and that he had one other 41 A little one begot in his old age Therefore the more belou'd the more respected His brother dead and he the onely gage Left by that Mother whom our Syre affected 42 Then you enioyn'd vs neuer see your face Or bring the youth you might his face behold When to our father we first told our case The sad relation made his old heart cold 43 One of my sonnes quoth he sent to the field Was torne in pieces neuer more seene since Should I depart with this and he should yeeld To death by sicknesse or by violence 44 'T would breake my aged heart my old gray head With griefe and sorrow throw into the graue O my good Lord detaine me in his stead I am his Pledge and to my father gaue 45 My faith for his returne with execration Let Iudah beare the blame for euermore Vnlesse I bring to Israels habitation Young Beniamin euen thus thy servant swore 46 Then since the old mans being doth depend On the Youths life let me thy servant be And with my Brethren backe the stripling send And Iudah will be bound to pray for thee 47 When Ioseph heard his Brothers sad relation He could no longer his affection hide Though great ones present of th' Egyptian Nation Yet Ioseph wept the text saith loud he cryed 48 Avoyd the Roome quoth he let no man stay Except these Hebrewes all the rest depart Then Ioseph to his brethren doth display The inward feelings of his tender heart 49 See Ioseph liues our father make report But they were stricken dumbe with that surprize Be not dismay'd God sent me to the Court For to relieue your wants by my supplyes 50 And this was done to worke your preservations Our fathers God made me his instrument Two yeeres hath famine seiz'd vpon most nations And fiue such yeere of want must yet be sent 51 Therefore returne vnto our aged Syre And from my selfe sa●ute him in this sort Egypts Protector Ioseph doth desire To see old Isr'el at King Pharaohs Court 52 Himselfe his Childrens Children heards and sheep In fruitfull Goshen land shall haue a Rome Neere to my selfe I them and theirs will keepe From fiue yeeres Famine that is yet to come 53 Remember what I giue in charge ye tell And Iosephs Honours seene by you relate With that on Beniamins faire necke he fell And wept so fast his teares their teares begat 54 This was a wondrous and strange salutation And vnto Egypts King was quickely brought Who was affected so with the relation That till he Ioseph saw full long he thought 55 And seene he sayes vnto thy Brethren say Doe this depart load beasts to Canaan goe And bring your father hither that he may Here with his

houshould liue aud let him know 56 'T is Pharaohs will the best of Egypts land Ye shall possesse and ye shall eat the fat Eu'n Egypts fat This more I doe command You giue them Chariots to conveigh them that 57 Their father children wiues may come at ease They shall bee welcome vnto Egypts King Care not for stuffe nor vtensils for these Pharoah shall giue them and what other thing 58 Egypt is master of my land is yours The best of all my land t is Pharoahs gift Wee well may call that ours which God assures Ti 's hee from ashes vnto Thrones can lift 59 I am so ouerioy'd I cannot write What were the Ioyes the brethren did conceiue But sure I am each heart must needs bee light For Royall Gifts ioyfull impressions leaue 60 They came to Egypt Merchant-like at best But home are caried like great Lords in state Their iourney was for bread now they may feast Both Horse and Seruants many on them vvaite 61 These once vnkind their Brother stript but he Doth giue them change of raim●nts of the best To his lov'd Benjamin he was more free And fiue times more did giue him then the rest 62 For Israels journey Ioseph doth provide And by the way what dainties he should eate And ten shee-Asses sent to him beside All heavy loaden with the purest wheat 63 And thus set foorth Ioseph each one salutes And wills them in their travaile to agree Vnfayned concord best with Brethren sutes Small j●rres 'mongst you so link'd great discords be 64 Who best instructs doth best example giue This good doe I is better then this Doe Most by the Eye few by the Eare doe liue Faire actions doe compell good words but wooe 65 He that had shew'd himselfe so kind a Brother Beyond their hope beyond all expectation Had by his paterne taught them loue each other They goe and bring Iacob this gratulation 66 Ioseph is yet aliue and which is more 'T is he that rules all Egypt Israel heard And his Heart fail'd he was so moov'd therefore But when he saw the gifts that were conferr'd 67 And did behold the Chariots Ioseph sent His Heart reviu'd whom would not such a sight Recall from Death and then incontinent Like one new moulded full of actiue spright 68 Ioseph saith he doth liue my child is found And like a Man distract with joy doth cry I haue enough may now my joyes abound I will goe downe and see him ere I die 69 T is time these happy travellers opprest With their long voyage make a little stay

impart To end the sacred taske she works vpon IACOBS PROGRESSE 1 MEe thinkes I see in what religious wise Old Iacob vnto Beersheba went I heare him pray I see him sacrifice And on his knee his heart to God present 2 From Israels God I heare him craue protection In this his long and last peregrination For though to Ioseph Egypt bore affection She had strange Gods was full of fornication 3 Ibis and Apis Crocodiles and Leekes Such beastly stinking Gods shee did adore Against these and the like old Israel seekes And from the true God doth true grace implore 4 And marke the issue of his good intention God Izaacs God doth meet him the mid-way And of his mercies infinite propension That night in vision thus to him did say 5 Iacob goe downe to Egypt doe not feare I am thy God along with thee will goe And I will make thee a great nation there Who could dispaire that was encourag'd doe 6 And I will surely bring thee vp againe Ioseph shall put his hand vpon thine eyes Me thinkes I see new blood in each old Vayne Me thinkes I see him cheerefully arise 7 How like a Gyant to his course he runnes His Heart with joy with heavenly joy enspir'd And how he ranckt and marshalled his sonnes And from his natiue soyle how he retyr'd 8 Canaan adue thy father 〈◊〉 The top the hope the glory of thy Nation Takes his last leaue for ever birds farewell Goshen hencefoorth must be his habitation 9 M● thinkes I see him like an aged tree Digg●d vp by th' Rootes and in a new soyle planted That growes no more at least no more to thee Leaues now for fruit beares those but thin skanted 10 Mee thinkes I see him now in triumph ride I heere his Chariot-wheeles his Horses neigh I see his Sonnes and Daughters by his side And how they march in order on the way 11 His Sonnes his Childrens children Sheepe and Oxe Their goods all that carriage worth they thought Horse Catt●ll Asse and in one word their stockes They driue from Canaan and to Egypt brought 12 I could but that your memories t would cumber Tell you the names of all their families All his sonnes names threescore and sixe in number Which Scripture saith descended from his thighes 13 Besides his Sonnes wiues thus old Israel takes His progresse into Egypt like a Prince Iudah his sonne his Harbinger he makes Who went before to giue intelligence 14 Of Iacobs comming which when Ioseph knew His father was at hand and did draw neere He mounts his Chariots and with all his crew Rides foorth to meet him moov'd by loue and feare 15 You sonnes of Belial that advanc't to state Forget your Parents nay your Parents scorne See how well duty in a Magistrate Shewes to a Syre though but a Sheepheard borne 16 My Lord Protector from his Chariot lights And craues his fathers blessing on his knee Before great Lords his Peeres in all their

too the teares hee shed Were teares of kindnesse and of inward ioy And when for weeping hee could speake he sed Now let mee dye since I thy sight enioy 20 Doe but imagine hee that was so tender When to his brethren first made himselfe knowne How hee his kindnesse to his Sire doth render And to his fathers house what loue was showen 21 Egypts great-Patron was not now to learne His complements and courtly entertainements But by his deeds his kindred might discerne His welcomes were not shewes nor verball feynments 22 They found a reall hearty bien venu Egypts best soyle elected for their seat No sooner come but had to Pharoahs view Who like a royall King doth them entreat 23 Ioseph himselfe in person made their way And doth to Pharoah reu're●t Israel bring Hee tels his brethren too what they should say And how behaue themselues before the King 24 Fiue of his brethren with the good old man Were to the Court and to the presence brought Long stayd not there but the Egyptian Pharoah appeares Old Iacob kneeles besought 25 The God of Israel the true God to blesse The life of royall Pharoah keepe his Crowne And giue him his desires and good successe And fill his Cup with honour and renowne 26 The King beheld old Iacob with delight His graue aspect his age hee doth admire And being greatly pleased with his sight His studies and his age hee doth enquire 27 Iacob replyes the number

skill our onely education Haue beene to keepe our flockes our sheepheards hooks Those are thy seruants wayes recreation 29 Thus Ioseph had before hand them aduis'd Happy t' auoyd th' Egyptians emulation For they were schollers haply 't was deuis'd They might together her follow their vocation 30 And so not mingling with the vnknowne nation Not suck their eu●ls Ioseph knew the trade Of keeping sheepe was an abomination To Egypt Iosephs brethren Pharoah made 31 Rulers of all his Cattle all his Flockes They are in office now who late like spyes Were in disgrace thus fortune playes and
