give_v it_o into_o pharaoh_n hand_n now_o i_o pray_v the_o dream_n which_o proceed_v from_o our_o bodily_a temper_n and_o constitution_n or_o from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o idea_n in_o our_o memory_n cause_v by_o natural_a heat_n or_o from_o the_o application_n of_o our_o mind_n to_o the_o care_n and_o business_n of_o life_n or_o from_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o passion_n be_v they_o either_o so_o emblematical_a on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o so_o regular_a on_o the_o other_o as_o to_o present_v in_o their_o very_a constitution_n symbol_n consist_v of_o so_o many_o part_n which_o answer_v one_o another_o with_o so_o great_a proportion_n to_o which_o if_o you_o add_v that_o this_o emblem_n as_o it_o be_v distinct_a and_o articulate_a so_o be_v it_o also_o lively_a clear_a deep_o impress_v upon_o the_o imagination_n you_o will_v not_o find_v it_o any_o way_n strange_a if_o it_o pass_v in_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o cupbearer_n for_o a_o divine_a and_o extraordinary_a dream_n but_o he_o have_v yet_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v of_o that_o opinion_n when_o his_o companion_n the_o baker_n tell_v he_o in_o the_o morning_n that_o he_o have_v also_o dream_v the_o same_o night_n that_o there_o be_v three_o white_a basket_n upon_o his_o head_n and_o that_o in_o the_o uppermost_a there_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o provision_n relate_v to_o the_o baker_n trade_n for_o pharaoh_n and_o that_o the_o bird_n do_v eat_v they_o out_o of_o the_o basket_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o his_o head_n for_o this_o circumstance_n that_o they_o both_o dream_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o see_v vision_n rare_a in_o their_o composition_n proportionable_a in_o their_o part_n symbolical_a without_o doubt_n in_o their_o signification_n suitable_a each_o to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o dreamer_n which_o agree_v both_o in_o the_o number_n three_o although_o they_o do_v otherwise_o differ_v in_o some_o remarkable_a circumstance_n last_o which_o have_v make_v very_o great_a impression_n upon_o they_o both_o all_o this_o i_o say_v can_v not_o be_v bring_v about_o but_o by_o a_o intelligent_a and_o heavenly_a cause_n so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o perplexity_n which_o these_o vision_n cause_v in_o their_o mind_n do_v equal_o appear_v in_o the_o morning_n by_o the_o change_n of_o their_o countenance_n the_o dream_n of_o pharaoh_n have_v yet_o something_o of_o more_o exactness_n in_o the_o just_a proportion_n and_o symmetry_n of_o their_o part_n seven_o young_a cow_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o seven_o more_o on_o the_o other_o the_o good_a and_o strong_a constitution_n of_o the_o one_o seven_o and_o the_o leanness_n of_o the_o other_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o fat_a one_o and_o the_o ghastly_a ugliness_n of_o the_o other_o the_o action_n of_o the_o one_o which_o devour_v and_o swallow_v up_o the_o other_o and_o all_o this_o without_o any_o mixture_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v fantastical_a or_o extravagant_a as_o it_o common_o happen_v in_o dream_n and_o without_o any_o circumstance_n from_o whence_o pharaoh_n may_v infer_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o which_o may_v in_o the_o least_o argue_v any_o tincture_n either_o of_o his_o care_n or_o passion_n either_o of_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o humour_n or_o the_o temperament_n of_o his_o body_n this_o be_v sufficient_a even_o at_o first_o to_o cause_v admiration_n and_o perplexity_n in_o his_o thought_n and_o indeed_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v he_o waken_v upon_o his_o dream_n this_o show_n that_o he_o be_v very_o sensible_o touch_v with_o it_o for_o those_o dream_n that_o make_v any_o great_a impression_n upon_o we_o do_v awaken_v we_o nevertheless_o pharaoh_n be_v not_o much_o fright_v at_o his_o first_o dream_n and_o go_v again_o to_o sleep_v as_o before_o but_o when_o another_o vision_n answerable_a to_o the_o first_o represent_v to_o he_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n seven_o fair_a and_o full_a ear_n of_o corn_n and_o on_o the_o other_o seven_o small_a one_o blast_v with_o the_o east_n wind_n and_o that_o the_o small_a and_o wither_a one_o devour_v the_o fair_a and_o full_a one_o then_o he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o

the_o neck_n of_o another_o be_v too_o clear_o and_o visible_o mysterious_a not_o to_o cause_v something_o of_o astonishment_n those_o of_o joseph_n appear_v to_o i_o yet_o more_o admirable_a he_o first_o see_v the_o sheaf_n of_o his_o brethren_n which_o do_v encompass_v his_o sheaf_n and_o prostrate_a themselves_o before_o it_o which_o have_v so_o clear_a and_o plain_a a_o signification_n that_o his_o brethren_n understand_v it_o at_o the_o very_a first_o a_o little_a after_o in_o another_o dream_n he_o see_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o eleven_o star_n which_o also_o fall_v down_o before_o he_o which_o still_o contain_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o such_o a_o illustrious_a and_o glorious_a emblem_n that_o when_o he_o come_v to_o recite_v it_o his_o father_n do_v not_o only_o understand_v it_o but_o be_v offend_v at_o it_o and_o chide_v he_o for_o it_o whether_o then_o we_o suppose_v that_o jacob_n and_o his_o other_o child_n do_v real_o believe_v that_o joseph_n have_v thus_o dream_v or_o that_o they_o suspect_v that_o he_o have_v contrive_v it_o yet_o it_o manifest_o appear_v that_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o that_o can_v not_o proceed_v but_o from_o the_o operation_n of_o a_o intelligent_a agent_n for_o mere_a chance_n can_v never_o have_v adjust_v the_o part_n of_o these_o vision_n single_o much_o less_o can_v it_o so_o well_o have_v join_v they_o both_o together_o this_o than_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o believe_v these_o dream_n be_v supernatural_a but_o yet_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o may_v persuade_v joseph_n that_o they_o be_v true_o divine_a his_o conscience_n bear_v he_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v void_a of_o ambition_n and_o if_o perhaps_o he_o have_v have_v some_o kind_n of_o inclination_n or_o tendency_n that_o way_n yet_o however_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v to_o desire_v dominion_n over_o his_o brethren_n much_o less_o will_v he_o have_v desire_v it_o over_o those_o who_o beget_v he_o for_o this_o be_v a_o monstrous_a desire_n and_o such_o as_o be_v altogether_o unnatural_a but_o grant_v he_o have_v such_o strange_a elevation_n of_o spirit_n as_o to_o desire_v to_o become_v so_o great_a as_o that_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n shall_v prostrate_v themselves_o before_o he_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o his_o imagination_n set_v itself_o to_o find_v out_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o eleven_o star_n precise_o whereby_o to_o presage_v this_o empire_n it_o be_v a_o very_a rare_a thing_n if_o in_o a_o mere_a natural_a dream_n any_o one_o imagine_v that_o he_o see_v the_o sun_n for_o there_o be_v always_o something_o that_o be_v black_a and_o dark_a in_o these_o nocturnal_a vision_n but_o though_o that_o shall_v happen_v much_o often_o yet_o to_o see_v it_o in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o humiliation_n and_o the_o moon_n and_o eleven_o star_n to_o represent_v that_o which_o this_o dream_n prefigure_v be_v a_o thing_n so_o far_o above_o that_o which_o natural_a cause_n be_v accustom_v to_o do_v that_o it_o will_v be_v too_o great_a a_o impertinence_n to_o impute_v it_o to_o they_o last_o the_o dream_n of_o nabuchodonosor_n be_v yet_o in_o my_o opinion_n somewhat_o more_o magnificent_a for_o there_o a_o great_a image_n be_v represent_v to_o the_o imagination_n of_o this_o prince_n the_o splendour_n whereof_o be_v excellent_a and_o its_o appearance_n terrible_a the_o
