the_o land_n of_o goshen_n and_o nourish_v they_o from_o the_o king_n store_n this_o example_n shall_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v wise_a in_o time_n see_v all_o this_o be_v do_v by_o the_o advice_n of_o one_o foreigner_n in_o privy_a council_n and_o what_o may_v that_o country_n expect_v where_o the_o head_n and_o many_o of_o the_o council_n be_v foreigner_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o our_o

thus_o with_o scripture_n than_o false_a in_o misapply_v it_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v no_o charity_n to_o joseph_n which_o make_v pharaoh_n and_o the_o egyptian_n advance_v he_o but_o charity_n to_o themselves_o because_o they_o can_v not_o find_v a_o man_n so_o fit_a as_o himself_o gen._n 41.38_o in_o who_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v to_o find_v out_o mean_v to_o prevent_v

find_v that_o pharaoh_n be_v as_o absolute_a before_o joseph_n be_v of_o his_o council_n as_o after_o for_o gen._n 41.40_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o according_a to_o his_o word_n shall_v all_o his_o

as_o appear_v from_o ver_fw-la 34._o nay_o so_o far_o be_v joseph_n from_o enslave_v they_o that_o though_o he_o have_v actual_o buy_v themselves_o and_o all_o that_o they_o have_v for_o pharaoh_n that_o he_o not_o only_o save_v their_o life_n as_o they_o themselves_o do_v acknowledge_v and_o keep_v bread_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n when_o there_o be_v none_o elsewhere_o but_o leave_v

be_v more_o than_o our_o author_n can_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o custom_n before_o see_v he_o direct_v pharaoh_n to_o lay_v up_o the_o five_o part_n chap._n 41.34_o and_o that_o we_o hear_v of_o no_o opposition_n make_v thereunto_o nor_o unto_o any_o thing_n else_o that_o joseph_n do_v in_o the_o government_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o people_n do_v thankful_o acknowledge_v he_o as_o the_o author_n of_o their_o preservation_n and_o willing_o obey_v he_o even_o when_o he_o transplant_v they_o from_o one_o city_n to_o another_o which_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o will_v never_o have_v consent_v to_o have_v they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o bring_n of_o they_o into_o slavery_n for_o our_o author_n may_v remember_v that_o though_o a_o great_a many_o of_o his_o party_n surrender_v their_o charter_n in_o the_o late_a reign_n and_o become_v voluntary_a slave_n yet_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n can_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o it_o and_o as_o for_o joseph_n plant_n

likely_a to_o be_v least_o offensive_a to_o the_o egyptian_n as_o appear_v from_o chap._n 46._o ver_fw-la 34._o because_o every_o shepherd_n and_o such_o be_v the_o israelite_n be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o egyptian_n and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o all_o this_o be_v do_v by_o the_o special_a direction_n of_o that_o god_n who_o send_v he_o into_o

for_o have_v ascribe_v all_o the_o mischief_n which_o come_v upon_o the_o egyptian_n to_o their_o entertain_v of_o one_o foreigner_n as_o a_o privy_a counsellor_n what_o say_v he_o may_v that_o

to_o the_o confusion_n of_o our_o author_n and_o his_o faction_n make_v use_v of_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o their_o egyptian_a thraldom_n but_o our_o author_n that_o he_o may_v discover_v all_o his_o design_n at_o once_o do_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o his_o speech_n endeavour_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o country_n against_o the_o parliament_n and_o now_o he_o attempt_v the_o like_a

be_v son_n to_o a_o english_a princess_n husband_n to_o a_o english_a queen_n govern_v by_o english_a law_n and_o fight_v with_o english_a army_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o english_a

if_o those_o other_o practice_n of_o joseph_n be_n culpable_a in_o buy_v the_o land_n cattle_n and_o person_n of_o the_o egyptian_n for_o pharaoh_n use_n we_o know_v of_o a_o copy_n which_o outdo_v

of_o the_o naturalize_v dutch._n they_o who_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o live_v in_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n at_o home_n which_o they_o purchase_v with_o the_o best_a of_o their_o treasure_n and_o

the_o dutch_a than_o the_o french_a yet_o all_o along_o our_o author_n be_v severe_a upon_o the_o former_a than_o the_o latter_a and_o make_v a_o terrible_a outcry_n against_o the_o send_n of_o corn_n to_o holland_n but_o speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o great_a store_n which_o his_o brethren_n the_o i_o it_o be_v transport_n by_o stealth_n into_o france_n but_o now_o for_o our_o author_n

to_o be_v tell_v that_o their_o religion_n be_v to_o be_v prove_v from_o the_o bible_n whence_o our_o author_n can_v never_o prove_v his_o own_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v imagine_v though_o
