Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Nowe therefore be not greeued herewith, neither let it seeme a cruel thing in your eyes, that ye solde me hyther: for God did sende me before you to preserue lyfe ⁶ For this is the seconde yere of dearth in the lande, and fiue more are behinde, in the whiche there shall neyther be earyng nor haruest ⁷ Wherfore God sent me before you, to preserue you a posteritie in the earth, and to saue your liues by a great deliueraunce ⁸ So nowe, it was not ye that sent me hyther, but God whiche hath made me a father to Pharao, and lorde of all his house, and ruler throughout all the lande of Egypt
