Matthew(i)
17 Pharao sayd vnto Ioseph: in my dreame me thought I stode by a ryuers syde,
18 and there cam out of the ryuer .vij. fat fleshed and well fauored kyne, and fedde in the meddow.
19 And then .vij. other kyne came vp after them, poore & very euell fauored & leane fleshed: so that I neuer sawe their lyke in all the lande of Egypte in euell fauordnesse.
20 And the .vij. leane and euel fauored kyne eate vp the fyrste .vij. fat kyne.
21 And when they had eaten them vp a man coulde not perceyue that they had eaten them: for they were styll as euyll fauored as they were at the begynnyng. And I awoke.
22 And I sawe agayn in my dreame .vij. eares spring out of one stalke ful and good,
23 and .vij. other eares wytherd, thynne an blasted wt wynde, sprynge vp after them.
24 And the thynne eares deuowred the .vij. good eares. And I haue tolde it vnto the sothsayers, but no man can tell me what it meaneth.
25 Then Ioseph sayde vnto Pharao: both Pharaos dreames are one. And God doth shewe Pharao what he is aboute to do.
26 The seuen good kyne are .vij. yeres: & the seuen good eares: are seuen yeres also, and it is but one dreame.
27 Likewyse the seuen thynne and euel fauored kyne that came out after them, are seuen yeres: and the .vij. emptye and blasted eares shalbe .vij. yeres of hunger.
