Ioseph's Speech to his Brethren.
Go fetch your Brother (saith th' Aegyptian Lord)
If you intend our Garners shall afford
Your craving wants their so desir'd supplies;
If He come not, by Pharaoh's life y'are Spies:
Ev'n as your suits expect to find our Grace.
Bring Him, or dare not to behold my face:
Some little food to serve you on the way,
We here allow, but not to feed delay;
When you present your Brother to our hand,
Y•• shall have plenty and possess the Land,
Away, and let your quick obedience give
The earnest of your Faiths, do this and live:
If not, your willfull wants must want supply,
For ye are Spies, and ye shall surely die:
Great God, the Aegyptian Lord resembles Thee
The Brother's Jesus, and the Suiters Wee.
