The third part.

 [verse 17]  Even Joseph which had once been sold
to live a slave in wo:
Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul
the irons pierc'd also.
 [verse 18]  Until the time came when his cause
was known apparently,
The mighty word of God the Lord
his faultless truth did try.

 [verse 19]  The king sent and delivered him
from prison where he was:
 [verse 20]  The ruler of the people then
did freely let him pass.
 [verse 21]  And over all his house he made
him lord to bear the sway:
And of his substance made him have
the rule and all the stay.

 [verse 22]  That he might to his will instruct
the princes of the land:
And wisdoms lore his ancient men
might cause to understand.
 [verse 23]  Then into the Egyptian land
came Israel also:
And Jacob in the land of Ham
did live a stranger tho.

 [verse 24]  His people he exceedingly
in number made to flow:
And over all their enemies
in strength he made them grow.
 [verse 25]  Whose heart he turn'd, that they with hate
his people did entreat:
And did his servants wrongfully
abuse with false deceit.
