TSK · Genesis 39:4

And sayde: Lorde, yf I haue nowe founde fauour in thy sight, passe not away I praye thee from thy seruaunt.

And Abraham saide vnto his eldest seruaut of his house, whiche had the rule ouer all that he had: put thy hande vnder my thigh:

And he sayde: what is all the droue whiche I met? He aunswered: that I may finde grace in the sight of my lorde.

But he refused, and sayde vnto his maisters wyfe: Beholde, my maister woteth not what he hath in the house with me, and hath committed all that he hath to my hande.

Thou therfore shalt be ouer my house, and accordyng to thy worde shall all my people be ruled: only in the kynges seate wyll I be aboue thee.

(The childe Samuel profited & grew, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men.)

And the king sayde vnto me: What is then thy request? I made my prayer also to the God of heauen,

So shalt thou finde fauour and good vnderstandyng in the sight of God and men.

When a mans wayes please the Lord, he maketh his very enemies to be his frendes.

Seest thou not that they which be diligent in their businesse stande before kinges, & not among the simple people?

Take heede therfore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, ouer the which the holy ghost hath made you ouerseers, to rule the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his owne blood.
