And Ioseph was a goodly person, and a well fauoured. 7 And after this, his maisters wyfe cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide: come lye with me. 8 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. 9 There is no man greater in the house then I, neither hath he kept any thyng from me but only thee, because thou art his wyfe: how then can I do euen this so great a wickednes, & sinne against God? 10 And after this maner spake she to Ioseph day by day: but he hearkened not vnto her to sleepe neare her, or to be in her company. 11 And on a certaine conuenient day, Ioseph entred into the house to do his businesse, and there was none of the housholde by, in the house. 12 Then she caught him by the garment, saying: lye with me. And he left his garment in her hande, and fledde, and got hym out.
