NOW Potiphar, an Egyptian, who was chief cook to king Pharaoh, bought
Joseph of the merchants, who sold him to him. He had him in the greatest
honor, and taught him the learning that became a free man, and gave him
leave to make use of a diet better than was allotted to slaves. He intrusted
also the care of his house to him. So he enjoyed these advantages, yet
did not he leave that virtue which he had before, upon such a change of
his condition; but he demonstrated that wisdom was able to govern the uneasy
passions of life, in such as have it in reality, and do not only put it
on for a show, under a present state of prosperity.
