Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And Pharao sayd furthermore: behold, there is much peaple in the lande, and ye make them playe and let theyr worcke stand. ⁶ And Pharao commaunded the same day vnto the taskemasters ouer the people, & vnto the officers saying: ⁷ se that ye giue the people no more strawe to make brycke withall, as ye dyd in time passed: let them go and gather them strawe them selues, ⁸ and the numbre of brycke whyche they were wonte to make in tymes passed, laye vnto their charges also, & minish nothing therof. For they be idle and therfore cry saying: let vs goo and do sacrifyce vnto our God. ⁹ They muste haue more worcke layed vpon them, that they maye laboure therein, and then wyll they not turne them selues to false wordes.
