2. Having taken into your bosomes this Leah, this eldest daughter of grace, truth (and it is fit she should have precedence, it being also not our custome, to give the younger before the first born ) make roome too for the beautifull Rachel of peace, so beautifull that she reflects a beauty on the feet of her messengers. This bigamy is not only lawfull but dutifull. In the old Law the Jewes were not to take a wife with her sister, to vex her: But you cannot vex these sisters, nor your selves, worse than by parting them; He is a Jew that would do it. |
