As he was an Uncle, before he entered into the other relations, he lived so lovingly and painfully with him in his house for the space of a month together, that Labans self was both willing to give him some due wages and allowance for his service, which of his own accord he offered himself to do, and also when motion was made of giving him Rachel, did willingly accept the motion, yea put the other upon him too against his will, whereby it is evident, that he behaved not himself so, as to be a cumber and burden to the family, but was helpful to it: This was very commendable in him, that he carried ⟨p. 62⟩himself temperately, and virtuously, and profitably in his Uncles house, where he came to sojourn for a time.
