Take heed you Parents that have had, or may have more wives successively, though not together, that the present wife (who if her ill carriage hinder not, must needs be best beloved, because she is present to receive love, and to requite it) I say, that the present wife make you not neglect or wrong the dead wives children; If it do, God may cross you in the children of the living. God hath expressly taken order for this case, and given this Commandment in the Law, If a man have two wives, one beloved, the other hated; that is,1 comparatively hated, less loved, and children by them both; he shall not give the birth right from the son of the less loved, if he be first borne, to the son of the more loved, but shall acknowledge him for the heir, which is so, though his mother find less favour in his eyes.
