Give not away your selves before hand, commit not that vile Idolatry of making some one man a false god unto you, and let not your hearts be enslaved to any one, before your Parents have given you, who have interest from God to dispose of you according to the rules of discretion for your own good. For Parents look to the constant good of their children in bestowing them, but their own green heads do likely regard nothing else but the pleasing of their eye and fancies, which likely doth end in misery and discontent. And so you have seen Rebekkahs good carriage while she was a maiden, living under the government of her Eather in his Family.
