Let us also know that in the beginning, when only the family of Adam lived on the earth, brethren were not forbidden as they were afterward ⟨p. 22⟩For brethren were driven of necessity to marry their sisters. But afterward when men were increased in number, shame showed it self forth, and they began by the instinction of God, or by nature, either to abstain from prohibited persons, or at the least to know that such conjunctions were full of ignominy. But what time they began first to abstain, it appeareth not by the history.1 Peradventure the Heathen Poets have declared that necessity of the elders which compelled the family of the first Parents to constrain the brother to marry the Sister, when as they fable that their Gods had their Sisters to wives: for the chief of them, namely Jupiter had Juno, which in Virgil speaketh thus of her self: But I which walk the Queen of the Gods both sister and wife to Jupiter.
