Farther we must note that this oath of the Israelites of not giving wives unto the Beniamites, was neither godly nor lawful. Wherefore they were not bound to observe it. Howbeit we understand by this history, that this was of force among the people of god, that the daughters should not marry without the consent of their parents. For if it had been lawful for them to have married against their parents will, a man might have said: Although ye will not give your daughters unto them, they of their own accord may contract matrimony with them. This thing is so agreeable unto nature, that the Romaine laws also forbid that matrimony should be firm, except it be contracted by the consent of the parents, as we have before declared. But that thing which neither God, nor nature, nor good laws can suffer, the same doth the Papistical superstition easily admit.

The Israelites come to Shiloh for two causes, partly to ask counsel of God concerning the Beniamites, and partly to give thanks unto God for the victory. Therefore they burn sacrifices and burnt offerings. And they wept for the misery of the Beniamites, even until even. Wherefore it appeareth that they fasted the whole day, otherwise they could not have wept before the lord until even.
