Thou deferest whom thou wilt of them, and thou takest to thee whom thou wilt; and whom thou desirest of those thou hast set aside: there is no blame upon thee. That tends to the comfort of their eyes, and that they grieve not, and that they be pleased with what thou givest them; and God knows what is in your hearts, and God is knowing and clement.
