Book I, 61: On the younger Brother
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
I Know, the Elder and the Yonger, too,
Are both alike to God; Nor one, nor other
Can plead their yeares, But yet we often doe
Observe, the Blessing's on the yonger Brother:
The Scripture notes it, but does spare to show
A reason; therefore, I despaire to know.
