"Chafin, that hath married two sisters, upon his appeal from your grace and me, hangeth still before the delegates, and, as much as I can perceive, is not likely to take any great hurt at their hands. I would they would decree it were lawful to marry two sisters, so should the world be out of doubt, as now it is passed away in a mockery,"—Bishop Jewell, in a letter to Archbishop Parker, dated June, 1563. From the original in the Archiepiscopal Palace, Lambeth. (This letter of Bishop Jewel was written two years after the adverse opinion so often quoted.)
