Chap. VII. They are kindly entertained by Raguel. 10. Tobias demandeth Sara to wife, which Raguel, encoredged by the Angel, granteth. 15. and the mariage is made.

1   And they went to Raguel, and Raguel receiued them with ioy.

2   And Raguel beholding Tobias, sayd to Anna his wife: How like is this yongman to my sisters sonne!

3   And when he had spoken these wordes, he sayd: Whence are you ye yongmen our brethren?

4   But they sayd: We are of the tribe of Nephthali, of the captiuitie of Niniue.

5   And Raguel sayd to them: Know you Tobias my brother? Who sayd: We know him.

6   And when he spake much good of him, the Angel sayd to Raguel: Tobias, of whom thou askest is this mans father.

7   And Raguel put forth him selfe, and with teares kissed him, and weeping vpon his necke, sayd: Blessing haue thou my sonne, because thou art the sonne of a good and most vertuous man.

8   And Anna his wife, and Sara theyr daughter wept.

9   And after they had talked, Raguel commanded a wether to be killed, and a banket to be prepared. And when he desired them to sitte downe to dinner,

10   Tobias said: I wil not eate nor drinke here this day, vnlesse thou first assure my petition, and promise to geue me Sara thy daughter.

11   Which word Raguel hearing, was sore afrayd, knowing what had chanced to those seuen husbands, which went in vnto her: and he began to feare lest perhaps it might chance to him also in like maner: and when he doubted, and notegaue no answer to him demanding,

12   the Angel sayd to him: Feare not to geue her to this man, for to him fearing God is thy daughter dewe to be his wife: therfore an other could not haue her.

13   Then sayd Raguel: I doubt not but God hath admitted my prayers and teares in his sight.

14   And I beleue that therfore he hath made you come to me, that this mayde might be ioyned to her kinred, according to the law of Moyses: and now haue no doubt but I wil deliuer her

to thee.

15   And taking his daughter by the right hand, gaue it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob be with you, and he ioyne you together, and fulfil his blessing in you.

16   And taking paper they made a writing of the mariage.

17   And after these things they made merie, blessing God.

18   And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and commanded her to prepare an other chamber.

19   And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.

20   And she sayd to her: Be of good cheere my daughter, our Lord of heauen geue thee ioy for the tediousnesse which thou hast suffered.
