BARABAS. Win it, and wear it; it is yet unsoil'd.<87>
O, but I know your lordship would disdain
To marry with the daughter of a Jew:
And yet I'll give her many a golden cross<88>
With Christian posies round about the ring.

LODOWICK. 'Tis not thy wealth, but her that I esteem;
Yet crave I thy consent.

BARABAS. And mine you have; yet let me talk to her.--
This offspring of Cain, this Jebusite,
That never tasted of the Passover,
Nor e'er shall see the land of Canaan,
Nor our Messias that is yet to come;
This gentle maggot, Lodowick, I mean,
Must be deluded: let him have thy hand,
But keep thy heart till Don Mathias comes.
[Aside to her.]

ABIGAIL. What, shall I be betroth'd to Lodowick?

BARABAS. It's no sin to deceive a Christian;
For they themselves hold it a principle,
Faith is not to be held with heretics:
But all are heretics that are not Jews;
This follows well, and therefore, daughter, fear not.--
[Aside to her.]
I have entreated her, and she will grant.
