19 Whan a woman hath the bloude yssue of hir flesh, she shalbe put a parte vij. daies in to a sundrie place.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 15:29. Two turtles, or two young pigeons — In all these cases moral pollution was ever considered as being less or more present, as even such infirmities sprang from the original defection of man.
