His sister, a virgin, that hath no husband No husband to take care of her funeral; which was therefore a needful office of charity in her brother, though a priest. That is nigh to him That is, by nearness, not of relation, (for that might seem a needless addition,) but of habitation, one not yet cut off from the family. For if she was married she was now of another family, and under her husband's care in those matters.
