so_o clear_a as_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o parity_n of_o reason_n between_o the_o marriage_n of_o a_o uncle_n with_o his_o niece_n and_o that_o of_o a_o nephew_n with_o his_o aunt_n it_o be_v now_o manifest_a if_o we_o proceed_v upon_o the_o levitical_a measure_n that_o the_o divorce_n of_o the_o uncle_n from_o his_o niece_n be_v not_o only_o indefensible_a after_o they_o be_v once_o

it_o be_v infer_v to_o be_v unlawful_a by_o parity_n of_o reason_n and_o since_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n be_v in_o this_o case_n of_o matrimony_n the_o declare_a measure_n of_o we_o it_o follow_v unavoidable_o that_o what_o be_v leave_v indifferent_a in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n preserve_v the_o same_o liberty_n and_o indifference_n in_o we_o than_o which_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o but_o because_o nothing_o can_v be_v too_o plain_a or_o too_o sure_a therefore_o i_o add_v further_o that_o though_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o parity_n as_o be_v pretend_v yet_o our_o law_n have_v no_o regard_n to_o any_o such_o way_n of_o illative_a proceed_n and_o this_o i_o will_v prove_v first_o by_o a_o instance_n foreign_a to_o our_o case_n second_o by_o another_o instance_n border_v upon_o it_o and_o three_o by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o the_o act_n itself_o where_o the_o levitical_a prohibition_n be_v make_v the_o measure_n of_o we_o as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o

soul_n but_o now_o it_o be_v a_o rule_v case_n that_o a_o baronet_n son_n or_o brother_n shall_v not_o enjoy_v this_o privilege_n notwithstanding_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v manifest_o honorary_a and_o a_o baronet_n shall_v take_v place_n of_o a_o knight_n beside_o that_o the_o one_o be_v hereditary_a which_o the_o other_o be_v not_o so_o that_o here_o be_v not_o only_o unquestionable_o a_o parity_n but_o a_o twofold_a very_o great_a potiority_n of_o reason_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o baronet_n son_n or_o brother_n and_o yet_o the_o law_n adhere_v so_o strict_o to_o the_o letter_n that_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v no_o privilege_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o statute_n i_o know_v it_o be_v say_v that_o this_o statute_n be_v a_o encroachment_n upon_o a_o common_a right_n there_o be_v

be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o this_o reason_n will_v hold_v as_o well_o in_o natural_a as_o in_o positive_a obligation_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o such_o oblige_v only_o by_o natural_a
