which_o do_v not_o admit_v the_o marriage_n of_o brethren_n and_o sister_n child_n as_o surike_v berna_n basile_n schapusin_n sangallum_n biema_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o kingdom_n also_o of_o

those_o cause_n which_o i_o have_v before_o declare_v to_o abstain_v from_o they_o but_o now_o i_o will_v go_v to_o the_o present_a matter_n if_o othoniel_n as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v be_v

we_o must_v needs_o say_v one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n either_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n for_o the_o father_n as_o we_o have_v before_o say_v be_v not_o always_o free_a from_o sin_n or_o

not_o wont_a to_o be_v add_v but_o when_o sister_n and_o brethren_n in_o deed_n be_v compare_v together_o but_o now_o will_v i_o go_v to_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o

what_o other_o thing_n have_v this_o be_v than_o to_o betray_v his_o daughter_n therefore_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o he_o promise_v rash_o for_o a_o wise_a man_n ought_v to_o foresee_v those_o thing_n which_o may_v happen_v how_o be_v it_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n such_o wicked_a and_o flagitious_a man_n among_o the_o israelite_n for_o as_o long_o as_o those_o elder_n live_v which_o govern_v the_o publicque_a wealth_n together_o with_o josua_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o this_o history_n the_o people_n fear_v god_n wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o use_v to_o put_v those_o to_o death_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v guilty_a of_o very_o grievous_a crime_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n lest_o any_o such_o man_n shall_v conquer_v the_o city_n to_o who_o for_o that_o act_n hacsah_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o wife_n of_o duty_n but_o if_o there_o remain_v certain_a small_a and_o common_a fault_n in_o he_o which_o have_v conquer_v it_o the_o same_o may_v be_v recompense_v by_o his_o other_o virtue_n for_o there_o be_v be_v none_o so_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a but_o that_o some_o time_n he_o may_v fall_v moreover_o there_o be_v some_o hope_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o the_o conqueror_n may_v be_v so_o nigh_o of_o kin_n as_o peradventure_o this_o othoniel_n be_v that_o he_o can_v not_o marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o chaleb_n wherefore_o it_o seem_v that_o at_o the_o least_o in_o that_o part_n it_o be_v a_o rash_a promise_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o can_v be_v accuse_v of_o rashness_n promise_n a_o constant_a rule_n of_o all_o humane_a promise_n for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o promise_v aught_o among_o the_o godly_a so_o far_o forth_o to_o be_v of_o force_n as_o they_o do_v agree_v
