and_o from_o that_o time_n to_o josua_n his_o time_n be_v almost_o .400_o year_n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o very_o likely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o he_o which_o build_v so_o ancient_a a_o city_n

the_o wife_n also_o of_o the_o grandfather_n be_v not_o mention_v of_o &_o though_o the_o wife_n of_o the_o uncle_n by_o the_o father_n side_n be_v speak_v of_o yet_o be_v there_o nothing_o speak_v of_o the_o wife_n of_o the_o uncle_n by_o the_o mother_n side_n yea_o &_o that_o we_o more_o marvel_n at_o there_o be_v no_o prohibition_n for_o the_o father_n to_o marye_n his_o daughter_n when_o as_o all_o man_n confess_v that_o these_o marriage_n be_v most_o incest_n wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o in_o that_o place_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n certain_a

wherefore_o i_o be_o of_o this_o opinion_n that_o i_o think_v the_o prohibition_n mention_v in_o the_o law_n be_v therefore_o set_v forth_o that_o by_o they_o we_o may_v evident_o understand_v what_o be_v meet_v to_o do_v in_o the_o like_a degree_n i_o grant_v nevertheless_o concern_v paulus_n burgensis_n reason_n that_o they_o do_v much_o more_o violate_v the_o law_n which_o do_v concract_v matrimony_n with_o person_n forbid_v law_n who_o sin_v more_o grevouslye_o against_o the_o degree_n prohibit_v it_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o the_o jew_n do_v abide_v in_o the_o right_o observe_v of_o their_o law_n and_o therewithal_o pervert_v also_o the_o order_n of_o kindred_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o he_o do_v far_o more_o vile_o which_o marry_v his_o grandmother_n than_o he_o which_o marry_v his_o niexce_n by_o the_o brother_n although_o i_o think_v that_o both_o these_o matrimony_n be_v not_o lawful_a what_o the_o hebrew_n do_v in_o our_o time_n i_o pass_v not_o much_o to_o know_v yea_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o that_o which_o paulus_n burgensis_n take_v unto_o he_o as_o a_o thing_n sure_a &_o manifest_a namely_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v at_o this_o day_n most_o

wherefore_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a enough_o that_o we_o have_v for_o man_n tradition_n very_o much_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a observation_n of_o the_o comaundemente_n of_o god_n and_o also_o from_o the_o right_a knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o be_v it_o also_o likely_a that_o the_o same_o have_v happen_v unto_o the_o jew_n especial_o in_o this_o our_o age_n wherefore_o i_o be_o not_o injurious_a against_o they_o when_o as_o i_o will_v not_o geve_v more_o to_o they_o than_o to_o ourselves_o god_n the_o jew_n have_v add_v many_o other_o degree_n to_o the_o degree_n express_v of_o god_n nevertheless_o i_o will_v not_o omit_v that_o the_o rabine_n have_v add_v to_o their_o prohibit_v degree_n in_o the_o law_n many_o more_o as_o well_o in_o ascend_v as_o descend_v which_o i_o see_v the_o most_o learned_a man_n paulus_n fagius_n have_v declare_v in_o his_o annotation_n upon_o levit._n nether_a can_v i_o be_v persuade_v that_o they_o be_v add_v by_o they_o for_o any_o

to_o observe_v those_o precept_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o .18_o &_o .20_o chap._n of_o levit._n see_v that_o we_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v no_o more_o bind_v to_o the_o civil_a

howbeit_o i_o think_v it_o good_a this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o some_o judge_v that_o prodition_n &_o espial_n do_v not_o much_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o and_o that_o it_o may_v sometime_o

of_o his_o country_n &_o be_v also_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n a_o domestical_a spy_v but_o this_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v wise_o speak_v because_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o thing_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o definition_n do_v very_o much_o differ_v although_o sometime_o they_o cleave_v both_o in_o one_o man_n so_z that_o the_z same_o man_n may_v be_v both_o a_o betrayer_n &_o a_o spy_v even_o

most_o large_a empire_n for_o so_o will_v god_n have_v discipline_n keep_v the_o world_n and_o publicque_a wealth_n preserve_v god_n do_v therefore_o repent_v at_o the_o sorrowyng_n of_o the_o
