as_o they_o be_v positive_a and_o judicial_a but_o only_o as_o they_o be_v natural_a that_o be_v as_o they_o be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n now_o the_o catholic_n do_v further_o teach_v that_o as_o some_o precept_n in_o leviticus_fw-la be_v natural_a so_o some_o other_o precept_n be_v not_o natural_a but_o mere_o judicial_a and_o therefore_o may_v be_v dispense_v with_o by_o

â—ich_a of_o they_o indispensable_a by_o the_o church_n now_o here_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o those_o be_v natural_a precept_n which_o be_v know_v for_o such_o only_a by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n without_o any_o discourse_n or_o at_o least_o which_o be_v know_v for_o such_o by_o a_o most_o small_a discourse_n of_o reason_n and_o these_o precept_n be_v the_o same_o among_o all_o man_n in_o all_o nation_n and_o time_n both_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o for_o the_o rectitude_n and_o justness_n of_o they_o now_o such_o precept_n as_o for_o the_o know_v of_o they_o do_v need_v supernatural_a light_n be_v call_v divina_fw-la positiva_fw-la divine_a position_n and_o those_o other_o precept_n which_o receive_v their_o establishment_n by_o humane_a discourse_n from_o

transgress_v in_o marriage_n the_o different_a degree_n prohibit_v in_o the_o eighteen_o of_o leviticus_fw-la thus_o for_o example_n we_o there_o find_v that_o marriage_n contract_v in_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o affinity_n in_o the_o right_a line_n god_n punish_v with_o death_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o adultery_n and_o sodomy_n which_o be_v manifest_o against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o same_o punishment_n of_o death_n be_v there_o appoint_v for_o such_o as_o marye_n in_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o consanguinity_n in_o a_o collateral_a line_n as_o when_o the_o brother_n marri_v the_o sister_n but_o now_o in_o the_o second_o degree_n of_o consanguinity_n in_o the_o collateral_a line_n as_o when_o the_o nephew_n marri_v his_o father_n sister_n or_o the_o mother_n sister_n this_o marriage_n be_v punish_v with_o a_o less_o and_o more_o gentle_a punishment_n in_o like_a sort_n marriage_n in_o the_o first_o degree_n of_o affinity_n in_o the_o collateral_a line_n as_o when_o one_o marri_v the_o wife_n of_o his_o brother_n be_v dead_a and_o in_o the_o second_o degree_n to_o wit_n when_o the_o nephew_n marri_v the_o wife_n of_o his_o uncle_n be_v not_o punish_v
