one_o of_o the_o scripture_n without_o any_o manner_n of_o blame_n or_o reprehension_n and_o we_o be_v not_o rash_o to_o suppose_v person_n that_o be_v so_o high_o honour_v by_o god_n with_o a_o prophetic_a spirit_n a_o gift_n of_o miracle_n a_o priestly_a character_n annex_v for_o ever_o to_o the_o family_n of_o the_o one_o and_o a_o legislative_a power_n invest_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o other_o to_o have_v be_v spurious_a or_o illegitimate_a from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o whatever_o reason_n of_o convenience_n or_o interest_n there_o may_v be_v to_o hinder_v such_o marriage_n from_o be_v enter_v into_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o absolute_a and_o indispensible_a obligation_n till_o after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n by_o moses_n and_o that_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o the_o give_v of_o that_o law_n it_o will_v have_v remain_v still_o in_o the_o same_o prudential_a indifference_n which_o it_o have_v before_o for_o what_o be_v once_o lawful_a must_v always_o continue_v so_o till_o a_o superven_a law_n forbid_v it_o and_o make_v it_o unlawful_a but_o if_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o nephew_n to_o his_o aunt_n be_v a_o marriage_n good_a and_o valid_a before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n by_o moses_n that_o of_o the_o uncle_n to_o his_o niece_n be_v much_o more_o it_o be_v in_o many_o repect_v a_o more_o favourable_a case_n as_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o declare_v and_o therefore_o not_o be_v any_o where_o express_o forbid_v it_o must_v continue_v still_o as_o it_o be_v prudential_n and_o indifferent_a and_o consequent_o lawful_a for_o when_o restraint_n be_v lay_v upon_o lawful_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o inference_n from_o the_o prohibition_n of_o one_o thing_n to_o the_o prohibition_n of_o another_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n whether_o pretend_v or_o real_a but_o the_o prohibition_n stop_v within_o itself_o and_o extend_v no_o further_a than_o the_o letter_n as_o if_o part_n of_o a_o common_a field_n shall_v be_v enclose_v and_o this_o enclosure_n establish_v and_o warrant_v by_o law_n there_o lie_v here_o no_o inference_n by_o parity_n of_o reason_n for_o the_o enclosure_n of_o the_o rest_n but_o what_o be_v not_o actual_o and_o legal_o enclose_v be_v common_a and_o must_v remain_v open_a as_o it_o do_v before_o beside_o that_o moses_n by_o god_n appointment_n shall_v so_o severe_o forbid_v the_o marriage_n of_o a_o aunt_n with_o her_o nephew_n a_o sort_n of_o marriage_n of_o which_o he_o himself_o and_o his_o brother_n aaron_n be_v descend_v bring_v by_o that_o mean_v a_o sort_n of_o aspersion_n and_o something_o that_o be_v at_o least_o very_o like_o a_o reproach_n upon_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n upon_o his_o brother_n aaron_n and_o the_o family_n of_o priest_n that_o be_v for_o ever_o after_o descend_v from_o his_o loin_n and_o yet_o take_v no_o notice_n in_o the_o least_o of_o the_o marriage_n of_o a_o uncle_n with_o his_o niece_n in_o which_o he_o be_v not_o concern_v but_o may_v have_v forbid_v it_o without_o any_o manner_n of_o reflection_n upon_o himself_o or_o his_o relation_n if_o god_n have_v intend_v to_o prohibit_v they_o both_o alike_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o i_o so_o incredible_a that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o and_o i_o presume_v it_o will_v appear_v so_o to_o every_o indifferent_a person_n that_o shall_v reflect_v upon_o it_o fourteen_o there_o be_v also_o the_o case_n of_o achsah_n and_o othniel_n in_o the_o book_n of_o josuah_n and_o judge_n in_o which_o if_o we_o understand_v the_o text_n so_o as_o that_o othniel_n

13._o othniel_n the_o son_n of_o kenaz_n caleb_n young_a brother_n take_v it_o kirjath-seph_a which_o word_n in_o both_o place_n may_v either_o be_v so_o interpret_v that_o othniel_n have_v this_o double_a relation_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o kenaz_n and_o he_o be_v likewise_o caleb_n young_a brother_n by_o the_o mother_n side_n and_o than_o achsah_n the_o daughter_n of_o caleb_n will_v be_v othniel_n niece_n and_o his_o niece_n by_o a_o near_a consanguinity_n than_o that_o in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o or_o else_o that_o othniel_n be_v the_o son_n of_o kenaz_n which_o kenaz_n be_v

ever_o think_v that_o caleb_n and_o othniel_n in_o that_o age_n of_o the_o world_n can_v probable_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o same_o mother_n when_o it_o be_v so_o plain_o demonstrable_a that_o
