as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o aunt_n by_o the_o father_n side_n v._o 12._o thou_o shall_v not_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o thy_o father_n sister_n she_o be_v thy_o father_n near_o kinswoman_n and_o again_o v._o 13._o of_o the_o aunt_n by_o the_o mother_n side_n thou_o shall_v not_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o thy_o mother_n sister_n for_o she_o be_v thy_o mother_n near_a kinswoman_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o though_o the_o niece_n be_v at_o the_o same_o distance_n from_o i_o in_o the_o descend_a line_n that_o the_o aunt_n be_v in_o the_o ascend_n yet_o when_o the_o express_a reason_n assign_v in_o the_o law_n why_o i_o may_v not_o marry_v my_o aunt_n be_v not_o because_o she_o be_v i_o but_o my_o father_n or_o mother_n near_o kinswoman_n this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o dart_v any_o prohibition_n upon_o my_o niece_n that_o it_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a plain_o favourable_a and_o propitious_a to_o a_o marriage_n in_o that_o relation_n because_o my_o niece_n who_o be_v my_o father_n grandchild_n be_v plain_o at_o a_o further_a distance_n from_o he_o than_o my_o aunt_n who_o be_v his_o sister_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o one_o be_v a_o immediate_a relation_n but_o the_o other_o by_o the_o interposition_n of_o a_o son_n or_o daughter_n betwixt_o be_v a_o relation_n at_o the_o second_o remove_n and_o because_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n can_v get_v or_o bear_v child_n by_o themselves_o without_o the_o conjunction_n of_o another_o it_o be_v therefore_o only_a a_o relation_n by_o the_o half_a blood_n and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o niece_n by_o the_o brother_n there_o be_v not_o only_o the_o half_a blood_n to_o be_v consider_v but_o that_o that_o half_a blood_n itself_o be_v the_o more_o weak_a and_o uncertain_a consanguinity_n of_o the_o two_o as_o have_v be_v already_o frequent_o declare_v so_o that_o if_o the_o nearness_n to_o my_o father_n or_o mother_n be_v the_o express_a reason_n assign_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n why_o i_o may_v not_o marry_v my_o aunt_n no_o man_n can_v with_o any_o show_n of_o reason_n infer_v from_o thence_o that_o i_o be_o forbid_v likewise_o to_o marry_v my_o niece_n because_o the_o distance_n be_v manifest_o great_a from_o the_o fountain_n of_o kindred_n and_o the_o relation_n unquestionable_o more_o imperfect_a so_o also_o when_o it_o be_v say_v v._o 14._o thou_o shall_v not_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o thy_o father_n brother_n thou_o shall_v not_o approach_v to_o his_o wife_n she_o be_v thy_o aunt_n here_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n manifest_o imply_v first_o that_o in_o the_o levitical_a prohibition_n consanguinity_n and_o affinity_n be_v consider_v as_o the_o same_o and_o be_v prohibit_v to_o the_o same_o degree_n second_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o she_o be_v forbid_v in_o marriage_n be_v because_o she_o be_v my_o brother_n wife_n that_o be_v in_o construction_n of_o law_n my_o father_n sister_n or_o near_a kinswoman_n and_o three_o as_o in_o the_o two_o former_a case_n that_o this_o be_v do_v out_o of_o respect_n and_o honour_n to_o my_o father_n with_o who_o she_o stand_v upon_o the_o same_o level_n or_o horizontal_n plane_n in_o the_o scheme_n of_o consanguinity_n or_o affinity_n so_o that_o to_o marry_v my_o aunt_n be_v to_o make_v my_o father_n equal_a my_o inferior_a and_o to_o subject_v she_o to_o the_o mean_a and_o servile_a condition_n of_o a_o wife_n to_o who_o i_o owe_v the_o service_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o parent_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o those_o word_n in_o this_o last_o place_n she_o be_v thy_o aunt_n for_o every_o man_n know_v without_o the_o help_n of_o revelation_n that_o his_o father_n brother_n wife_n be_v his_o aunt_n but_o there_o be_v manifest_o include_v in_o they_o a_o intimation_n of_o her_o superiority_n over_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o she_o stand_v equal_a in_o the_o table_n of_o affinity_n with_o our_o father_n or_o mother_n and_o therefore_o she_o ought_v not_o to_o submit_v to_o have_v her_o nakedness_n uncover_v by_o her_o inferior_a and_o dependent_a or_o put_v herself_o into_o a_o condition_n of_o subjection_n to_o he_o from_o who_o she_o may_v expect_v and_o challenge_v the_o duty_n service_n and_o allegiance_n of_o a_o son_n and_o therefore_o the_o greek_n call_v the_o uncle_n and_o aunt_n

now_o say_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o law_n by_o which_o the_o nephew_n be_v prohibit_v to_o marry_v his_o aunt_n be_v found_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o

a_o niece_n four_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o amram_n take_v to_o wife_n jochebed_n his_o father_n sister_n and_o this_o can_v not_o be_v long_o before_o the_o give_n of_o the_o law_n for_o of_o
