short_a remark_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v many_o other_o law_n in_o leviticus_n that_o be_v no_o more_o abolish_v by_o christ_n than_o this_o of_o marriage_n which_o yet_o be_v whole_o neglect_v and_o no_o way_n look_v upon_o as_o obligatory_a 2._o many_o doubt_n whether_o any_o of_o the_o law_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o particular_a be_v bind_v to_o other_o nation_n except_v only_o those_o revive_v by_o christ_n which_o this_o of_o marriage_n never_o be_v three_o and_o last_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n that_o when_o the_o question_n be_v put_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o sadducee_n about_o the_o wife_n that_o have_v be_v marry_v to_o seven_o brethren_n though_o it_o be_v a_o common_a practice_n among_o they_o and_o he_o have_v so_o fair_a a_o opportunity_n offer_v he_o yet_o he_o never_o reprove_v the_o custom_n of_o one_o woman_n marry_v several_a brethren_n but_o answer_v only_o to_o the_o plain_a question_n as_o it_o be_v put_v that_o at_o the_o resurrection_n they_o neither_o marry_v nor_o be_v give_v in_o marriage_n now_o since_o he_o do_v reprove_v and_o abolish_v all_o their_o other_o evil_a custom_n it_o may_v well_o be_v suppose_v he_o think_v not_o this_o so_o or_o otherwise_o he_o will_v have_v condemn_v it_o with_o the_o rest_n as_o for_o the_o second_o objection_n that_o such_o a_o marriage_n will_v be_v against_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o therefore_o dangerous_a to_o you_o both_o i_o have_v sufficient_o answer_v this_o already_o as_o likewise_o the_o three_o and_o last_o objection_n since_o as_o well_o the_o statute_n law_n as_o honour_n and_o conscience_n in_o this_o case_n do_v whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o legality_n of_o such_o a_o match_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o point_n i_o think_v have_v be_v pretty_a well_o clear_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v before_o but_o for_o the_o better_a illustration_n of_o the_o matter_n i_o will_v present_v you_o with_o a_o short_a
