of_o which_o i_o can_v evident_o prove_v as_o to_o these_o case_n be_v borrow_v from_o the_o former_a as_o have_v already_o be_v take_v notice_n by_o mr._n selden_n and_o other_o learned_a man_n and_o as_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v prove_v by_o a_o particular_a induction_n i_o say_v as_o well_o by_o the_o jewish_a as_o the_o roman_a law_n affinity_n be_v forbid_v to_o the_o same_o degree_n that_o consanguinity_n be_v and_o the_o roman_a law_n be_v so_o tender_a which_o i_o believe_v be_v likewise_o borrow_v from_o the_o jew_n for_o they_o have_v likewise_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o adoption_n among_o they_o that_o a_o adoptive_a child_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o real_a one_o and_o a_o man_n can_v no_o more_o marry_v his_o adoptive_a daughter_n than_o his_o own_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o by_o adoption_n and_o affinity_n man_n be_v take_v into_o that_o family_n into_o which_o they_o be_v adopt_v or_o to_o which_o they_o be_v ally_v by_o marriage_n and_o so_o they_o be_v all_o look_v upon_o as_o confederates_n one_o with_o another_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o human_a society_n and_o for_o the_o enlarge_n of_o friendship_n among_o man_n it_o be_v more_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v seek_v abroad_o for_o new_a dependence_n and_o new_a relation_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v intermarry_v at_o home_n with_o one_o another_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v shut_v up_o their_o interest_n in_o a_o more_o narrow_a compass_n when_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v far_o spread_v to_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o human_a life_n it_o be_v likewise_o further_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o this_o case_n that_o the_o egyptian_n though_o otherwise_o a_o people_n hate_v by_o god_n or_o at_o least_o forsake_a and_o abandon_v by_o he_o though_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v in_o itself_o impassable_a be_v not_o where_o charge_v with_o any_o incestuous_a crime_n no_o more_o be_v the_o philistine_n or_o moabite_n or_o the_o son_n of_o ammon_n

interest_n within_o so_o small_a a_o compass_n be_v a_o prey_n to_o their_o enemy_n and_o to_o one_o another_o and_o i_o can_v further_o make_v it_o unquestionable_o appear_v out_o of_o aeschylus_n his_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n german_n be_v general_o hold_v to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o detestable_a all_o over_o the_o east_n if_o you_o demand_v further_o of_o i_o how_o far_o these_o prohibition_n extend_v i_o answer_v that_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n that_o new_a friendship_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o marriage_n so_o

demand_v what_o the_o true_a barrier_n and_o boundary_a of_o these_o prohibition_n be_v i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v second_o cousin_n who_o be_v call_v by_o the_o ●…atines_v sobrini_fw-la quasi_fw-la sororini_n or_o sororum_fw-la silij_fw-la to_o intimate_v that_o so_o far_o they_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o brother_n and_o sister_n and_o be_v prohibit_v to_o marry_v with_o one_o another_o as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o in_o due_a time_n undeniable_o to_o appear_v by_o compare_v the_o capitular_o of_o charlemain_n which_o be_v now_o eight_o hundred_o year_n old_a with_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ancient_a wisigoth_n and_o with_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o roman_n but_o though_o the_o prohibition_n be_v extend_v general_o thus_o far_o over_o all_o the_o east_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o obligatory_a to_o the_o jew_n than_o to_o any_o other_o nation_n because_o be_v forbid_a commerce_n with_o any_o of_o the_o idolatrous_a nation_n and_o be_v always_o at_o enmity_n with_o they_o they_o have_v the_o more_o need_n of_o a_o strict_a friendship_n and_o good_a understanding_n between_o themselves_o and_o if_o the_o obligation_n be_v so_o strict_a to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v still_o more_o so_o to_o all_o christian_a people_n because_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v peace_n and_o the_o improvement_n of_o charity_n and_o good_a nature_n among_o man_n but_o it_o be_v still_o of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o indispensable_a obligation_n of_o all_o to_o this_o part_n of_o christendom_n and_o to_o these_o unhappy_a time_n into_o which_o we_o be_v fall_v wherein_o almost_o every_o man_n be_v at_o enmity_n with_o his_o neighbour_n that_o for_o the_o compose_v man_n mind_n and_o for_o the_o allay_a their_o animosity_n by_o the_o caress_n of_o love_n man_n shall_v marry_v at_o a_o good_a distance_n from_o themselves_o into_o a_o new_a interest_n and_o a_o new_a dependence_n and_o that_o the_o several_a party_n and_o faction_n shall_v intermarry_v with_o one_o another_o which_o add_v to_o a_o vigorous_a execution_n of_o the_o law_n with_o a_o constant_a and_o impartial_a justice_n by_o the_o civil_a power_n be_v probable_o the_o only_a way_n to_o allay_v our_o heat_n and_o division_n and_o to_o bring_v we_o all_o to_o a_o more_o charitable_a sense_n and_o understanding_n of_o one_o another_o and_o i_o be_o humble_o of_o opinion_n that_o among_o all_o the_o wise_a law_n by_o which_o the_o roman_a state_n be_v govern_v and_o be_v by_o degree_n bring_v to_o that_o height_n of_o greatness_n and_o of_o power_n there_o be_v none_o that_o contribute_v so_o large_o to_o that_o effect_n as_o that_o law_n which_o be_v pass_v by_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o policy_n of_o one_o of_o the_o tribune_n de_fw-fr maritandis_fw-la ordinibus_fw-la whereby_o the_o patricii_fw-la and_o the_o plebeii_fw-la who_o be_v before_o at_o mortal_a jar_n be_v make_v intermarriageable_a with_o one_o another_o which_o be_v a_o very_a natural_a expedient_a of_o calm_v and_o compose_v the_o disturbance_n which_o the_o animosity_n and_o mutual_a resentment_n of_o the_o two_o faction_n have_v create_v and_o i_o do_v further_o propose_v it_o to_o your_o most_o serious_a and_o impartial_a consideration_n that_o it_o will_v have_v be_v impossible_a the_o roman_a empire_n shall_v ever_o have_v arrive_v at_o that_o greatness_n that_o it_o shall_v ever_o have_v be_v so_o strong_a and_o so_o compact_v at_o home_n or_o so_o formidable_a abroad_o have_v not_o these_o matrimonial_a prohibition_n be_v establish_v by_o their_o law_n and_o custom_n to_o make_v the_o cement_n of_o society_n more_o strong_a and_o last_a so_o that_o since_o i_o have_v already_o lay_v it_o down_o as_o a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o prohibition_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o roman_n be_v the_o same_o all_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o cousin_n german_n be_v include_v in_o the_o roman_a prohibition_n which_o i_o will_v prove_v they_o be_v out_o of_o a_o passage_n in_o plutarch_n in_o his_o questiones_fw-la romanae_fw-la and_o out_o of_o a_o fragment_n of_o ulpian_n publish_v by_o pythaeus_n in_o the_o author_n of_o the_o collation_n of_o the_o mosaic_a and_o roman_a law_n and_o out_o of_o the_o digest_v of_o justinian_n under_o the_o title_n de_fw-fr ritu_fw-la nuptiarum_fw-la and_o that_o this_o prohibition_n extend_v still_o further_o to_o second_o cousin_n i_o will_v make_v it_o very_o high_o probable_a from_o a_o passage_n in_o athenaeus_n there_o be_v other_o natural_a reason_n which_o may_v be_v assign_v why_o the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n germane_a be_v unlawful_a and_o which_o i_o do_v now_o purposely_o omit_v that_o i_o may_v not_o detain_v you_o too_o long_o from_o your_o occasion_n but_o yet_o however_o since_o the_o main_a reason_n and_o since_o all_o the_o reason_n that_o can_v be_v assign_v be_v found_v in_o the_o interest_n of_o human_a society_n it_o be_v as_o much_o for_o that_o interest_n that_o all_o the_o marriage_n of_o this_o nature_n already_o consummate_v by_o carnal_a knowledge_n shall_v stand_v good_a and_o indissoluble_a as_o that_o all_o such_o marriage_n shall_v de_fw-la futuro_fw-la be_v hinder_v nay_o rather_o more_o because_o the_o inconveniency_n which_o the_o dissolution_n of_o such_o marriage_n will_v produce_v will_v be_v so_o sudden_a and_o so_o present_a as_o well_o as_o so_o great_a by_o brand_a so_o many_o family_n or_o their_o descendants_n with_o ignominious_a name_n and_o
