clear_a from_o the_o instance_n of_o ruth_n who_o first_o demand_v a_o near_a kinsman_n and_o then_o upon_o his_o refusal_n boaz_n in_o marriage_n the_o latter_a of_o which_o challenge_n be_v accept_v and_o though_o it_o seem_v clear_a in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n at_o least_o as_o to_o a_o immediate_a brother_n that_o the_o woman_n be_v bind_v to_o put_v in_o her_o claim_n to_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v still_o at_o his_o liberty_n whether_o he_o will_v comply_v with_o it_o or_o no_o only_o it_o seem_v by_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o near_a of_o kin_n in_o the_o family_n of_o elimelech_n in_o the_o story_n of_o boaz_n and_o ruth_n that_o he_o be_v to_o give_v some_o tolerable_a reason_n of_o such_o his_o refusal_n but_o then_o again_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n why_o such_o challenge_n as_o these_o be_v make_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o the_o young_a be_v consider_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o the_o elder_a of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o large_o by_o and_o by_o but_o this_o do_v not_o hold_v in_o the_o collateral_a relation_n who_o be_v not_o under_o the_o same_o subjection_n to_o the_o party_n decease_v nor_o to_o the_o despotical_a authority_n of_o the_o pater-familias_a who_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o common_a sovereign_n to_o all_o the_o son_n but_o have_v no_o such_o power_n over_o the_o descend_a relation_n in_o the_o transverse_n or_o oblique_a line_n second_o it_o be_v do_v for_o the_o better_a preserve_v the_o inheritance_n in_o the_o line_n of_o the_o first-born_a for_o which_o reason_n the_o first-born_a of_o this_o imputative_a wedlock_n be_v to_o rise_v up_o in_o and_o inherit_v the_o name_n of_o the_o decease_a that_o be_v not_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n with_o his_o imputative_a father_n for_o the_o son_n of_o ruth_n by_o boaz_n be_v not_o call_v mahlon_n which_o be_v the_o name_n of_o her_o decease_a husband_n but_o obed_n only_o all_o the_o business_n be_v he_o be_v to_o inherit_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o decease_a which_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o real_a father_n to_o alienate_v from_o he_o or_o divide_v among_o the_o child_n of_o another_o venture_n neither_o have_v he_o any_o right_n to_o such_o inheritance_n but_o what_o be_v devolve_v upon_o he_o by_o his_o elder_a brother_n for_o the_o use_n of_o his_o elder_a son_n by_o his_o say_a brother_n wife_n beget_v by_o he_o in_o his_o brother_n stead_n it_o be_v apparent_a therefore_o if_o there_o be_v no_o inheritance_n in_o danger_n of_o be_v alienate_v from_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n or_o of_o his_o elder_a son_n er_o that_o she_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o reason_n why_o she_o shall_v challenge_v the_o next_o of_o kin_n upon_o the_o decease_n of_o the_o three_o brother_n and_o therefore_o clear_a that_o she_o do_v not_o do_v it_o much_o less_o will_v any_o of_o they_o be_v under_o any_o the_o least_o obligation_n to_o accept_v of_o any_o such_o challenge_n as_o that_o be_v for_o that_o judah_n and_o much_o less_o his_o elder_a son_n have_v yet_o no_o inheritance_n of_o their_o own_o may_v seem_v probable_a from_o this_o that_o jacob_n himself_o be_v yet_o alive_a beside_o that_o they_o short_o after_o be_v to_o part_v for_o egypt_n bid_v a_o long_a adieu_o to_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o all_o their_o immovable_a possession_n in_o it_o however_o judah_n himself_o be_v still_o as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o story_n in_o a_o condition_n capable_a of_o leave_v a_o posterity_n descend_v immediate_o from_o his_o own_o loin_n it_o be_v a_o preposterous_a way_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o artificial_a remedy_n in_o the_o transverse_a line_n when_o nature_n as_o yet_o be_v so_o vigorous_a and_o warm_a as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o propagate_v and_o continue_v its_o self_n so_o that_o it_o remain_v a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o whether_o shelah_n be_v alive_a or_o dead_a she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o obligation_n either_o to_o he_o or_o any_o other_o of_o that_o family_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o by_o this_o action_n be_v say_v to_o have_v commit_v adultery_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o
