from_o the_o natural_a turpitude_n of_o it_o and_o the_o evil_n and_o pernicious_a consequence_n that_o attend_v it_o i._o the_o first_o assertion_n be_v that_o fornication_n be_v a_o violation_n of_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o original_a institution_n of_o marriage_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v from_o gen._n 2._o 23_o 24._o where_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o eve_n be_v form_v out_o of_o adam_n side_n there_o be_v these_o word_n adam_n say_v this_o be_v now_o bone_n of_o my_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o my_o flesh_n she_o shall_v be_v call_v woman_n because_o she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o man_n and_o therefore_o shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh._n and_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v proceed_v thus_o 1._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o god_n to_o provide_v against_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n fall_v state_n when_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a perfection_n of_o his_o reason_n by_o sin_n do_v assist_v he_o in_o some_o case_n by_o divine_a positive_a law_n 2._o that_o these_o word_n mention_v gen._n 2._o 24._o have_v in_o they_o the_o force_n and_o authority_n of_o a_o divine_a law_n 3._o i_o shall_v consider_v what_o the_o true_a sense_n and_o purpose_n of_o this_o law_n be_v 4._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o fornication_n be_v a_o certain_a violation_n of_o it_o and_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o heinous_a sin_n and_o high_o offensive_a unto_o god_n 5._o last_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o objection_n that_o be_v common_o make_v against_o this_o argument_n from_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o particular_a man_n in_o ancient_a time_n that_o be_v nevertheless_o record_v to_o have_v have_v a_o singular_a share_n in_o god_n favour_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v that_o god_n to_o provide_v against_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n fall_v state_n when_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o original_a perfection_n of_o his_o reason_n by_o sin_n do_v assist_v he_o in_o some_o case_n by_o divine_a positive_a law_n but_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o my_o mean_v of_o a_o positive_a law_n by_o which_o expression_n be_v common_o understand_v such_o a_o command_n or_o precept_n as_o tie_n man_v up_o to_o obedience_n in_o thing_n of_o a_o indifferent_a nature_n and_o where_o he_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n by_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n this_o be_v the_o common_a meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n and_o thing_n forbid_v by_o positive_a law_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v therefore_o suppose_v to_o have_v no_o real_a evil_a or_o immorality_n in_o they_o and_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n do_v very_o early_o give_v mankind_n some_o such_o positive_a institution_n yet_o i_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n intend_v the_o original_a institution_n of_o marriage_n to_o be_v positive_a in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o to_o suppose_v that_o it_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n for_o that_o it_o most_o certain_o have_v but_o my_o mean_v be_v that_o to_o prevent_v either_o ignorance_n or_o any_o misconstruction_n of_o the_o law_n of_o reason_n in_o favour_n of_o man_n lust_n god_n be_v please_v to_o confirm_v some_o of_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n by_o revelation_n and_o strengthen_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n by_o positive_a institution_n for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o reason_n be_v either_o 1._o such_o general_a precept_n and_o obvious_a inference_n from_o they_o as_o every_o consider_a man_n may_v see_v and_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o obligation_n or_o else_o 2._o such_o remote_a principle_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n which_o though_o they_o have_v their_o foundation_n in_o reason_n yet_o they_o lie_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o first_o plain_a notice_n and_o consequent_o must_v be_v find_v out_o by_o a_o more_o careful_a and_o difficult_a deduction_n and_o though_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o that_o man_n in_o that_o perfection_n of_o reason_n in_o which_o he_o be_v original_o create_v be_v then_o a_o sufficient_a guide_n unto_o himself_o in_o all_o these_o case_n yet_o when_o humane_a nature_n be_v corrupt_v and_o deprave_a he_o do_v then_o require_v some_o far_a help_n then_o either_o sloth_n inconsideration_n prejudice_n the_o imperfection_n of_o his_o reason_n now_o impair_v by_o sin_n and_o the_o influence_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o affection_n to_o bribe_v and_o pervert_v his_o judgement_n may_v easy_o make_v he_o ignorant_a of_o such_o more_o distant_a principle_n although_o they_o have_v their_o foundation_n in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o which_o reason_n our_o wise_a and_o good_a god_n of_o his_o wonderful_a compassion_n and_o love_n to_o mankind_n be_v please_v to_o come_v in_o to_o our_o assistance_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o influence_n of_o our_o lust_n enlighten_v our_o mind_n by_o revelation_n and_o confirm_v and_o establish_v the_o authority_n of_o some_o such_o natural_a law_n by_o make_v they_o also_o express_v and_o positive_a institution_n and_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n in_o which_o i_o will_v be_v now_o understand_v to_o speak_v of_o divine_a positive_a law_n now_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o god_n give_v adam_n several_a such_o law_n to_o direct_v he_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o good_a or_o evil_a because_o that_o good_a or_o evil_a of_o they_o be_v not_o obvious_a enough_o to_o the_o common_a observation_n of_o man_n deprave_a mind_n such_o they_o esteem_v the_o case_n of_o incestuous_a marriage_n which_o they_o say_v god_n forbid_v by_o express_a law_n to_o adam_n therein_o ordain_v that_o after_o mankind_n be_v so_o far_o multiply_v that_o the_o marriage_n of_o brother_n and_o sister_n be_v no_o long_o necessary_a to_o the_o propagation_n of_o human_a race_n they_o shall_v all_o from_o thenceforth_o become_v unlawful_a and_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v consider_v that_o the_o natural_a immorality_n of_o they_o have_v be_v a_o subject_a of_o debate_n in_o several_a age_n it_o will_v be_v the_o more_o reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v some_o very_a early_a positive_a law_n that_o prohibit_v all_o such_o because_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o sin_n charge_v upon_o the_o canaanite_n and_o their_o example_n allege_v as_o a_o caution_n and_o warn_v to_o the_o israelite_n leu._n xviii_o 24._o defile_v not_o yourselves_o in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n for_o in_o all_o these_o the_o

immorality_n of_o such_o by_o the_o clear_a evidence_n of_o any_o natural_a law_n only_o in_o the_o transgression_n of_o which_o the_o canaanite_n be_v guilty_a it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o god_n add_v the_o authority_n of_o some_o positive_a law_n restrain_v both_o they_o and_o all_o mankind_n in_o this_o respect_n and_o though_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o so_o in_o their_o nature_n good_a as_o to_o be_v of_o perpetual_a use_n and_o everlasting_a obligation_n yet_o as_o they_o make_v up_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n of_o almost_o all_o nation_n until_o the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o saviour_n so_o i_o think_v they_o also_o be_v no_o improper_a instance_n in_o our_o present_a purpose_n what_o law_n of_o nature_n only_o shall_v dictate_v they_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o show_v reason_n indeed_o teach_v to_o worship_n god_n after_o the_o best_a manner_n that_o we_o can_v but_o i_o can_v imagine_v that_o any_o principle_n of_o reason_n only_o teach_v that_o to_o burn_v the_o fat_a of_o beast_n or_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n can_v be_v a_o acceptable_a way_n of_o honour_v god_n or_o of_o express_v our_o dependence_n and_o thanks_o or_o that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n only_o can_v ever_o guide_v and_o determine_v mankind_n so_o universal_o to_o such_o sacrifice_n which_o our_o best_a reason_n teach_v we_o be_v in_o themselves_o not_o acceptable_a but_o only_o value_v as_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o a_o better_a sacrifice_n to_o come_v nor_o can_v i_o believe_v but_o that_o the_o set_v apart_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n our_o creator_n be_v what_o he_o ordain_v and_o command_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o though_o some_o will_v have_v those_o word_n gen._n 2._o 2_o 3._o to_o be_v speak_v by_o

in_o the_o creation_n for_o it_o seem_v odd_a that_o god_n shall_v complete_a the_o creation_n of_o the_o universe_n in_o six_o day_n and_o rest_n on_o
