consequence_n have_v a_o plausible_a pretence_n to_o disobey_v and_o it_o will_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o tax_v he_o with_o want_n of_o justice_n which_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o essential_a

that_o it_o be_v by_o that_o very_a prohibition_n intentional_o forbid_v for_o he_o to_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o his_o own_o so_o likewise_o it_o be_v forbid_v for_o a_o man_n to_o marry_v

the_o other_o and_o both_o of_o they_o universal_o without_o any_o one_o exception_n to_o be_v levitical_o prohibit_v and_o unlawful_a because_o the_o same_o reason_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v which_o forbid_v the_o marriage_n of_o the_o half-sister_n be_v much_o more_o strong_a and_o powerful_a against_o a_o incestuous_a conjunction_n with_o the_o whole_a so_o that_o it_o appear_v plain_o not_o

it_o be_v universal_o do_v and_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o in_o all_o which_o may_v render_v my_o five_o and_o last_o consideration_n in_o a_o manner_n useless_a which_o be_v that_o god_n be_v so_o high_o displease_v with_o the_o amorites_n and_o other_o nation_n as_o utter_o to_o extirpate_v they_o from_o off_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o give_v

that_o the_o sanction_n of_o several_a of_o the_o levitical_a prohibition_n be_v certain_a and_o unavoidable_a death_n in_o the_o most_o public_a manner_n in_o the_o face_n and_o open_a view_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n this_o aught_o to_o teach_v we_o not_o only_o to_o admit_v a_o parity_n or_o potiority_n of_o reason_n when_o they_o lie_v so_o natural_o and_o so_o fair_o in_o our_o way_n that_o we_o can_v without_o blush_v pretend_v to_o shun_v or_o avoid_v they_o but_o rather_o than_o restrain_v our_o obligation_n to_o the_o divine_a law_n within_o too_o narrow_a bound_n to_o exceed_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n by_o a_o pious_a mistake_n instead_o of_o fall_v short_a out_o of_o a_o spirit_n of_o presumption_n which_o be_v a_o offence_n to_o god_n when_o it_o have_v not_o modest_o dutiful_o and_o impartial_o consider_v thing_n though_o it_o shall_v happen_v to_o determine_v right_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n or_o the_o instance_n of_o obedience_n and_o this_o be_v my_o first_o answer_n to_o the_o question_v propose_v concern_v the_o marriage_n of_o a_o uncle_n with_o his_o niece_n which_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o parity_n or_o similitude_n of_o the_o case_n to_o the_o marriage_n of_o a_o aunt_n with_o her_o nephew_n but_o second_o it_o be_v i_o presume_v agree_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o nephew_n to_o intermarry_v with_o his_o father_n or_o mother_n own_o sister_n the_o amita_fw-la or_o matertera_fw-la the_o consanguineous_a aunt_n by_o the_o father_n or_o mother_n side_n and_o it_o be_v i_o think_v as_o universal_o determine_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o uncle_n to_o intermarry_v with_o his_o niece_n the_o daughter_n of_o his_o own_o brother_n or_o sister_n and_o this_o be_v certain_o the_o old_a roman_a law_n till_o claudius_n procure_v it_o to_o be_v abrogate_a by_o the_o senate_n to_o excuse_v and_o justify_v a_o incestuous_a passion_n for_o his_o belove_a agrippina_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o all_o to_o be_v so_o foul_a and_o abominable_a a_o thing_n that_o the_o example_n be_v not_o follow_v in_o that_o age_n by_o any_o more_o than_o one_o as_o tacitus_n inform_v we_o or_o two_o at_o the_o most_o as_o suetonius_n will_v have_v it_o and_o they_o also_o do_v it_o rather_o out_o of_o complaisance_n and_o flattery_n to_o agrippina_n at_o who_o instance_n it_o be_v do_v than_o out_o of_o any_o natural_a inclination_n in_o the_o contract_n party_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n because_o of_o its_o turpitude_n and_o incestuous_a nature_n it_o be_v repeal_v by_o nerva_n and_o though_o it_o be_v afterward_o restore_v by_o

adrian_n and_o encourage_v after_o that_o by_o the_o example_n of_o l._n antoninus_n caesar_n who_o marry_v his_o niece_n lucilla_n the_o daughter_n of_o his_o brother_n m._n aurelius_n antoninus_n

to_o marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o his_o brother_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v that_o though_o in_o law_n well_o constitute_v for_o a_o bar_n to_o concupiscence_n and_o for_o the_o spread_a of_o friendship_n a_o parity_n of_o case_n ought_v to_o be_v allow_v yet_o the_o violation_n of_o a_o law_n in_o one_o case_n ought_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n to_o be_v draw_v into_o precedent_n or_o example_n to_o the_o violation_n of_o it_o in_o another_o so_o that_o it_o be_v natural_o or_o political_o unlawful_a or_o inconvenient_a for_o a_o man_n to_o marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o his_o

with_o your_o own_o sister_n for_o a_o brother_n and_o a_o sister_n be_v in_o relation_n the_o same_o last_o v._o 14._o which_o i_o mention_v last_o because_o i_o intend_v to_o make_v the_o most_o

a_o man_n may_v not_o approach_v to_o his_o aunt_n in_o affinity_n or_o by_o marriage_n be_v because_o the_o aunt_n in_o consanguinity_n or_o by_o blood_n be_v forbid_v and_o because_o of_o the_o

in_o the_o same_o nature_n may_v not_o marry_v his_o niece_n because_o the_o distance_n in_o both_o case_n be_v exact_o the_o same_o and_o if_o affinity_n and_o consanguinity_n go_v hand_n in_o hand_n

by_o blood_n by_o reason_n of_o man_n and_o wife_n be_v be_v the_o same_o flesh_n and_o legal_o unite_v into_o the_o same_o person_n then_o be_v a_o man_n forbid_v by_o the_o levitical_a law_n to_o

answer_n be_v affirmative_a that_o it_o do_v because_o though_o the_o legal_a nearness_n of_o a_o sister-in-law_n and_o a_o sister_n by_o both_o parent_n be_v the_o same_o so_o far_o as_o the_o matrimonial_a prohibition_n be_v concern_v yet_o the_o natural_a nearness_n be_v great_a in_o a_o half_a sister_n then_o in_o a_o sister_n by_o affinity_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v reasonable_a if_o the_o one_o be_v forbid_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o sister_n by_o affinity_n the_o sister_n german_n or_o vterine_n by_o father_n or_o mother_n side_n be_v much_o more_o and_o to_o this_o it_o

of_o those_o time_n to_o take_v she_o to_o wife_n but_o without_o any_o elaborate_a canvas_n the_o business_n this_o query_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v by_o compare_v these_o two_o place_n together_o levit_fw-la 18._o 6._o it_o be_v say_v none_o of_o you_o shall_v approach_v to_o any_o that_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o he_o to_o uncover_v their_o nakedness_n and_o v._o 9_o the_o nakedness_n of_o

not_o uncover_v from_o whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o compare_v the_o latter_a place_n with_o the_o former_a that_o the_o half-sister_n be_v near_o of_o kin_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o half-blood_n make_v kindred_n therefore_o a_o man_n wife_n half-sister_n be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o his_o wife_n sister_n and_o because_o affinity_n and_o consanguinity_n in_o the_o practice_n
