INCESTUOUS MARRIAGES OR Relations of Consanguinity and Affinity hindering and dissolving Marriage as making all Marriages within such Relations to be Incestuous and all Children begotten of such Marriages to be Illegitimate or Bastards to all intents and purposes I. CONSANGVINITY COnsanguinity Kindred or Blood hinders and dissolves Marriage between three or taking two of them double five Relations 1. Where one of the persons is descended from the other that is Parents and Children viz. Father and Daughter Mother and Sonne 2. Where both persons are descended immediately from a third that is Brother and Sister 3. Where one of the persons is descended from the Brother or Sister of the other For these are Loco Parentum Liberorum in place of Parents and Children viz. Vncle and Neece Aunt and Nephew Hence by reason of Consanguinity no Man may marry his own Mother Daughter Sister Aunt or Neece And by the same reason no Woman may marry her own Father Son Brother Vncle or Nephew II. AFFINITY AFfinity depends upon Consanguinity and so in like manner hinders and dissolves Marriage viz. In what Relation a Man may not marry his own Kinswoman in the same he may not marry his Wifes Kinswoman or his Kinsmans Wife And by the same reason In what Relation a Woman may not marry her own Kinsman in the same she may not marry her Husbands Kinsman or her Kinswomans Husband The reason of both is because Husband and Wife are one Flesh Gen. 2. 24. Hence by reason of Affinity no Man may marry his Wifes Mother or his Fathers Wife his Wifes Daughter or his Sonnes Wife his Wifes Sister or his Brothers Wife his Wifes Aunt or his Vncles Wife his Wifes Neece or his Nephews Wife And by the same reason no Woman may marry her Husbands Father or her Mothers Husband her Husbands Sonne or her Daughters Husband her Husbands Brother or her Sisters Husband her Husbands Vncle or her Aunts Husband her Husbands Nephew or her Neeces Husband Where 1.

All these Relations of Consanguinity and Affinity are prohibited Marriage 1. By the Leviticall Law or Law of God either in expresse terms or which is all one by divers necessary consequences from likeness parity or majority of Reason which is as much as a man is forbidden to marry his own Grand-mother or his own Daughter For neither of these is there forbidden in express terms but both evidently by divers necessary Consequences 2. By the Civil or Imperiall Law in divers express Texts of the Digest Code and Institutes 3. By the Canon Law 4. By the Ecclesiasticall Lawes of the Church of England in all Ages Particularly since the Reformation in the Table set forth by Authority 1563. confirmed and commanded to be set up in all Churches by the 99 th Canon 1603. 5. By severall Statutes or Acts of Parliament in this case provided Particularly by that very Statute 32 H. 8. Cap. 38. which is the onely Statute objected against us and by that very Clause of that Statute which is chiefly insisted upon viz. That no reservation or prohibition Gods Law except shall trouble or impeach any Marriage Without the Levitical Degrees Which plainly imports that all Marriages Within the Leviticall Degrees as all these are shall be troubled and impeached though there were no exception against them by any other Law of God 6. By the Lawes of all other Churches in the Christian World of what Countrey Government or Perswasion in Religion soever they be Lastly whereas this whole Table consists of 30 Prohibitions distinguished into six Classes by A. B. for Consanguinity C. D. E. F. for Affinity and every Class into five Prohibitions by 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. They are so ordered and disposed that they mutually explain and inferr one another above 100 wayes So that grant any one of them and grant all Deny one and deny all Imprimatur Jan. xxii 1677 8. H.
