have_v be_v as_o well_o forbid_v to_o marry_v as_o they_o that_o be_v of_o consanguinite_n but_o there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n why_o they_o that_o be_v of_o consanguinite_n shall_v be_v

to_o gether_o of_o man_n and_o wife_n and_o other_o to_o the_o love_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v between_o they_o to_z we_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v chieff_o command_v we_o in_o

the_o very_a reason_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o leviticall_a prohibition_n this_o thing_n plain_o declare_v for_o god_n do_v put_v to_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o forbyddyngis_n after_o they_o which_z
