and_o whosoever_o else_o shall_v presume_v to_o be_v like_a unto_o they_o what_o be_v their_o doom_n it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o one_o word_n but_o that_o be_v a_o sharp_a one_o they_o be_v curse_v but_o far_o observe_v concern_v this_o doom_n who_o do_v pronounce_v it_o and_o who_o do_v approve_v it_o they_o that_o pronounce_v it_o be_v the_o levite_n so_o we_o read_v verse_n 14_o and_o they_o be_v will_v to_o pronounce_v it_o with_o a_o audible_a voice_n so_o audible_a that_o all_o israel_n may_v hear_v they_o that_o approve_v it_o be_v the_o people_n they_o be_v require_v to_o say_v amen_o in_o token_n that_o they_o all_o assent_n to_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v all_o the_o people_n must_v say_v amen_n you_o have_v the_o brief_a of_o my_o text_n i_o purpose_v god_n will_v now_o to_o enlarge_v it_o i_o pray_v god_n i_o may_v so_o do_v it_o as_o that_o we_o that_o stand_v may_v take_v heed_n lest_o we_o fall_v and_o these_o that_o be_v fall_v may_v learn_v to_o rise_v again_o i_o begin_v with_o the_o sin_n wherein_o we_o be_v first_o to_o make_v you_o see_v that_o the_o text_n do_v fit_a this_o occasion_n for_o neither_o of_o the_o match_n therein_o specify_v seem_v to_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o present_a censure_n not_o the_o collateral_a for_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o sister_n by_o consanguinity_n and_o these_o penitent_n be_v brother_n and_o sister_n only_o by_o affinity_n not_o that_o in_o the_o right_a line_n for_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o man_n lie_v with_o his_o mother_n in-law_n or_o his_o wife_n mother_n but_o this_o man_n here_o be_v censure_v for_o lie_v with_o his_o wife_n daughter_n and_o so_o you_o may_v think_v that_o neither_o of_o these_o couple_n come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o text_n and_o therefore_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n neither_o need_n fear_v the_o doom_n to_o take_v away_o this_o doubt_n you_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o two_o rule_n in_o divinity_n the_o first_o be_v that_o affinity_n make_v person_n as_o near_o in_o the_o law_n as_o consanguinity_n do_v the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v plain_a affinity_n be_v ground_v upon_o marriage_n and_o by_o marriage_n two_o become_v one_o flesh_n and_o consequent_o their_o kinted_a whether_o ascendent_a or_o descendent_a or_o collateral_a become_v alike_o near_o on_o each_o side_n to_o the_o other_o your_o wife_n father_n and_o mother_n brethren_n and_o sister_n son_n and_o daughter_n be_v unto_o you_o by_o she_o as_o near_o as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o your_o own_o blood_n this_o be_v true_a you_o perceive_v that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o unlawful_a for_o this_o man_n to_o couple_n with_o his_o wife_n sister_n then_o with_o his_o own_o sister_n the_o daughter_n of_o his_o father_n or_o the_o daughter_n of_o his_o mother_n the_o other_o rule_n be_v that_o more_o than_o be_v express_v in_o god_n law_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o by_o analogy_n it_o may_v fair_o be_v deduce_v therefrom_o god_n himself_o be_v our_o direction_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o analogy_n for_o if_o you_o compare_v this_o chapter_n with_o the_o 18_o of_o levit._n you_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o very_a instance_n of_o a_o man_n lie_v with_o his_o mother-in-law_n which_o be_v mention_v here_o be_v omit_v there_o whereupon_o you_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o some_o particular_n which_o god_n forbid_v be_v not_o name_v in_o the_o letter_n though_o they_o be_v within_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v as_o wide_a as_o analogy_n will_v suffer_v i_o will_v show_v you_o in_o a_o word_n what_o this_o analogy_n be_v it_o be_v that_o person_n which_o be_v not_o forbid_v express_o and_o in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v there_o forbid_v implicit_o and_o in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n where_o other_o in_o the_o same_o distance_n of_o consanguinity_n or_o affinity_n be_v express_o forbid_v as_o for_o example_n the_o law_n forbid_v express_o a_o nephew_n to_o marry_v with_o his_o aunt_n it_o say_v nothing_o of_o a_o uncle_n marry_v with_o his_o niece_n yet_o these_o be_v as_o near_o in_o degree_n as_o the_o other_o we_o may_v of_o they_o reasonable_o conclude_v that_o they_o also_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o law_n the_o exception_n of_o the_o romanist_n be_v frivolous_a to_o our_o purpose_n by_o the_o letter_n of_o my_o text_n a_o man_n may_v not_o marry_v with_o his_o mother-in-law_n which_o may_v be_v either_o his_o wife_n mother_n or_o his_o father_n wife_n if_o not_o with_o his_o
