lawful_a for_o cousin_n germane_a to_o marry_v but_o the_o general_a intention_n consist_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o they_o design_v to_o remove_v all_o the_o obstruction_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n and_o to_o make_v all_o those_o marriage_n to_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a which_o have_v no_o other_o bar_n but_o that_o of_o gregory_n or_o gratian_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o court_n under_o the_o see_v of_o rome_n to_o which_o the_o cognizance_n of_o marriage_n whether_o lawful_a or_o unlawful_a appertain_v the_o second_o general_a intention_n beside_o the_o shake_n off_o the_o yoke_n and_o prevent_v the_o fraud_n and_o abuse_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o such_o as_o be_v commission_v by_o he_o be_v instead_o of_o the_o canon_n law_n which_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o incest_n and_o will_v sell_v the_o most_o grievous_a sin_n for_o a_o sum_n of_o money_n by_o add_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o all_o their_o prohibition_n nisi_fw-la aliter_fw-la

in_o the_o levitical_a law_n or_o in_o the_o unquestionable_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v likewise_o prohibit_v forbid_a and_o make_v unlawful_a by_o this_o their_o second_o general_a intention_n which_o be_v the_o declare_a measure_n of_o all_o particular_a instance_n it_o be_v manifest_a they_o do_v intend_v to_o bind_v up_o and_o restrain_v cousin_n germane_a from_o marry_v one_o another_o if_o it_o shall_v appear_v at_o any_o time_n hereafter_o though_o it_o do_v not_o then_o that_o all_o such_o marriage_n be_v levitical_o unlawful_a ix_o but_o though_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n shall_v in_o express_a word_n have_v give_v a_o licence_n for_o cousin_n germane_a to_o marry_v which_o it_o be_v very_o clear_v it_o have_v not_o do_v yet_o upon_o supposition_n that_o it_o be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o of_o nature_n which_o be_v no_o less_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n then_o that_o of_o revelation_n it_o will_v still_o have_v remain_v unlawful_a for_o any_o christian_a man_n or_o woman_n to_o accept_v of_o this_o liberty_n which_o the_o parliament_n have_v give_v because_o in_o all_o these_o case_n where_o the_o divine_a prohibition_n interfere_v with_o the_o liberty_n grant_v by_o human_a law_n we_o be_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o this_o may_v be_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o maxim_n of_o undoubted_a and_o universal_a truth_n that_o human_a law_n may_v if_o they_o please_v straiten_v the_o restraint_n but_o they_o can_v enlarge_v the_o liberty_n of_o mankind_n beyond_o what_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n do_v allow_v which_o beside_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v very_o plain_a in_o itself_o and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o there_o can_v be_v no_o stable_n and_o

this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o our_o english_a parliament_n have_v themselves_o acknowledge_v for_o so_o speak_v that_o august_n and_o venerable_n assembly_n concern_v incestuous_a and_o

and_o repeal_v the_o canon_n law_n and_o to_o make_v all_o those_o marriage_n and_o conjunction_n lawful_a which_o have_v no_o other_o bar_n than_o the_o canonical_a prohibition_n found_v upon_o the_o

whether_o it_o be_v of_o nature_n or_o of_o revelation_n it_o be_v the_o declare_a intention_n of_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n not_o to_o disannul_v these_o prohibition_n but_o to_o confirm_v

be_v inquire_v into_o be_v what_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o the_o inspire_a write_n either_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n or_o the_o new_a have_v determine_v or_o how_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n which_o if_o appeal_v to_o without_o prejudice_n or_o passion_n be_v the_o impartial_a oracle_n of_o truth_n and_o justice_n will_v decide_v this_o great_a question_n which_o have_v exercise_v the_o wit_n and_o pen_n of_o so_o many_o learned_a man_n concern_v the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n german_n and_o that_o the_o argument_n which_o i_o shall_v produce_v from_o the_o reveal_v law_n of_o god_n may_v have_v the_o great_a force_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v that_o nature_n and_o revelation_n be_v consistent_a to_o each_o other_o and_o as_o i_o shall_v undeniable_o prove_v that_o the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n german_n be_v prohibit_v the_o jew_n and_o by_o consequence_n as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v be_v in_o a_o more_o

make_v my_o entrance_n upon_o the_o decision_n of_o this_o controversy_n by_o inquire_v how_o far_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v concern_v in_o it_o chap._n ii_o of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o obligation_n in_o the_o general_a i._o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v mean_v those_o stand_a rule_n of_o life_n and_o practice_n among_o man_n which_o be_v of_o
