require_v answer_n i_o will_v take_v up_o in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o paper_n and_o first_o i_o find_v one_o phrase_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v very_o predominant_a and_o run_v almost_o through_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o discourse_n it_o be_v this_o that_o christian_n loath_a christian_n abhor_v man_n woman_n and_o child_n cry_v out_o against_o such_o kind_n of_o marriage_n but_o who_o be_v those_o christian_n of_o who_o he_o speak_v if_o he_o mean_v the_o better_a sort_n of_o learned_a and_o judicious_a divine_n he_o be_v certain_o deceive_v for_o i_o have_v show_v already_o the_o contrary_a and_o let_v he_o for_o any_o information_n if_o he_o can_v produce_v for_o himself_o some_o one_o protestant_a learned_a divine_a if_o he_o mean_v some_o of_o the_o ordinary_a sort_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o their_o guide_n who_o ought_v better_v to_o have_v inform_v they_o and_o whereas_o towards_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o discourse_n we_o be_v tell_v of_o a_o die_a woman_n afflict_v in_o conscience_n because_o she_o have_v marry_v her_o cousin_n first_o i_o ask_v of_o what_o weight_n the_o judgement_n of_o a_o silly_a woman_n be_v second_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o prove_v not_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v unlawful_a now_o let_v our_o act_n be_v what_o they_o will_v good_a or_o bad_a yet_o if_o we_o do_v they_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v unlawful_a we_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o rule_v case_n among_o the_o canonist_n conscientia_fw-la erronea_fw-la ligat_fw-la habentem_fw-la he_o that_o do_v a_o good_a action_n take_v it_o to_o be_v unlawful_a to_o he_o it_o be_v unlawful_a if_o therefore_o against_o her_o conscience_n though_o peradventure_o misinform_v she_o marry_v her_o cousin_n she_o deserve_v the_o torment_n of_o mind_n and_o yet_o marriage_n between_o cousin-german_n may_v be_v lawful_a enough_o wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o advise_v those_o concern_v who_o this_o question_n be_v propose_v that_o if_o they_o find_v in_o themselves_o any_o doubt_n concern_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o action_n they_o forbear_v to_o attempt_v it_o until_o all_o scruple_n be_v remove_v but_o i_o see_v that_o the_o main_a foundation_n of_o this_o discourse_n be_v lay_v in_o these_o word_n of_o moses_n you_o shall_v not_o approach_v to_o any_o that_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o uncover_v her_o nakedness_n where_o by_o near_o of_o kin_n first_o and_o second_o cousin_n among_o the_o rest_n be_v think_v to_o be_v mean_v for_o answer_v to_o which_o we_o say_v that_o the_o enumeration_n of_o particular_n which_o moses_n in_o that_o place_n make_v be_v a_o sufficient_a comment_n upon_o those_o word_n and_o those_o who_o be_v reckon_v up_o express_o together_o with_o all_o other_o in_o who_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v find_v be_v to_o be_v esteem_v for_o near_a of_o kin_n and_o beside_o they_o no_o other_o i_o say_v those_o in_o who_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v find_v because_o some_o degree_n there_o be_v which_o be_v not_o mention_v by_o moses_n and_o yet_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v prohibit_v it_o be_v not_o forbid_v a_o woman_n to_o marry_v her_o mother_n sister_n husband_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o the_o man_n be_v forbid_v to_o marry_v his_o father_n brother_n widow_n now_o the_o samo_n reason_n be_v there_o betwixt_o a_o man_n &_o his_o father_n brother_n widow_n which_o be_v betwixt_o a_o woman_n and_o her_o mother_n sister_n husband_n and_o therefore_o both_o be_v understand_v as_o alike_o forbid_v though_o both_o be_v not_o alike_o express_v but_o for_o a_o full_a answer_n to_o these_o word_n i_o refer_v the_o author_n of_o this_o discourse_n to_o francisc._n hottoman_n a_o learned_a civilian_n and_o a_o earnest_n protestant_n who_o in_o his_o disputation_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la

to_o help_v and_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o plutarch_n a_o grave_a writer_n tell_v we_o of_o one_o who_o be_v great_o endanger_v by_o marry_v his_o cousin-german_n certain_o it_o be_v great_a want_n

plutarch_n tell_v we_o that_o some_o one_o who_o or_o when_o he_o tell_v not_o be_v public_o question_v for_o it_o but_o withal_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v absolve_v and_o a_o law_n make_v that_o for_o ever_o after_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v question_v for_o so_o do_v more_o of_o these_o example_n be_v not_o likely_a much_o to_o prejudice_v our_o cause_n for_o certain_o they_o that_o absolve_v the_o party_n and_o make_v a_o law_n that_o no_o man_n ever_o after_o shall_v be_v molest_v on_o the_o like_a occasion_n in_o likelihood_n can_v do_v it_o upon_o no_o reason_n but_o upon_o conceit_n that_o the_o accusation_n be_v found_v upon_o a_o error_n but_o what_o the_o authority_n of_o plutarch_n can_v do_v that_o peradventure_o the_o judgement_n of_o st._n ambrose_n st._n augustine_n st._n gregory_n and_o no_o less_o than_o ten_o council_n will_v effect_v for_o all_o these_o be_v bring_v and_o urge_v to_o discountenance_v all_o marriage_n betwixt_o near_a cousin_n first_o for_o st._n ambrose_n and_o st._n austin_n no_o marvel_n if_o they_o speak_v suspicious_o concern_v this_o kind_n of_o marriage_n since_o they_o live_v at_o the_o time_n when_o the_o law_n make_v by_o theodosius_n in_o prejudice_n of_o they_o be_v as_o yet_o unrepealed_a indeed_o st._n ambrose_n will_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o such_o marriage_n be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o in_o that_o point_n he_o be_v deceive_v st._n austin_n speak_v more_o cautelous_o concern_v this_o kind_n of_o marriage_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n they_o be_v permit_v observe_v that_o they_o have_v be_v but_o late_o prohibit_v by_o humane_a authority_n and_o as_o for_o st._n gregory_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v already_o begin_v to_o enlarge_v their_o phylactery_n and_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v law_n faâ—_n more_o than_o they_o need_v and_o now_o look_v big_a than_o their_o fellow_n all_o council_n especial_o in_o the_o west_n be_v make_v with_o some_o respect_n to_o what_o they_o have_v decree_v no_o marvel_n therefore_o if_o so_o many_o council_n be_v bring_v to_o cry_v down_o marriage_n with_o first_o and_o second_o cousin_n which_o the_o pope_n have_v already_o discountenance_v we_o shall_v rather_o much_o have_v marvel_v if_o any_o council_n have_v appear_v in_o favour_n of_o they_o all_o therefore_o that_o these_o council_n have_v say_v in_o this_o point_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n to_o pass_v for_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o will_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n to_o which_o how_o much_o we_o be_v to_o attribute_v i_o leave_v to_o the_o author_n of_o the_o discourse_n to_o judge_v and_o shall_v we_o attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o st._n gregory_n his_o great_a authority_n make_v nothing_o against_o our_o cause_n for_o he_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o austin_n our_o english_a prelate_n forbid_v the_o law_n only_o against_o first_o cousin_n against_o second_o and_o three_o he_o have_v no_o quarrel_n nay_o his_o word_n sound_v quite_o contrary_a vnde_fw-la necesse_fw-la est_fw-la say_v he_o ut_fw-la in_o tertia_fw-la which_o be_v the_o case_n well_fw-mi in_o quarta_fw-la generatione_n fideles_fw-la sibi_fw-la licite_fw-la conjungantur_fw-la so_o that_o this_o authority_n of_o st._n gregory_n may_v well_o enough_o return_v to_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v take_v for_o any_o harm_n it_o be_v likely_a to_o do_v the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v to_o st._n ambrose_n and_o st._n austin_n that_o in_o the_o case_n they_o may_v be_v admit_v without_o any_o danger_n for_o what_o they_o say_v concern_v only_a first_o cousin_n which_o fall_v a_o degree_n short_a of_o the_o case_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o reason_n of_o some_o consequence_n remain_v for_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o marriage_n betwixt_o first_o cousin_n be_v forbid_v because_o a_o degree_n far_o off_o be_v forbid_v for_o this_o purpose_n we_o be_v
