together_o in_o that_o respect_n now_o this_o matter_n of_o consanguinity_n and_o affinity_n will_v be_v clear_v by_o the_o due_a observation_n of_o these_o brief_a and_o plain_a rule_n follow_v consanguinity_n rule_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o question_n about_o affinity_n and_o consanguinity_n first_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v lawful_o marry_v any_o of_o those_o that_o touch_v they_o in_o a_o direct_a line_n upward_o or_o downward_o to_o all_o generation_n as_o adam_n if_o he_o be_v alive_a and_o a_o widower_n may_v not_o lawful_o marry_v any_o woman_n in_o all_o the_o world_n neither_o might_n euah_n if_o the_o be_v alive_a and_o a_o widow_n be_v lawful_o marry_v to_o any_o man_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o in_o all_o these_o the_o same_o blood_n do_v run_v along_o still_o undevided_a and_o so_o they_o be_v proper_o the_o kindred_n of_o their_o flesh_n second_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v lawful_o marry_v the_o brother_n or_o sister_n of_o any_o his_o successor_n or_o predecessor_n in_o a_o direct_a line_n to_o all_o generation_n so_o abel_n be_v seths_n brother_n of_o who_o all_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n be_v direct_o proceed_v may_v not_o if_o he_o be_v alive_a marry_v any_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n so_o the_o brother_n of_o a_o woman_n father_n or_o grandfather_n or_o great_a grandfather_n may_v not_o lawful_o marry_v that_o woman_n the_o roason_n of_o this_o be_v also_o plain_a for_o the_o brother_n and_o sister_n of_o one_o father_n or_o mother_n be_v to_o he_o or_o she_o in_o place_n of_o a_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o in_o these_o also_o the_o same_o blood_n remain_v undevided_a for_o brother_n and_o sister_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o blood_n three_o no_o man_n or_o woman_n may_v lawful_o marry_v his_o or_o her_o natural_a brother_n or_o sister_n either_o by_o the_o whole_a or_o by_o the_o half_a blood_n as_o neither_o reuben_n that_o have_v the_o same_o father_n and_o mother_n nor_o joseph_n that_o have_v alone_o the_o same_o father_n may_v lawful_o marry_v dinah_n their_o sister_n four_o what_o man_n be_v so_o near_o in_o blood_n to_o the_o husband_n that_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o marry_v he_o if_o the_o sex_n do_v serve_v he_o neither_o may_v the_o wife_n marry_v after_o her_o husband_n death_n and_o so_o contrary_o so_o i_o may_v not_o marry_v my_o uncle_n if_o i_o be_v a_o woman_n therefore_o if_o i_o be_v dead_a my_o wife_n may_v not_o lawful_o be_v marry_v to_o my_o uncle_n so_o my_o wife_n if_o she_o be_v a_o man_n may_v not_o lawful_o marry_v her_o sister_n therefore_o if_o my_o wife_n be_v dead_a i_o may_v not_o lawful_o marry_v her_o sister_n of_o which_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a husband_n and_o wife_n be_v one_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o with_o what_o person_n kindred_n will_v not_o suffer_v one_o of_o they_o to_o marry_v neither_o will_v affinity_n suffer_v the_o other_o but_o whatsoever_o person_n be_v not_o by_o these_o four_o rule_n debar_v from_o matrimony_n each_o with_o other_o they_o may_v lawful_o marry_v together_o without_o scruple_n so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v only_o for_o this_o matter_n i_o refer_v every_o man_n to_o the_o table_n of_o degree_n authorize_v by_o our_o church_n and_o public_o set_v up_o in_o every_o of_o our_o church_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o first_o thing_n require_v in_o the_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v link_v in_o wedlock_n the_o second_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o person_n

no_o pain_n no_o diligence_n can_v help_v a_o man_n unto_o and_o from_o trouble_n by_o these_o fault_n where_o they_o have_v a_o be_v and_o a_o work_n no_o wisdom_n no_o love_n no_o piety_n can_v
