or_o unlawful_a that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o endeavour_v a_o marriage_n or_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o matrimonial_a contract_n in_o order_n to_o it_o with_o one_o who_o stand_v relate_v to_o he_o in_o the_o degree_n mention_v in_o the_o say_v query_n and_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a and_o i_o conceive_v its_o unlawfulness_n to_o be_v demonstrable_a from_o that_o prohibition_n in_o the_o eighteen_o of_o leviticus_n v._o 14._o thou_o shall_v not_o uncover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o thy_o father_n brother_n thou_o shall_v not_o approach_v to_o his_o wife_n she_o be_v thy_o aunt_n which_o be_v again_o repeat_v c._n 20._o v._n 20._o if_o a_o man_n shall_v lie_v with_o his_o uncle_n wife_n he_o have_v uncover_v his_o uncle_n nakedness_n they_o shall_v bear_v their_o sin_n they_o shall_v die_v childless_a for_o if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o marry_v his_o aunt_n the_o wife_n of_o his_o father_n brother_n than_o it_o be_v likewise_o unlawful_a for_o a_o woman_n to_o marry_v her_o uncle_n the_o husband_n of_o her_o mother_n sister_n because_o these_o two_o relation_n be_v as_o to_z nearness_n of_o kin_n exact_o the_o same_o so_o that_o all_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o matrimonial_a case_n we_o be_v to_o stick_v to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n or_o whether_o parity_n of_o reason_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v admit_v and_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v the_o latter_a of_o these_o to_o be_v true_a and_o i_o offer_v these_o follow_a reason_n for_o my_o opinion_n first_o the_o fundamental_a reason_n of_o all_o these_o prohibitory_a law_n be_v nearness_n of_o kin._n levit._n 18._o 6._o none_o of_o you_o shall_v approach_v to_o any_o that_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o he_o to_o uncover_v their_o nakedness_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o in_o two_o case_n give_v the_o nearness_n of_o kin_n be_v in_o both_o exact_o the_o same_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n and_o by_o consequence_n its_o obligation_n be_v in_o both_o case_n equal_o concern_v second_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o constant_a and_o universal_o receive_v opinion_n of_o the_o jewish_a rabbin_n and_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o nation_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o it_o for_o in_o the_o matrimonial_a table_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o be_v much_o more_o particular_a than_o that_o of_o moses_n the_o additional_a prohibition_n that_o be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o in_o they_o be_v altogether_o ground_v upon_o parity_n of_o reason_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o mr._n selden_n in_o his_o vxor_fw-la hebraica_n and_o in_o his_o de_fw-fr jure_fw-la naturali_fw-la &_o gentium_fw-la juxta_fw-la disciplinam_fw-la hebraeorum_n where_o he_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o those_o prohibition_n out_o of_o maimonides_n and_o the_o jewish_a talmud_n three_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o these_o prohibition_n be_v not_o of_o a_o pure_o mosaic_a that_o be_v a_o typical_a umbratick_a and_o alterable_a nature_n but_o that_o they_o be_v build_v upon_o the_o reason_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o unchangeable_a interest_n of_o mankind_n for_o the_o propagation_n of_o interest_n and_o dependency_n and_o for_o the_o spread_a and_o continuance_n of_o friendship_n among_o man_n which_o reason_n be_v altogether_o equal_a and_o the_o same_o equal_o violate_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o gratify_v on_o the_o other_o in_o the_o marriage_n of_o a_o aunt_n to_o the_o nephew_n or_o of_o a_o uncle_n to_o the_o niece_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o lawgiver_n proceed_v upon_o this_o reason_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o tolerable_a reason_n of_o these_o prohibition_n assign_v do_v intend_v equal_o to_o prohibit_v both_o if_o he_o have_v prohibit_v either_o of_o they_o otherwise_o we_o must_v suppose_v one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n either_o that_o moses_n that_o be_v in_o effect_n god_n himself_o do_v not_o sufficient_o understand_v and_o comprehend_v the_o full_a extent_n and_o latitude_n of_o that_o reason_n upon_o which_o the_o prohibition_n be_v found_v or_o else_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o those_o law_n may_v be_v violate_v from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o from_o age_n to_o age_n in_o a_o thousand_o miriads_o of_o instance_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n himself_o by_o which_o mean_v it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o uncle_n to_o marry_v the_o niece_n though_o the_o marriage_n of_o a_o aunt_n with_o her_o nephew_n be_v forbid_v that_o whatever_o the_o advantage_n be_v which_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o prohibition_n of_o the_o latter_a to_o be_v procure_v to_o the_o world_n that_o advantage_n by_o the_o licence_n of_o the_o former_a will_v be_v but_o half_o obtain_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n whatever_o the_o disadvantage_n or_o detriment_n be_v which_o be_v design_v to_o be_v avoid_v or_o prevent_v that_o disadvantage_n will_v be_v but_o half_o redress_v now_o both_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v equal_o absurd_a and_o impious_a to_o suppose_v it_o follow_v likewise_o upon_o this_o three_o consideration_n as_o well_o as_o the_o two_o former_a that_o in_o the_o mosaic_a prohibition_n a_o parity_n of_o reason_n and_o a_o parallelism_n or_o sympathy_n of_o case_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v admit_v four_o if_o there_o have_v be_v liberty_n still_o allow_v after_o it_o be_v prohibit_v for_o a_o aunt_n and_o her_o nephew_n to_o intermarry_v together_o yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o a_o uncle_n and_o his_o niece_n to_o do_v it_o and_o so_o in_o other_o parallel_a instance_n that_o may_v be_v give_v this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o a_o very_a plausible_a pretence_n for_o disobedience_n it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o frequent_a murmur_a and_o repine_v in_o the_o party_n that_o be_v prohibit_v to_o marry_v when_o other_o as_o to_z nearness_n of_o blood_n exact_o in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n with_o themselves_o be_v to_o the_o scandal_n of_o all_o law_n and_o justice_n and_o without_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o equity_n indulge_v so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o in_o both_o instance_n the_o very_a self_n same_o reason_n but_o it_o be_v likewise_o necessary_a to_o the_o due_a effect_n of_o the_o prohibition_n express_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v extend_v to_o the_o prohibition_n imply_v by_o parity_n of_o reason_n it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v actual_o extend_v so_o far_o and_o to_o say_v otherwise_o be_v to_o accuse_v the_o divine_a justice_n and_o wisdom_n together_o it_o will_v be_v to_o accuse_v the_o divine_a wisdom_n as_o if_o god_n want_v foresight_n and_o do_v not_o pry_v sufficient_o into_o the_o natural_a issue_n and_o result_v of_o thing_n by_o
