To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This very reason, when Philo, the Jew, had urged in general, for the scattering friendships, and not limiting alliances to one family, he adds, " Quod respiciens Moyses alias etiam multas propinquorum nuptias vetuit :" meaning, that this argument is sufficiently provided for by the restraints that Moses made, and if we marry out of those limits, the friendship is enough scattered. For beyond brother and sister, uncles and nieces, the relation is far enough off to be receptive of, and to need th...e renova- tion or the arrests of friendship. 7. It were well if cousins-german did not marry, lest, by reason of their usual familiarity, converse, and natural kind- ness, fornications should be secretly procured ; it being too ready for natural love to degenerate into lust. I answer, that therefore let them marry as the remedy. For it were a hard thing that cousins, who do converse and are apt to love, should, by men, be forbidden to marry, when by God they are not. For this aptness to love being left upon them, together with their frequent conversation, is a snare ; which because God knew, he permitted them to their remedy ; and THE GREAT RULE OF CONSCIENCE.
