Earl of Albemarle.

"The passage (Lev. xviii. 18) requires no aid from a canon. It is so clear and distinct, as to leave no doubt on my mind respecting the divine permission to contract these marriages." "I shall vote for this bill, because I consider it calculated to prevent a vast degree of immorality among the poor; and because I hold the prohibition of such marriages to be a flagrant violation of the rights of conscience."—Speech of the Earl of Albemarle.
