The Twelve Judges, 1670

The Twelve Judges, 1670.

"Within the meaning of Leviticus, and the constant practice of the commonwealth of the Jews, a man was prohibited not to marry his wife's sister only during her life; after he might—so the text is. This perhaps is a knot not easily untied, how the Levitical degrees are God's law in this kingdom, but not as they were in the commonwealth of Israel, when first given."—Chief Justice Vaughan, and all the other Judges of England (1670).
