1Here Anne and Nicholas are brother and sister, and Anne is distant from James six degrees, he being her niece far off: and the marriage between them is allowed by the Church of Rome, they not being within the compass of four degrees: which nevertheless is against the law of nature. For Anne being the sister of Nicholas, is in stead of a mother to all that are begotten of Nicholas, even to James and James posterity. Yet thus much I grant, that the daughter of Anne may lawfully marry James or Anthony, the case ⟨p. 1016⟩being altered, because they are not one to an other a• parents and children.

The fourth sin is Magic, sorcery, or witchcraft, in the consecration of the host in which they make their Breaden-god: in exorcisms over holy bread, holy water and salt; in the casting out or driving away of devils, by the sign of the cross, by solemn conjurations, by holy water, by the ringing of bells, by lighting tapers, by relics, and such like. For these things have not their supposed force, either by creation, or by any institution of God in his holy word: and therefore if any thing be done by them, it is from the secret operation of the devil himself.
