III. Rule. The wives kinsman by blood, is of affinity to her husband only; but unto his kindred by blood, the said kinsman hath no affinity at all. So ⟨p. 48⟩on the contrary it is true, that though the husbands kinsman by blood, be allied to his wife, yet he hath no alliance to those that are kinsmen of blood unto her. The reason is, because between the kindred of blood on the mans side, and the kindred of blood on the woman's side, there is no affinity. For the prohibition of the degrees of affinity, hath force in those only which are the cause thereof, and goeth no further. Now the cause being only in the married persons themselves, the effect may not in reason be enlarged, to them that are of the same blood with either of them.
III. Rule. The wiues kinsman by blood, is of affinitie to her husband only; but vnto his kindred by blood, the said kinsman hath no affinitie at all. So ⟨p. 48⟩on the contrarie it is true, that though the husbands kinsman by blood, be allied to his wife, yet he hath no alliance to those that are kinsmen of blood vnto her. The reason is, because betweene the kindred of blood on the mans side, and the kindred of blood on the womans side, there is no affinitie. For the prohibition of the degrees of affinitie, hath force in those only which are the cause thereof, and goeth no further. Now the cause being only in the married persons themselues, the effect may not in reason be enlarged, to them that are of the same blood with either of them.
From this rule it followeth, that the kindred of both married persons by blood, may lawfully match together. The son in law, may match with the daughter of his mother in law. The father and the son by another wife, may marry the mother and the daughter. Two brothers may lawfully match with two sisters.
