The second signe, is, the iust & lawf•ll distance of blood.
Distance of blood is then just and lawful, when neither of the persons ⟨p. 25⟩that are to be married, do come near to the kindred of their flesh, or to the flesh of their flesh, for so the Scripture speaketh, Levit 18. 6. No man shall come near to any of the flesh of his flesh: or to the *kindred of his flesh. Where it is to be observed, that by a mans flesh is meant that substance which is of himself, or whereof himself consisteth.

Whereupon it followeth, that the touching or coming near of flesh to flesh, is not spoken of strangers, but of those only that are of kindred.
