That the English Church, and the Kirk of Scot- j land include the marriage of a deceased wife's sis-j v ver in the prohibited degrees, as does also the civi i iaws of Great Britain, is a fact too well known torequire any proof here. To add any more under 4 this head, is unnecessary, since it must be obvious i to every reader, from what has been adduced, that-. ;f no respectable christian society on earth toleratts, . i in its members, the formation of a connexion. ? -which, in all ages of the church, has been judged' unlawful, and even unnatural. ; Having occupied so much of the reader' time ..' -with the discussion of this question already, the; : writer does not feel at liberty to extend his resnarks, in the way of appeal to the judgment, of ' Reason, of those who may favor him with their at-.; f " -i tention. He will, therefore, be very brief. J It has been shown, it is hoped, that the prohibit lion of marriage with a sister-in-law, is clearly ol jdivine authority. And if this be admitted, the" question is settled. It should, at leant, be consid-i ered as r:u!f decided against the formation oi such connexions, by-evry member of the Presbylenaii thurch.. The Confession of Faith is the tC-j clesiastical constitution which governs that church,! sis a religious society; anJ no cue can violate any' article of that constitution, and be reckoned a nienfbcr, in good and regular standing, of that so--iciety. If one article of the constitution mnv be-' . i violated with impunity, then may another, and; another; and either justice must be denied its' claim?, or the society be dissolved. Marriage with a sister-in-law, being thus a crime against thej whole society a breach of the social compact 5 and, moreover, an offence against the eonscientious views, and honest feelinsrs of the communi-t ty, no man, who has a due regard to the peace ot'i the church, to the sentiments and spiritual inter-I ests of his christian brethren, and to his own so- i lemn obligations, while he retains his ecclesiastical relation to them, will consider it a light matter? to form such a connexion, or to assist in formingf it. That is a selfish and unchristian spirit, which disregards the grief and offence, resulting to breth-J ren from conduct, which at the same time transgrosses agasnst the religious sentiment, and con-7 Siitutional laws of the church. If even it were ai
.matter of doubtful propriety, the christian should .always keep on the safe side the side of unsuspected decorum, and undoubted law. In this case, there can be no excuse, which does imply a proud contempt of all law, human and divine, when it happens to cross the path of inclination, or the indulgence of inordinate and irregular passion to a degree that blinds the judgment, and withers into inactivity the purer feelings of the soul. View
his matter in what relation we will, if we only view it fairly, weshall perceive that it involves no small amount of sin. The consummation of such a marriage is a transgression of the divine law, an Hence against the rules of the church, a breach of christian charity, a departure from the established usages of civil society, and an injury to the community at large. That it is an injury to the common interests of society will be allowed by any orp. -l" .nc;JerK Iww much the puritv anJ peace of families are preserved by the prevalence of that all but natural sentiment, which regards sisters-in-law as placed within those limits of affinity, over which none may presume to pass, whether in legalized or illicit intercourse, without awakening in him
self a secret horror, and encountering the abhorrence of the intelligent and virtuous portion of mankind. Unless such a sentiment as this generally existed, cithe-r the desirable and endearing "intimacy now subsisting between families, allied by marriage, must cease, or, owing to the frequency and force of temptation, and the opportunities
afforded by the present habits of society, domestic virtue and tranquility would gradually become obsolete, the streams of public order, decorum and prosperity would be poisoned in their source, and society would revert to the brutal baseness of licentiousness and barbarism. Every violation of this salutary sentiment of the public mind tends to enfeeble it, and to produce that state of moral anarchy, which all, except the hackneyed in vice, must deprecate. And shall the man who tram
ples upon this principle of social purity and hap
piness, who prefers the gratification of his passions, or the suggestions of convenience, to the
esteem of the virtuous, the peace of the church, the welfare of the community, and the honor oi
God, be deemed a regular and unoffending mem
"ber of a religious society Or .shall the accredited
minister of Christ, especially if a Presbyterian, who, reckless of his faith, plighted to the church, assists at such a desecration of "the ordinance of
iGod," be reckoned blameless Let the judgment and eonfcCivr.ee of the considerate and upright
reader furnish the reply. E.
