Hitherto we haue spoken of alies by nature or by bloud: now of allies by mariage.
* 1.1Alies by marriage, are kinsefolks, of one of the married parties, by reason of the mari∣age contracted betwixt him and the party neare to him in bloud. As Dauid is nothing a kinne vnto Ionathan, but because he mari∣ed the sister of Ionathan to wife, now he is become the kinsman of Ionathan.
