C Incest.
Incest is where a man and a woman who
are too nearly related to be allowed to intermarry
by reason of their relationship are prohibited from intermarrying
have voluntarily carnal knowledge of each other. See the
Table of the degrees of Relationship.
There does not seem to be any occasion for
punishing impurities of this kind. In general people
have little inclination to be guilty of them; and if by
chance a person should feel an inclination of this
sort the censure of the world will in general be
strong enough to [suppress it] stifle it in it's birth.
