106        OF DESCENT.

" so in what degree either of them are distant
" from the common stock, in the same degree
" they are distant between themselves:  and if
" they be not equally distant, then we must observe 
" another rule; in what degree the most remote
" is distant from the common stock, in
" the same degree they are distant between
" themselves, and so the most remote maketh 
" the degree."
 
    The different manner of calculating the degrees,
may be better understood from the following
table, which I have taken from Burn,
because less intricate than Coke's, Hale's, Blackstone's,
or any other I have met with.  The
numeral letters at the top, express the degrees
by the civil law, used in regard to personal estates;
and the figures at the bottom, express
the degrees by the canon law, used in regard to
lands.
