Boaz and Ruth. A disquisition upon Deut 25. 5. concerning the brothers propagating the name and memory of his elder brother deceased. In which the antiquity, reason, and circumstances of that law are explained, the mistakes and impositions of the Jewish rabbins, in this and other matters detected, and a fair way opened for a clearer understanding of the most obscure and dark passages in the law of Moses. Together with a discovery of several things, as well in the eastern, as the Roman antiquities, never yet explained or understood by any. By John Turner, hospitaller of St. Thomas Southwark, and late fellow of Christs-College in Cambridge.
