London Printed for Will: Lee at if Turk's head in Fleetstreet over against Fetter-lane  
FIrst, that they contract not with such persons as be hereafter expressed, nor with any of like degree, against the Law of God, and the Laws of the Realm.  
Secondly, that they make no secret contracts, without consent or counsel of their Parents or Elders, under whose authority they be, contrary to God's Laws and man's Ordinances.  
Thirdly, that they contract not anew with any other upon divorce and separation made by the judge for a time, the Laws yet standing to the contrary.  
MArriage is honourable among all men, and the bed undefiled. But whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.  Heb. 13. 4. 
To avoid fornication, let every man have his wife, and let every woman have her husband. He that cannot contain, let him marry: For better it is to marry then to burn.  1 Cor. 7. 2, 9 
Unto the married I command, not I, but the Lord: Let not the wife depart from her husband. But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband. And let not the Husband put away his Wife.  1 Cor. 7. 10, 11. 
None shall come near to anv of the kindred of his flesh to uncover her shame: I am the Lord.  Levit. 18. 6.

1. IT is to be noted, that those persons which be in the direct line ascendent and descendent, cannot marry together, although they be never so fare asunder in degree.  
2. It is also to be noted, that consanguinity and affinity (letting and dissolving Matrimony) is contracted as well in them and by them which be of kindred by the one side, as in and by them which be of kindred by both sides.  
3. Item, that by the Laws, consanguinity and affinity (letting and dissolving Matrimony) is contracted as well by unlawful company of man and woman, as by lawful marriage.  
4. Item, in contracting betwixt persons doubtful, which be not expressed in this Table, it is most sure, first to consult with men learned in the Laws, to understand what is lawful, what is honest and expedient, before the finishing of their contracts.  
5. Item, that no Parson, Vicar, or Curate, shall solemnize Matrimony out of his or their Cure, or Parish-Church or Chapel, and shall not solemnize the same in private houses, nor lawless or exempt Churches, under the pains of the Law forbidding the same. And that the Curate have their Certificates, when the parties dwell in divers Parishes.  
6. Item, the banns of Matrimony ought to be openly denounced in the Church by the Minister, three several Sundays or Festival days, to the end that who will and can allege any impediment, may be heard, and that stay may be made till further trial, if any exception be made there against it upon sufficient caution.  
7. Item, who shall maliciously object a frivolous impediment against a lawful Matrimony to disturb the same, is subject to the 〈…〉  
8. Item, who shall presume to contract in the degrees prohibited (though he do it ignorantly) besides that the fruit of such copulation may be judged unlawful, is also punishable at the Ordinaries discretion.  
9 Item, if any Minister shall conjoin any such, or shall be present at such contracts making, he ought to be suspended from his Ministry for three years: and otherwise to be punished according to the Laws.  
10. Item, it is further ordained, that no Parson, Vicar or Curate do preach, treat, or expound, of his own voluntary invention, any matter of controversy in the Scriptures, if he be under the degree of a Master of Art, except he be licenced by his Ordinary thereunto, but only for the instruction of the people, read the Homilies already set forth, and such other form of doctrine as shall be hereafter by authority published: and shall not innovate or alter any thing in the Church, or use any old Rite or Ceremony, which be not set forth by public authority.
