Secondly, That they make no fecret Contracts, without Confent or Counsel of their Parents or Elders, under whofe 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. I.IT is to be noted, That thofe Perfons which be in the direct Line afcendent and defcendent, cannot marry together, although they be never fo far afunder in Degree. II. It is alfo to be noted, That Confanguinity and Affinity (Letting and Diffolving Matrimo ny) is contracted as well in them and by them which be of Kindred by the one fide, as in and by them which be of Kindred by both fides. III. Item, That by the Laws, Confanguinity and Affinity (Letting and Diffolving Matrimony) is contracted as well by unlawful Company of Man and Woman, as by lawful Marriage. IV. Item, In Contracting betwixt Perfons doubtful, which be not expreffed in this Table, it is moft fure, firft to confult with Men learned in the Laws, to understand what is Lawful, what is Honeft and Expedient, before the finifhing of their Contracts. V. Item, That no Parfon, Vicar or Curate, fhall Solemnize Matrimony out of his or their Cure, or Parish-Church or Chapel, and fhall not not Solemnize the fame in Private Houses, nor Lawless and Exempt Churches, under the Pains of the Law forbidding the fame. And that the Curate have their Certificates; when the Parties dwell in divers Parishes. VI. Item, The Banns of Matrimony ought to be openly denounced in the Church by the Minifter three feveral Sundays or Festival-Days, to the end that they who will and can allege any Impediment, may be heard, and that Stay may be made till farther Trial, if any Exception be made there againft it upon fufficient Caution. VIL Item, Who fhall maliciously object a frivolous Impediment, against a lawful Matri mony, to disturb the fame, is fubject to the Pains of the Law. VIII. Item, Who fhall prefume to contrac in the Degrees prohibited (tho' he do it ignorantly) befides that the Fruit of fuch Copulati on may be judged unlawful, is also Punishable at the Ordinary's Difcretion. IX. If any Minifter fhall conjoin any fuch, or fhall be prefent at fuch Contracts making, he ought to be fufpended from his Miniftry for three Years: and otherwife to be punished ac cording to the Laws. None None fhall come near to any of the Kindred of bis Flesh to uncover their Shame: I am the Lord, Levit. 18. 6. A Man may not marry his Secundus gradus in linea recta afcen- Con. Avia. af.
