have license, to publish bans, or to have
magistrate or witnesses, or any other
form of solemniZation whatever. So
parties will govern themselves accord

carried his kit in a pack very similar

now being tried it is packed III two

in shape, made of a kind of cloth, and
suspended partly from a belt, partly
from braces, in such manner that the
weight is divided between the Shout
ders and the hips.
