any persons be joined together otherwise
than as Gods word doeth allow their mar
rage is unlawful, and such marriage is

much TO the same effect, was stricken out, the
prohibition contained in the first being con-
sidered sufficient. Section three stating it
to be the duty of ministers to ndmonish the
people from time TO time, that the church
forbids clandestine marriage, and that pub
lie solemnlzation should not be dispensed
with except for good cause and under special
circumstances, was STRICKEN out and u
