we_o need_v to_o stand_v upon_o the_o term_n of_o a_o minister_n agency_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o solemn_a action_n there_o be_v those_o in_o these_o wild_a time_n that_o have_v hold_v

not_o be_v amiss_o that_o man_n and_o woman_n shall_v upon_o their_o mutual_a agreement_n couple_v themselves_o together_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o brute_n creature_n and_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o marriage_n but_o mere_a civility_n the_o magistrate_n may_v be_v meet_a to_o be_v employ_v in_o this_o service_n but_o now_o that_o we_o christian_n know_v matrimony_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a institution_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o he_o not_o only_o ordain_v but_o actual_o celebrate_v betwixt_o the_o first_o innocent_a pair_n and_o which_o be_v for_o the_o propagation_n of_o a_o holy_a seed_n require_v a_o special_a benediction_n how_o can_v we_o in_o reason_n think_v any_o man_n meet_v for_o this_o office_n but_o the_o man_n of_o god_n set_v over_o we_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o derive_v the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n upon_o our_o head_n from_o hence_o therefore_o have_v our_o wholesome_a law_n take_v a_o just_a hint_n to_o appropriate_v this_o service_n to_o a_o lawful_a minister_n only_o so_o as_o what_o ever_o private_a contract_n may_v be_v transact_v in_o corner_n betwixt_o the_o party_n affect_v to_o each_o other_o yet_o the_o marriage_n knot_n can_v be_v public_o quit_v by_o any_o other_o hand_n than_o god_n minister_n and_o herein_o certain_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o bless_v the_o wisdom_n both_o of_o the_o church_n and_o state_n which_o have_v so_o regulate_v these_o matrimonial_a affair_n as_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o orderly_o but_o safe_o manage_v for_o doubtless_o be_v not_o this_o provision_n careful_o make_v the_o world_n will_v be_v quite_o overrun_v with_o beastliness_n and_o horrible_a confusion_n and_o in_o this_o point_n we_o may_v well_o give_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n her_o due_a &_o acknowledge_v the_o wise_a care_n of_o she_o lateran_n and_o tridentine_n counsel_n which_o have_v enact_v so_o strict_a decree_n against_o clandestine_v marriage_n and_o have_v take_v so_o severe_a a_o course_n for_o the_o reform_n of_o many_o foul_a disorder_n in_o these_o matrimonial_a proceed_n as_o may_v be_v of_o good_a use_n for_o the_o christian_a world_n have_v they_o do_v the_o like_a in_o other_o case_n their_o light_n have_v not_o go_v out_o in_o a_o snuff_n as_o therefore_o it_o be_v general_o both_o decree_v and_o observe_v not_o without_o excellent_a reason_n in_o all_o christian_a church_n that_o marriage_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v in_o the_o public_a congregation_n of_o god_n people_n so_o it_o can_v but_o be_v requisite_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v by_o he_o who_o be_v
