Clerks are likewise forbidden to cohabit with strange Women, and to follow Usury; Witchcraft is condemned; and Marriages are prohibited between Relations to the seventh De∣gree; but it is declar'd, that Husbands, who endeavour to get their Wives divorced, under pre∣tence of Consanguinity, are not allow'd to make proof of it by Witnesses.
