CONFORMITY.
This Article having something in it of the Nature of the former, it is with great Justice the Rules of our Na∣tional Synods refer it to the Magistrate, without whose Authority they will not have us proceed in our Churches to the Celebration of such Marriages as are now treated of; see here how the National Synod of Charanton in the year 1644, cleared up the Article, The betrothed may not marry the Mother of the betrothed, defunct, unless it be so that the Magistrate has authoris'd it by his Order, which shall be known as well by the Pastor, as by the Parties con∣tracting, which is so much the more reasonable, as that the Laws of Emperors formerly prohibited such Marriages.
