If one of the Parties that desire to be Marryed is Excom∣municated, the Marriage shall not be admitted in the Church unless the Excommunicate Person makes confession of his faults. As for those which are suspended from the Lords Supper, the Consistory may permit them to marry notwith∣standing the suspension, however having good reason for it.
Excommunicate Persons not being looked upon as Members of the Church during the time of Excommu∣nication, it is absolutely necessary they should make publick acknowledgement of their faults, to repair the Scandal they have committed, before one can proceed to Celebrate their Marriage; And I have shewn on the 11th Article of the 11th Chapter, that they were not so much as suffer'd to present a Child to Baptisme.
