ANSWER.

• Article I. Such as having been once married, be they Men or Women, tho' their Parents be living, shall nevertheless have full power and liberty to remarry themselves, provided they be in Age, as was declared in the first Article of the first Order, viz. The Son if he have his Twentieth, and the Daughter her Eighteenth Year, provided that they were emancipated as from under their Fathers Authority, so from his House and Family, and kept House by themselves apart. Yet it would be always a most decent thing if those Children would be advised by their Fathers in their second Marriages.
• Article II. Let all Promises of Marriage be made decently, and in the fear of God, not in Dissolution, nor lightly over a Glass of Wine, as if they were only to drink together, but with all possible seriousness, after they have well considered of it, and are perfectly agreed about it: and in case any should do otherwise let them be chastised. And in case the Minister de∣clareth that he was surprized, let the Marriage be dissolved.
• Article III. If a Man should Sue a Woman at Law, alledging, that she promised to Marry him, unless there were two Witnesses, Persons of Credit and Godliness to attest it, let the Oath of God be tendered to the Defendant, and in case she deny it, let her be absolved.
