ANSWER.
- Article I. There be two Cases in which Promises of Marriage may be re∣scinded when made bewixt Persons capable of them. 1. If upon good Evidence it should appear that the Party married were not a Virgin, tho before Mar∣riage she was taken for granted, and she avowed herself to be one. 2. When one of the Parties is utterly unfit for Generation.
- Article II. The Non-payment of Dowry, or of Portion, or Wedding-Cloaths ought not to hinder the effectual Performance of Marriage-promises, because those things are not of the Essence, but Accidents, and Accessories unto Marriage.
- Article III. Altho' in a Treaty of Marriage and Discourse about it, its lawful e∣nough to add Conditions, or to make a Salvo, that such a one Consenteth. Yet nevertheless, when as the Promises come to be made they shall be pure and plain, nor shall those be reputed Marriage-promises, which are Con∣ditional.
