The Fourth DECREE.

IT is Queried, What distance of time is there to be observed between the Promise of Marriage and its Performance?

ANSWER.

Article I. The Accomplishment of Marriage shall not be deferr'd above six Weeks after the Promise of it. And in case the Parties shall delay be∣yond that time, they shall be called into the Consistory, and be admo∣nished to fulfil the Marriage, and if they be disobedient to these Counsels, they shall be dismissed over to the Civil Magistrate, who may, if he please compel them to celebrate it.
Article II. In case the Marriage should be opposed, the Minister shall refer the Party opposing unto the Consistory, and require him to appear at the next Consistorial Sessions. However let no Person be admitted to make any Op∣position, unless he live in Town, or be very well known, or that he bring with him a known Person of his Acquaintance, that so an honest Maid may not be blemished in her Reputation.
Article III. And if the Oponent should not appear at the Day appointed, the Banes of Marriage may then be published, as if there had been no Impe∣diment at all: That so all Frauds, which might otherwise be committed in this Matter may be prevented and avoided.
Article IV. Let no Stranger coming from a Foreign Land be admitted unto Mar∣riage, unless he bring with him good and vallid Certificates, or undoubted Letters of Credit, or that he have a Testimony from Godly Persons here upon the Place, who will attest for him, that he hath not a Wife elsewhere.
