to_o prevent_v pretence_n of_o marriage_n for_o if_o marriage_n be_v not_o public_a but_o private_o huddle_v up_o some_o may_v pretend_v marriage_n and_o live_v together_o as_o man_n and_o wife_n in_o

be_v public_a and_o in_o a_o public_a place_n as_o here_o it_o be_v and_o as_o now_o by_o our_o law_n we_o be_v bind_v thereto_o and_o avoid_v private_a make_n of_o marriage_n and_o in_o corner_n for_o they_o be_v often_o make_v in_o haste_n and_o end_v unhappy_o second_o that_o marriage_n in_o old_a time_n be_v only_o a_o civil_a action_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o minister_n to_o make_v it_o it_o be_v lawful_o and_o sufficient_o do_v when_o it_o be_v make_v open_o by_o such_o as_o may_v marry_v among_o the_o people_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o marriage_n of_o isaac_n of_o jacob_n esau_n samson_n which_o confute_v the_o papist_n that_o make_v marriage_n a_o sacrament_n as_o if_o marriage_n be_v only_o lawful_a in_o the_o church_n and_o not_o among_o the_o very_a heathen_a when_o yet_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v common_a to_o all_o mankind_n and_o allow_v to_o all_o sort_n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o do_v make_v such_o marriage_n lawful_a only_a when_o minister_n make_v they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o with_o a_o papistical_a opinion_n of_o a_o sacrament_n nor_o for_o that_o our_o church_n condemn_v marriage_n otherwise_o make_v in_o other_o nation_n as_o unlawful_a but_o the_o church_n and_o state_n have_v so_o ordain_v for_o the_o great_a reverence_n to_o god_n ordinance_n when_o his_o minister_n shall_v bless_v the_o same_o in_o the_o
