or else hereafter for ever hold his peace. ¶ And also, speaking unto the persons that are to be married, he shall say, I REQUIRE and charge you both, (as you will answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed,) that if either of you know any impediment why you may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, you do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that so many as are coupled together otherwise than God's word doth allow, are not joined together by God; neither is their Matrimony lawful. The Man shall then say in the presence of the Registrar and two Witnesses, Do solemnly declare, that I know A. B.,* may not be joined * The Man. in Matrimony to C. D. †The Woman. ¶ In like manner the Woman shall say, in the presence of the same persons, I Do solemnly declare, that I know not of any lawful impediment, why I, C. D.,* may not be joined The Woman. in Matrimony to A. B. * + The Man. N.B. The names of the persons to be married must be repeated as they stand upon the Licence or Certificate. ¶ If no impediment be alleged, then shall the Minister say unto the Man, A. B. WILT thou thou have this Woman to thy wedded Wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live? The Man shall answer, I WILL. ¶ Then shall the Minister say unto the Woman, C. D. WILT WILT thou have this Man to thy wedded Husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou obey him, serve him, love, honour, and keep him, in sickness, and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?
