An Admonition to all such as shall intend hereafter to enter the state of Matrimony , godlily and agreeably to Lawes .

FIrst , that they contract not with such persons as be hereafter expressed , nor with any of like degree , against the law of God , and the lawes of the Realme .

Secondly , that they make no secret contracts , without consent or counsell of their Parents or Elders , under whose authority they be : contrary to Gods lawes and mans ordinances .

Thirdly , that they contract not anew with any other upon divorce and separation made by the Iudge for a time , the Lawes yet standing to the contrary .

MArriage is honourable among all men , and the bed undefiled . But whoremongers and adulterers God will iudge . Heb. 13.

To avoyd fornication let every man have his wife , and let every woman have her husband . He that cannot containe , let him marry : For better it is to marry , than to burne . 1 Cor. 7.

Vnto the married I command , not I , but the Lord ; let not the wife depart from her husband . But if she depart , let her remain unmarried , or he reconcited unto her husband . And let not the Husband put away his 〈◊〉

LEVITICVS . XVIII . & XX.

None shall come neere to any of the kinred of his flesh to uncover her shame : I am the Lord .
