Summary
Ministers.
First, whereas there is fault found with the number of wandering and insufficient ministers, it is thought fit that none already made be admitted to any cure hereafter without diligent examination of the bishop for his learning, and without substantial testimonial of his good life and behaviour, whereof a record to be kept in the registry. And that none between this and the next parliament be admitted to the ministry except he shall be a bachelor of arts at the least of one of the universities of this realm.
Marriages.
That in the form already devised for licences of marriage by the lord archbishop it is added that all marriages be solemnized in the parish church of one of the parties between the hours of seven and twelve of the clock in the forenoon, by the minister of the same parish. And that all other bishops of this province shall follow the same form.
Consent of parents.
It is convenient that the consent of the parents and the governors be had in writing of such young persons to be married as be under the age of twenty-one years, and that also with the consent of the bishop of the diocese. And if the persons to be married be above that age, it is sufficiently provided already by the bond that is now used.
Citation viis et modis.
The citation viis et modis not to be awarded in any cause without a primary citation first had and returned before. And that in causes of office, the citation viis et modis be upon some Sunday or holiday affixed upon the door of the parish church or chapel, a little before the beginning of divine service, or at some other time upon the door of the usual house where the party to be cited doth dwell with his family. The same citation, or a true copy thereof, to be left there during the time of divine service, or some good part thereof.
