How? is that, Sir, a lawful impediment? One at once, I pray you Gentlemen. ay, ante copulam, but not post copulam, Sir. Master Parson says right. Nec post nuptiarum benedictionem. It doth indeed but irrita reddere sponsalia, annul the Contract: after Marriage it is of no obstancy. Alas, Sir, what a hope are we fallen from, by this time! The next is conditio: if you thought her free borne, and she prove a bondwoman, there is impediment of estate and condition. ay, but Master Doctor, those servitudes are sublate, now, among us Christians. By your favour, Master Parson— You shall give me leave, Master Doctor. Nay, Gentlemen, quarrel not in that question; it concerns not my case: pass to the third. Well then, the third is votum. If either party have made a vow of Chastity. But that practice, as Master Parson said of the other, is taken away among us, thanks be to discipline. The fourth is cognatio: if the persons be of kin, within the degrees. I: do you know, what the degrees are, Sir? No, nor I care not, Sir: they offer me no comfort in the question, I am sure, But, there is a branch of this impediment may, which is cognatio spiritualis. If you were her Godfather, Sir, than the Marriage is incestuous. That comment is absurd, and superstitious, Master Doctor. I cannot endure it. Are we not all Brothers and Sisters, and as much a kin in that, as Godfathers, and God-daughters? O me! to end the Controversy, I never was a Godfather, I never was a Godfather in my life, Sir. Pass to the next. The sift is crimen adulterij: the known Case. The sixth, cultus disparitas, difference of Religion: have you ever examined her what Religion she is of? No, I would rather she were of none, then be put to the trouble of it! You may have it done for you, Sir. By no means, good Sir, on to the rest: shall you ever come to an end, think you? Yes, he has done half, Sir. (On, to the rest) be patient, and expect, Sir. The seventh is, vis: if it were upon compulsion, or force. O no, it was too voluntary, mine: too voluntary. The eighth is, ordo: if ever she have taken holy Orders. That's superstitious, too. No matter, Master Parson: would she would go into a Nunnery yet. The ninth is, ligamen: if you were bound, Sir, to any other before. I thrust myself too soon into these Fetters. The tenth is, publica honestas: which is inchoata quaedam affinitas. ay, or affinitas orta ex sponsalibus: and is but leave impedimentum. I feel no air of comfort blowing to me, in all this. The eleventh is, affinitas ex fornication. Which is no less vera affinitas, than the other Master Doctor. True, quae oritur ex legitimo matrimonio.

How? is that, Sir, a lawfull impediment? One at once, I pray you Gentlemen. I, ante copulam, but not post copulam, Sir. Maſter Parſon ſayes right. Nec poſt nuptiarum benedictionem. It doth indeed but irrita reddere ſponſalia, annull the Contract: after Marriage it is of no obſtancy. Alas, Sir, what a hope are wee fall'n from, by this time! The next is conditio: if you thought her free borne, and ſhee prooue a bond-woman, there is impediment of eſtate and condition. I, but Maſter Doctor, thoſe ſeruitudes are ſublae, now, among vs Chriſtians. By your fauour, Maſter Parſon— You ſhall giue me leaue, Maſter Doctor. Nay, Gentlemen, quarrell not in that queſtion; it concernes not my caſe: paſſe to the third. Well then, the third is votum. If either partie haue made a vow of Chaſtitie. But that practice, as Maſter Parſon ſaid of the other, is taken away among vs, thankes bee to diſcipline. The fourth is cognatio: if the perſons bee of kinne, within the degrees. I: doe you know, what the degrees are, Sir? No, nor I care not, Sir: they offer me no comfort in the queſtion, I am ſure, But, there is a branch of this impediment may, which is cognatio ſpiritualis. If you were her Godfather, Sir, then the Marriage is inceſtuous. That comment is abſurd, and ſuperſtitious, Maſter Doctor. I cannot endure it. Are wee not all Brothers and Siſters, and as much a kinne in that, as God-fathers, and God-daughters? O me! to end the Controuerſie, I neuer was a Godfather, I neuer was a God-father id my life, Sir. Paſſe to the next. The ſift is crimen adulterij: the knowne Caſe. The ſixt, cultus diſparitas, difference of Religion: haue you euer examin'd her what Religion ſhe is of? No, I would rather ſhee were of none, then bee put to the trouble of it! You may haue it done for you, Sir. By no meanes, good Sir, on to the reſt: ſhall you euer come to an end, thinke you? Yes, he has done halfe, Sir. (On, to the reſt) be patient, and expect, Sir. The ſeuenth is, vis: if it were vpon compulſion, or force. O no, it was too voluntary, mine: too voluntary. The eighth is, ordo: if euer ſhee haue taken holy Orders. That's ſuperſtitious, too. No matter, Maſter Parſon: would ſhe would goe into a Nunnerie yet. The ninth is, ligamen: if you were bound, Sir, to any other before. I thruſt my ſelfe too ſoone into theſe Fetters. The tenth is, publica honestas: which is inchoata quaedam affinitas. I, or affinitas orta ex ſponſalibus: and is but leue impedimentum. I feele no ayre of comfort blowing to mee, in all this. The eleuenth is, affinitas ex fornicatione. Which is no leſſe vera affinitas, then the other Maſter Doctor. True, quae oritur ex legitimo matrimonio.
