On reading this Bill again considering that all the Dissen-
ters from the Church of England are by this Act to publish
their Banns according to the Rubrick of the Church of Eng-
land we think it just and highly necessary that a Proviso be
added to this Act that nothing therein contained shall extend
to debar any Dissenters or other Persons not being of the
Communion of the Church of England they being white
Persons from publishing contracting and Solemnizing Matri-
mony among themselves as they usually did any Thing in
this Act to the contrary notwithstanding; and pray your
Honours Concurrence.
