(Names of parties to intended marriage.)
have determined to enter into the holy estate of matrimony, and are
desirous of having their marriage publicly solemnized; in order that such
their honest desires may the more speedily have due effect, and that they
may be able to procure the same to be lawfully solemnized without
publication of banns, I do hereby, for good causes, give and grant this
license and faculty, as well to them the said parties contracting as to all
or every minister or clergyman resident in the Dominion of Canada and
duly ordained or appointed according to the rites and ceremonies of the
church or denomination to which he belongs, to solemnize and perform the
same: Provided always, that by reason of any affinity, consanguinity,
prior marriage, or any other lawful cause, there be no legal impediment
in this behalf; otherwise if any fraud shall appear to have been committed
at the time of granting this license, either by false suggestion or
concealment of the truth, that then this license shall be null and void to
all intents and purposes whatsoever.
