Banns to be published in case of marriage of Presbyterians otherwise than by licence.

5. ... in every case in which a marriage shall be proposed to be solemnized by
a Presbyterian minister between two Presbyterians, otherwise than by licence,
banns of matrimony shall be published by or in the presence of a Presbyterian
minister in the Presbyterian meeting house, certified as herein-after is
mentioned, frequented by the congregation of which the parties to be married
shall be members, upon three Sundays preceding the solemnization of the
marriage, during the time of divine service, and any such marriage by a
Presbyterian minister shall be solemnized in such meeting house, and not
elsewhere; and whenever it shall happen that the parties to be married by a
Presbyterian minister shall be members of different congregations the banns
shall in like manner be published in the certified Presbyterian meeting house
frequented by the congregation of which each of the parties to be married
shall be a member; and in every such last-mentioned case of publication of
banns the Presbyterian minister by or in whose presence such banns shall be
published shall, in writing under his hand, certify the publication thereof;
and any such marriage by a Presbyterian minister shall be solemnized in one of
the certified Presbyterian meeting houses where such banns shall have been
published, and in no other place whatsoever; and before such marriage shall be
solemnized the certificate of the Presbyterian minister by whom or in whose
presence the banns shall have been published in the other certified meeting
house shall be delivered to the Presbyterian minister solemnizing such
marriage.
