Enactment is made since the curate, through negligence in time of marriage does not cause the persons being married to give part of devotion to their patron St Nicholas, as is customary, which amounts to only 3 s in this past year, where it should have been more than 20 or 30 s. The poorest person that is married should pay 4 d; craftsmen, 8 d; all others at their own discretion. Whatever person is married by the curate, or his deputies, shall answer to the master of work.
