To meet each others nat'rall Counterpart,

And, are by sacred Ordinance united:

They then have entred that strict Obligation,

By which they, firmely, ev'ry way are ty'd;

And, without meanes (or thought of separation)

Should in that Vnion, till their Deaths, abide;

This, therefore, minde thou, whatsoere thou be

(Whose Marriage-ring, this Covenant, hath sealed)

For, though, thy Faith's infringement, none can see,

Thy secret fault, shall one day, be revealed.
