1. There was a betrothal between the two parties A. (standing for Lord Fylingdale) and B. (standing for Molly).
2. It is not denied that a private marriage had been agreed upon by both parties.
3. The marriage was to take place on a certain morning at the time of six at a certain church. B. undertook to wear a certain pink silk cloak with a hood drawn over her head, and a domino to conceal her face, so that the people of the town should not recognise her and crowd into the church.
4. At the appointed hour of six A. presented himself at the church.
5. At the same hour a woman also presented herself dressed as had been arranged, wearing a domino to prevent recognition in the street, and a cloak of pink silk with a hood.
6. The marriage ceremony was performed by a clergyman in due form and on the production of a licence by A.
7. The marriage was duly entered in the register and signed, the woman signing in the name of B.
8. There was present at the wedding, besides the clergyman, the parish clerk, who gave away the bride, read the responses, and signed as witness.
9. Part of the ceremony, including the essential words, was witnessed by one John Pentecrosse, mate of The Lady of Lynn.
10. Since A. had no reason to suppose that B. would not keep her promise, it would seem impossible for him to have found at the last moment some other woman to personate B.
