Ornaments rubric, that rubric of the Prayer Book which directs just before the Order for Morning Prayer that--Such Ornaments of the Church, and of the Ministers thereof, at all times of their Ministration shall be retained, and be in use, as were in this Church of England by the Authority of Parliament in the Second Year of the reign of King Edward the Sixth.The meaning of this rubric has been declared by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to be that 'vestments' of ministers as celebrates cannot be worn, though prescribed by the First Prayer Book of Edward the Sixth, which had the authority of the First Act of Uniformity (2 & 3 Edw. 6, c. 1; see Clifton v. Ridsdale, (1877) 2 PD 276; but that judgment has been the subject of much contro-versy. See Whitehead's Church Law, tit. 'Vestments'; Talbot on Ritual; Encyclop'dia of the Laws of England, tit.

Banns of marriage
Banns of marriage. 'Banns' is the plural of 'Bann' or 'Ban,' an edict or prohibition. The Prayer Book of 1662 directed banns of marriage to be published in church 'three several Sundays or Holy Days immediately before the sentences for the offertory' (this was in the Rubric prefixed to the Form of Solemnisation), but also after the Nicene Creed, together with many other notices separated from those sentences by the sermon (this direction was in the Rubric following the Nicene Creed, and the two directions do not seem quite consistent). In 1753 (English) Lord Hardwicke's Act (26 Geo. 2, c. 33), directed publication during morning service, or evening service if there be no morning service, immediately after the Second Lesson; and about 1809 the Rubrics were altered by the king's printers of their own motion to bring them into agreement with Lord Hardwicke's Act, which, however, may possibly have referred in its alteration to the evening service only. The (English) Marriage Act, 1823 (4 G...

Where a marriage in a foreign country complies with these requirements it is immaterial that under the local law dissolution can be obtained by mutual consent or at the will of either party with merely formal conditions of official registration, and it constitutes a valid marriage according to English law, Nachimson v. Nachimson, 1930, P. 217. Previous to 1753 the validity of marriage was regulated by ecclesiastical law, not touched by any statutory nullity but modified by the Common law Courts, which sometimes interfered with the Ecclesiastical Courts, by prohibition, sometimes themselves decide on the validity of a marriage, presuming a marriage in fact as opposed to lawful marriage. A religious ceremony by an ordained clergyman was essential to a lawful marriage, at all events for dower and heirship; but if in an i...
