Aha! Got it. The 1559 marriage ceremony, that is: http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1559/Marriage_1559.htm More information on this version of the BCP here: http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1559/BCP_1559.htm. It thus seems safe to assume, does it not, that this was the rite that would have been used for the Rolfes' marriage? By way of comparison, the 1552 version is here: http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/1552/Marriage_1552.htm And, again, the 1662 version, which I believe was used with little or no change for more than 3 centuries, is here: http://www.eskimo.com/~lhowell/bcp1662/occasion/marriage.html Hope this is helpful. --Jurretta To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
