The Earl of Clarendon.
"There was a growing conviction that these marriages were not contrary to the Divine law, and he trusted the day was not far distant when their lordships, in their wisdom and justice, would consider that the persons who contracted these marriages should not be treated by the civil law as transgressors, and that their children should not be visited with civil disabilities."—Speech of Lord Clarendon.
