T. Gilburt on Clandestine Marriages

By W. F.

I have a MS. against the validity of clandestine marriages, dated from Oxford, June 23rd, 1682, signed T. Gilburt. It is a learned and argumentative treatise on this subject. It is entitled: "An Argument against the Validitie of Clandestine Marriages in the Sight of God. Sent with a Letter to a person of Qualitie desiring my Judgment in ye case wherein he was too nearly concerned." I am anxious to know who this T. Gilburt may have been.
