There is a comment in the article that "The author who avoids irony adds a touch of it with this quoteItalic text, as the Book of Common Prayer came after Henry VIII split from the Roman Catholic church that dominated in the 12th Century, the setting of the novel." The quotation in English does indeed derive from the BCP; but the BCP here leans on the Sarum Rite of the Catholic Church in England - that same one which 'dominated' in the 12th century - so perhaps the irony is more that this article seem unaware of that!
The Latin can be found on page 265 of the 14th century Liber pontificalis of Edmund Lacy, Bishop of Exeter, in the edition by Ralph Barnes of Exeter (page 288 in the Internet Archive digitised edition): see https://archive.org/stream/liberpontificali00barnuoft#page/n287/mode/2up
"Deus qui tam excellenti mysterio coniugalem copulam consecrasti, vt Christi & Ecclesiæ sacramentum præsignares in fœdere nuptiarum."
Before amending the article to reflect this, I'm putting this on the talk page for any feedback. David Aldred ( talk) 22:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Prairieplant - perhaps just add the note that the BCP translated directly from the Latin texts of the time? That would perhaps balance the suggestion of irony through anachronism, or any suggestion that the BCP was a novelty. David Aldred ( talk) 14:24, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
