Help with Latin? word from 1711 marriage allegation COMPLETED, WITH THANKS

[Viktoria]

Dei perhaps God,— Ob perhaps short for in the sight -observing - sight (of God, )those words are in the marriage ceremony in one form or another.
“ Dearly beloved,we are gathered together here in the sight of God “
Viktoria.

Thanks for your suggestion, Viktoria

In this context Ob definitely stands for the Latin Obligatus, meaning 'is bound'.

I'm still uncertain about the word before Power.

[oldtimer]

Thank you BookBox.  I find it strange that the writer has only used Power's surname and not his Christian name.  That's why I originally thought it was a name that had been Latinized.

[Bookbox]

The second word is d(i)c(t)us, so ...

Ob(ligatus) d(i)c(t)us Power Whitesmith = 'The said Power, whitesmith, was bound'.

Oh brilliant!  Thank you very much BookBox. Your help is really appreciated.

Thanks also to horselydown 86, MollyC and Viktoria for your interest in it too.
