the particular direction of a late act of parliament for the better maintenance of curates.

XI. That in licenses to be granted to persons to serve any cure, you cause to be inserted, after the mention of the particular cure provided for by such license, a clause 5 to this effect," or in any other parish within the diocese, to which such curate shall remove with the consent of the bishop."

XII. That you take care, as much as is possible, that whosoever is admitted to serve any cure, do reside in the 10 parish, where he is to serve, especially in livings, that are able to support a resident curate; and where that cannot be done, that they do at least reside so near to the place, that they may conveniently perform all their duties both in the church and parish.

These, my lord, were the orders and resolutions, to which we all agreed, and which I do hereby transmit to you; desiring you to communicate them to the clergy of your diocese, with an assurance, that you are resolved, by the grace of God, to direct your practice in these ticulars agreeably thereunto. And so commending you to the blessing of God in these, and all your other pious endeavours for the service of his church, I heartily remain,

My very good lord,

Your truly affectionate brother,
