Upon Perusall of the Grant to the Governor : of

Although the Church be made Parockiall, Yet by
that Grant his Indowed with all the Priviledges
of a Free Chappell, and is Really A Free Chappell
in the Strickett Sence, being Exempted from the
Jurisdiction of the Ordinary in Express Termes
Arch Bishopps Bishopp or Arch deacons. And
therefore I am of Opinion That the Ordinary
is Lyable to an Attacchmt: in at the Queens Suite
in case he shall Exercise Jurisdiction therein
having the Priviledge of a Free Chappell.
