to this house be from henceforth sett a part for buriall of the said
Patients and that all such Corps be laid and interred in Coffins
and not buried without as formerly has bin used.

Dovers house demolished

inhabited by Thomas Dover< no role > and designed to be built when the Parish
Church of St. Thomas is rebuilt it Partly adjoyning thereunto and
may be fitt for building an house upon for the Minister of the Parish

Parish church to be
Pul'd downe

St Thomas Church

And we do further certifie that the Parish church of St. Thomas is
in great danger of falling so that we are of opinion if is the best
and safest way forthwith to pull the same downe and untill
monies can be raise pursuant to a clause in a late Act of
Parliament for the rebuilding thereof that provision be made for
the use of the inhabitants of the said Parish in the meane time for
their meeting for the Worship of God in the best manner the Governours
can find out.

And we do also further certify that the Peice of Ground used for the
burying Place for Patients at the backend of the Hospitall being no
longer to be so imploied and another Place is provided for it
as aforesaid We are of opinion that Wards may be most
conveniently built on some Part of the said old burying place
for foule Patients it being most remote from all the other Wards
of the house and when that is finished that the Wards now
used for them be demolished And that all orders made for
the Prohibiting the taking into this house of any of the foule
disease be repealed.

A table of Benefactors
to be sett up

And not further offer it as our opinions That a table or tables be
made and hung up in the new hall containing (in Golden letters) the
