thereof; and upon such Survey and Examination found
<

</

that the said Chapel, being a very antient Structure,
<

</

is by Length of Time greatly decayed, the Walls Part
<
lb

</

bulged, the Timbers rotted and broke, and the

</

Roof so much sunk, that it has been, for some

</

Time, shored and cramped, and is now become

</

dangerous, and so far ruinous, that it will be
<
lb

</
lb

necessary to take down the same; and that the
<
lb

</
lb

said Chapel is very small, being only Fifty three
<

</
lb

Feet in Length, and Twenty Six Feet in Breadth:

and upon an Estimate and Computation of the

Expence thereof by us made, the Charge of taking
