the said
Act considerable Sums
of
Money have been expended, and a large Debt
hath been contracted, which now remains due and owing, and the Income
arising under and by virtue
of
the said Act is insufficient for the Purposes
thereof: And whereas the Powers and Provisions of the said Act have
been found in many respects defective and insufficient, and
it
is therefore
expedient that the same should be amended and enlarged, and that the
Rates thereby granted should be varied and increased, but the same can-
not be effected without the Authority of Parliament
:
May
it
therefore
please
Your
Majesty that it may be enacted
;
and be
it
enacted by the
King’s
most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of
the
Lords
Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parlia-
ment assembled, and by the Authority
of
the same, That upon the Second
Friday
next after the passing
of
this Act, the said recited Act shall be
and the same
is
hereby declared
to
be repealed
