pieafed to tell me, that I have notaj
tended to the firil claufe of the a6l tj
the augmentation of c jracies ; that ij
fuch hadlL ps as 1 have defcribed cj
happtn under our preft-nt wife and 1
qnit-ible hierarchy. To the iliogitj
le^dbning of this writer I fhall onlyij
ply, that fuch hardfliips aduaHy extji
1 have as iii^;h an opinion as a
one of our prefent ecclcfi ftica! go»
nors; but, at the f^me time, I.j]
forry that it ftiould be in the povvef,-j
any jutitre diocefan to lay an inf
portable burden on a poor incutnb6i|
It will be faid, that a bifhop'
have no motive for the improper ap|
c»:tUin of the ai'l. In anfwtr tdlj
objedlion it nrisy, be oblerved, tj
evt-ry m.an is frequently afluateiT
iliange and unaccountable mol^J
In the prefcot cafe, however, thete'i
fome obvious c- nridcration"i
may have tiieir iffca. The a£t foifJ
augmentation of curacies is a ptj^j
meafuie; and the appciiitment o|'l
