Extract

In 1715 the governors of Queen Anne’s Bounty promoted a bill in parliament ‘for making more effectual her late Majesty’s gracious intentions for augmenting the maintenance of the poor clergy’. Section four of this statute declared that the bounty had been ‘intended to extend not only to parsons and vicars who come in by presentation or collation, institution and induction; but likewise to such ministers who come in by donation, or are only stipendiary preachers or curates’.
