Order Respecting the Interest of the Money Contributed for the

Repairs of Peel Cathedral.
A.D. 1691.
EPISCOPAL REGISTRY.
W
HEREAS by my
former

Order
bearing date the 18th day of Octob
r
1686, I did

direct and appoint that the summ of fourty three pounds nineteen

shillings and ten pence w
ch
was allow’d for the

repairs of the Chancell of the decay’d . Cathedrall Church in

Peele Castle within my Isle of Mann shall . remain deposited in the

hands of ye R
t
Revnd Father in God Baptist L
d
B
p
of my said Isle, untill it should please God to

raise some good Instruments and Benefactors to contribute towards ye

repairing of the whole Body of the said Cathedrall (the

parishion
rs
who are obliged to do the same being

altogether unable to contribute to ye s
d
work) or untill

such time as some good law shall be made in my said Island for the

demolishing of the said Cathedrall and the repairing and enlarging of

St. Peters Chappel at Peele Town with the materials thereoff &c.

And now forasimuch as the sade summ of fourty three pounds nineteen

shillings and ten pence lies still deposited in the L
d
B
pp
hands, being no way imployed or laid out by him since

the receipt thereoff ; And also for that there is nothing expressly

mentioned in my said Order, whereby his Lo
PP
is freed and

discharged from paying any Interest out of the said money whilst it

so remains deposited in his hands, w
ch
notwithstanding was

intended and intimated by my said Order ; yet for the said

L
d
B
pp
further satisfaction in that particular,

I do . hereby Order and declare that no Interest is to be paid or

answered for by the
s
d
L
d
B
pp
out of the said money, neither for the time past or to

come, Whiles the same doth continue and remain in the said Bps hands,

in regard that he makes no advantage thereoff as aforesaid. And it is

my will and pleasure, and I do further Order and declare, that if ye

said L
d
B
pp
, and ye Governor of my said Isle

for the time being, shall at any time hereafter find out some

expedient whereby ye said money may be laid out to Interest and well

secured that then it shall be in their power jointly to imploy and

lay out the said money to the best advantage and in the securest

manner they can to their best judgments and discretion, and

w
ch
Interest shall yearly arise or acrew out of the same,

that it go towards the advancing of the said Principall summ ; And

thereupon the said L
d
B
pp
is to be acquitted

and discharged from the same forever afterwards to all intents and

purposes whatsoever, any thing contein’d in my said former Order

to the contrary thereoff notwithstanding.
Given under my hand and Seale at
