LXVInquiry into Hospitals which were Promotions Spiritual in the Reign of King Henry the Eighth.
And be it enacted, That so soon as conveniently may be the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England shall inquire, and report to Her Majesty in Council, respecting the State of all such Hospitals as were returned as Promotions Spiritual in the Reign of King Henry the Eighth ; and in those Cases in which it may appear, upon such Inquiry, that the Endowments of such Hospitals are capable, after satisfying the Objects of the Founder's Bounty, of affording a better Provision for the Cure of Souls in the Parishes with which they are connected, the said Commissioners may in their Report make such Suggestions as they may deem advisable for effecting such Provision.
