As likewi&s;e, that no Heretor or other lyable in payment of any part of the Mini&s;ters Stipend make payment to any Mini&s;ter who have contraveened the fore&s;aid Act of Parliament forkeeping the anniver&s;ary Thank&s;giving, of any part of this years Stipend. And de|clares, That the Mini&s;ters who have contraveened the &s;aid Act, &s;hall be lyable to the whole pains therein contained.
