their true definition in that law. The term parish
says Jacobs did anciently signify what we now call the
diocese Of Bishop but this day it the circuit OF
ground in which the people who belong TO any church
do inhabt and the particular charge OF secular priest
The circuit of ground therefore embraced in the whole
City OF New-York originally the parish OF trinity
Church The Grant made by Queen Anne was given on
the petition of the Rector and inhabitants OF the City OF
New.York in communion OF the Church of England, as
bv law established and was granted to the petitioners,
by that title and description and their successors forever
Who are such SUCCESSORS is the great question The
whole property OF the Church which is now source OF
revenue was contained in Queen Annes Grant
