Forasmuch as the said Acts be beneficial and profitable for the Commonwealth of this Realm: Be it therefore enacted by authority of this present Parliament that the said Acts and every of them and all clauses articles and provisions therein contained shall from henceforth be observed and kept and continue and endure unto the last day of the next parliament.

And that every such limitation appointment nomination and assignment to be made by the King's Highness in that behalf by authority of this present Act during the space of the said other three years next after the first day of this present Parliament
