5. The clear income of the Charity after deduction of all reasonable expenses relating to the management of the Charity shall be applied as follows:

(2) to advance the education of those clergy who are incumbents of benefices of which the College is Patron and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing to make payments for the provision of books and equipment for the said incumbents so as to facilitate their parochial work, and subject thereto,
(3) to make payments towards the repair and maintenance of those churches which are situate in benefices of which the College is the Patron.
