ecclesiastical or civil, or of any public company, for the nomination,
election, appointment, swearing in, or admission of any officer or officers,
or for the transaction of any other secular affair of such vestry,
corporation, or company, and every other meeting of a public and secular
nature, which, according to any Act of Parliament, or according to any
charter, grant, constitution, deed, testament, law, prescription, or usage
whatsoever, is or shall be required to be held on any Lord's day, or on any
day which shall happen to be on a Lord's day, shall be held on the Saturday
next preceding or on the Monday next ensuing, at the like hour, with like form
and effect, as if the same had been held on such Lord's day; and every matter
transacted at any such meeting or adjourned meeting held upon any Lord's day
shall be absolutely void and of none effect, to all intents and purposes

have expired on any such Lord's day, shall continue in office, and exercise
and enjoy all the powers and privileges annexed or relating to such office,
until and on such Monday next ensuing, in the same manner as if such Monday
