Sterling and after that of the last 2000 l. Sterling which he remitted since his return An Extract of which Instructions so far as they are fit to be communicated are here inserted An Extract of the Instructions given by Mr. Morland to those whom he intrusted for the Distribution of the collected Moneys among the poor people of the Valleys of Piemont General Articles as touching the Distribution I. THose who have any Estate be it in moveables or otherwise ought not to expect a Gratuity proportionable to their losses For by this means those who yet remained in some tolerable posture of Subsistence after the Invasion would devour the whole or at least the greatest part of that which ought to relieve those who are in most distress II. Those who had almost all their Patrimony in Lands ought to consider that the exemption from Taxes which was granted them could do no less then ease them of a considerable part of their losses and they ought by no means now to pretend to the same proportion with those who had little or no moveables and have beside that been totally ruined The more particular Rules or Articles 1. According to the general Rules abovesaid they shall proceed more particularly and distinguish those who are the most necessitous at present into these three following Ranks 1. Those who had very little or nothing at all before the Massacre 2. Those who had enough tolerably to subsist 3. Those who had some kinde of abundance And thus there shall be established three Classes or Orders namely a Lower a Middle and a Higher placing the first sort in the lowest Rank the second sort in the middle Rank and the last sort in the highest Rank or Classis provided still that there be no departing from the General Rules above-specified and that all possible equity and due proportion be observed amongst the several families thus ranged 2. Touching the Ministers The Ministers shall not pretend any thing of Ordinary Salary or Subsistence from these collected Moneys because they have been paid otherwise by their respective Churches Nevertheless they shall be comprised in the Distribution for the reparation of losses in the same Proposition with others 3. Those who have been absent and had their Subsistence in other Countries Those who have been absent in the time of the Distribution and had their Subsistence in other Countries at the same time shall not pretend any thing from the Distributions heretofore administred 4. Those who have been heretofore administred to in the time of their Sickness The sick who have been heretofore relieved in their sickness with the publique Moneys shall pretend nothing from the former Distributions made forasmuch as they have already received more then their portion in the time of their necessity 5. Those who have been forgotten by neglect Those who have been heretofore forgotten by neglect or otherwise in the time of the said Distributions shall receive at present that which was then their portion provided that there be no other reason of this their not having a divident heretofore then a bare and simple forgetfulness and neglect of them 6. The Wounded The wounded persons shall be distinguished into those who have been maimed and thereby rendred altogether useless and those who have in some maner recovered the use of their Limbs To the first there shall be an especial regard had and the last shall also be ranked in the first and best Classis provided that there be good Evidence of the damage which they have suffered 7. Those who are indebted to the Physician in particular Those who owe any thing to the Physician in particular shall pay the Physician out of their own because there hath almost always been a publique Physitian provided And this would otherwise be a door opened to a very great Confusion 8. Those who have received more then their due in the former Distributions Those who have received more then their due portion in the former Distributions shall make restitution by a deduction of so much of their portion in the present Distribution 9. Those who have received any thing out of the time of Distribution That which hath been formerly given to the poor out of the time of Distribution shall not be accounted to them in the present Distribution But if there be found any who had competent Estates who thus received any Moneys it shall be accounted to them And the Commissioners are to take all possible care therein that this Article be observed with all equity and uprightness 10. The Arrears of the Ministers Those Ministers to whom any thing was formerly
