ancient_a opinion_n and_o observation_n that_o in_o the_o university_n of_o this_o realm_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o best_a endow_v in_o europe_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o want_v

than_o they_o evacuate_v from_o it_o but_o chief_o i_o rely_v upon_o the_o reason_n i_o touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n that_o in_o these_o great_a hospital_n the_o revenue_n will_v draw_v the_o use_n and_o not_o the_o use_v the_o revenue_n and_o so_o through_o the_o mass_n of_o wealth_n they_o will_v swift_o tumble_v down_o in_o a_o mis-employment_n and_o if_o any_o man_n say_v that_o in_o the_o

they_o be_v under_o the_o superior_a care_n and_o policy_n of_o such_o a_o state_n as_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o chief_o that_o their_o revenue_n consist_v not_o in_o certainty_n but_o in_o casualty_n and_o free_a gift_n which_o gift_n will_v be_v withhold_v if_o they_o appear_v once_o to_o be_v pervert_v so_o as_o it_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o continual_a good_a behaviour_n and_o awe_n to_o employ_v they_o aright_o none_o of_o which_o point_n do_v match_n with_o the_o present_a case_n the_o next_o consideration_n may_v be_v whether_o this_o intend_a hospital_n as_o it_o have_v a_o more_o ample_a endowment_n than_o other_o hospital_n have_v shall_v not_o likewise_o work_v upon_o a_o better_a subject_n than_o other_o poor_a as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v convert_v to_o the_o

beggar_n deserve_v both_o a_o more_o liberal_a stipend_n and_o allowance_n and_o some_o proper_a place_n of_o relief_n not_o intermingle_v or_o couple_v with_o the_o base_a sort_n of_o poor_a which_o project_n though_o specious_a yet_o in_o my_o judgement_n will_v not_o answer_v the_o design_n in_o the_o event_n in_o these_o our_o time_n for_o certain_o few_o man_n in_o any_o vocation_n who_o have_v be_v somebody_o and_o bear_v a_o mind_n somewhat_o according_a to_o conscience_n and_o remembrance_n of_o that_o they_o have_v be_v will_v ever_o condescend_v to_o that_o condition_n as_o to_o profess_v to_o live_v upon_o alm_n and_o to_o become_v a_o corporation_n of_o declare_a beggar_n but_o rather_o will_v choose_v to_o live_v obscure_o and_o as_o it_o be_v to_o hide_v themselves_o with_o some_o private_a friend_n so_o that_o the_o end_n of_o such_o a_o institution_n will_v be_v that_o it_o will_v make_v the_o place_n a_o receptacle_n of_o the_o worst_a idle_v and_o most_o dissolute_a person_n of_o every_o profession_n and_o to_o become_v a_o cell_n of_o loiterer_n cast_v serve_v man_n and_o drunkard_n with_o scandal_n rather_o than_o fruit_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o of_o this_o kind_n i_o can_v find_v but_o one_o example_n with_o we_o which_o be_v the_o alm_n knight_n of_o windsor_n which_o particular_a will_v give_v a_o man_n small_a encouragement_n to_o follow_v that_o precedent_n therefore_o the_o best_a effect_n of_o hospital_n be_v to_o make_v the_o kingdom_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a capable_a of_o that_o law_n that_o there_o be_v no_o beggar_n

be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o such_o a_o beneficence_n towards_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v so_o bestow_v as_o not_o only_o the_o mere_a and_o naked_a poor_a shall_v be_v sustain_v but_o also_o that_o the_o honest_a person_n which_o make_v hard_a mean_n to_o live_v upon_o who_o the_o poor_a be_v now_o charge_v shall_v be_v in_o some_o sort_n relieve_v for_o that_o be_v a_o work_n general_o acceptable_a to_o the_o kingdom_n if_o the_o public_a hand_n of_o alm_n may_v spare_v the_o private_a hand_n of_o tax_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o other_o employment_n of_o that_o kind_n i_o commend_v most_o house_n of_o relief_n and_o correction_n which_o be_v mix_v hospital_n where_o the_o impotent_a person_n be_v relieve_v and_o the_o sturdy_a beggar_n buckle_v to_o work_v and_o the_o unable_a person_n also_o not_o maintain_v to_o be_v idle_a which_o be_v ever_o join_v with_o drunkenness_n and_o impurity_n but_o be_v sort_v with_o such_o work_n as_o he_o can_v manage_v and_o

vagabond_n but_o be_v general_a and_o promiscuous_a so_o that_o they_o may_v take_v off_o poor_a of_o every_o sort_n from_o the_o country_n as_o the_o country_n breed_v they_o and_o thus_o the_o poor_a themselves_o shall_v find_v the_o provision_n and_o other_o people_n the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o abatement_n of_o the_o tax_n now_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o house_n of_o correction_n in_o all_o place_n have_v not_o do_v the_o good_a expect_v as_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o in_o most_o place_n they_o have_v do_v much_o good_a so_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v
