TO THE WORSHIPFVLL and other the Officers of the Hospitall of St. Bartholmew Mr. Iohn Browne Maior of the City of Glocester and President of the House Mr. Laurence Wilshire Alderman and Surueiour Mr. John Thorne Alderman and Treasurer Mr. Richard Smith Sheriffe and Surueiour Mr. William Locksmith and Mr. Iohn Moore Almoners Mr. Iohn Bruster and Mr. Antony Robinson Scrutaners or Visiters of the poore BEing long since enioined by that Reuerend Father and painefull preacher the Lord Bishop that lately liued amongst vs to publish this little Pamphlet I haue at last aduentured it into the view of all Many Criticks it must make account to meet with and moe curious Readers then courteous in this so literate and censorious age wherein many Poems of the same argument are already extant but moe of many other and for due cadence of words and poeticall measure farre more excellent Sith then the acceptance hereof may well seeme doubtfull and the tenuity and nakednesse of it is so apparant as iustly shameth to looke great learned men in face I haue thought meete and most conuenient to shaddow it vnder your worships protection Equity craueth at my hands no lesse First in respect of you who being by place and Office protectors of the poore may iustly challenge to patronize and support whatsoeuer poore and lame labours doe creepe out of the House Secondly in regard of my selfe who being much bounden to the body of this City for the loue and fauour I found in my free election should much forget what I owe if I should not vpon so iust occasion thankfully acknowledge what is due Thirdly in respect of the poore people of the pl●ce whose benefit and good charity doth challenge and particular relation require me by all iust meanes and fit opportunities to purchase and procure All the good that may be done them must necessarily concerne either their soules or their bodies For the body as the miseries thereof are more sensible so is your care commendable who at your ordinary and monthly Court indeauour to increase their weekely pay For the soule I would to God there were not some cause of complaint and seeing this present argument is spirituall and diuine giue me leaue in presenting the same to begge for them this heauenly benefit that euen the soules of forty poore people may by your due regard and prouision appeare to bee deare ●nto you as their bodily estate is tendered pitied and prouided for What their case is I neede not expresse Saint Iohn describeth it at full and in few words Reuel 3. 17. where he calleth the Laodiceans wretched miserable poore blind and naked a dangerous state and which is most to bee lamented they know it not That it is to be succoured and releeued I shall not need to vse many arguments for proofe or perswasion I will only remember you of the intention first of the Foundresse and then of the poore people In the eie of the Foundresse both soule and bodie had their due respect and if shee were so carefull for the benefit of the body as by a Physitian and Chirurgion to prouide for their griefes and by meanes of maintenance in some measure for life and lodging to bring their gray heads in peace vnto the graue it cannot once bee imagined without wrong vnto the dead but that by the Ministers office and place appointed a greater care was intended of sending their soules with comfort to their Sauiour And as touching the poore people that come to bee placed it is knowne to be the profession of all as to be maintained by the charity of the House so to end their daies in the seruice of God Consider therefore I beseech you that the sacrifice they offer is halt blinde and lame t●…at the daies they consecrate are their last and worst wherein they are neither fit to serue sin and the lusts thereof nor yet the Lord and his holy will and seeing they professe a desire of the choice of the better part let them not lacke helpe to direct them thereunto that the eies of their vnderstanding may be opened the hand of their faith strōgthned and their feet guided to make streight steps towards that narrow gate that leadeth vnto life That this blessing may be vpon them and the danger of the ditch auoided Mat. 1 5. 14. insteed of trash and riffe raffe rightly so valued by the same Reuerend Father let true wisdome dwell among them and a man of vnderstanding be procured them that so together with their daily double praying they may haue also often instruction and plaine teaching And the laborer you know is worthy of his hire and the hire you wil say you know not where to haue so that herewithall commeth all the difficulty Here also let me be bold to put you in minde and to put it in Print that it may remaine to put your successors in minde that speciall care be had for raising and conferring maintenance to this purpose by your prouident dispensation and husbanding of the profits appropriated heereunto Your good endeuours heerein may be a meanes when God shall grant opportunity to moue the heart of our noble King Iames or the hopeful Prince Henry his sonne to raise this spirituall building higher vpon so worthy a foundation laid by that excellent Princesse and peerelesse Queene Elizabeth of blessed memory and admired Whatsoeuer you gaine the poore people you shall reape to your selues a worthy recompence praise and good report among men peace cōfort to your own consciences for discharge of your duty and confidence before God in that great day of the appearing of your Sauiour and Iudge when you shall without feare or fainting giue vp an account as of other actions so of the trust committed vnto you of many the mēbers of Christ the bodies soules of your poor brethren If I seeme tedious if importunate if elamorous let it be remembred that it is no shame for a Bartholmews man to beg Hoping therefore that I shall in time be heard I leaue pleading and conclude praying first and principally for your worships and the rest of your worthy ranke that
