A true Report of the great Costs and Charges of the five Hospitals in the City of London under the care of the Lord Mayor Communalty and Citizens of London in the maintenance of their great number of poore this present yeare 1648. as followeth CHildren kept and maintained at this present at the Charge of Christs Hospitall in the said House in divers places of this City and Subburbs and with sundry Nurses in the Country 735. The names of all which are Registred in the Books kept in Christs Hospitall there to be seene from what Parishes and by what meanes they have been from time to time admitted Children put forth Apprentices discharged and dead this year last past 64. In respect of the troubles of the times the meanes of the said Hospitall hath very much failed for want of charitable Benevolences which formerly have been given and are now ceased and very few legacies are now given to Hospitals the Rents and Revenues thereunto belonging being also very ill paid by the Tenants who are not able to hold their Leases by reason of their Quartering and Billetting of Souldiers and the taking away of their Corne and Cattell from them And likewise the said Children are not now permitted to doe their service at Burials as formerly which was a good helpe towards their relief yet notwithstanding there hath been admitted into the said Hospitall within these two years last past 280 Children by reason of these hard times the great number of poore suiters and their extreame necessities which number of Children now upon present charge is more than the Hospitall is well able to maintaine unlesse it please the Lord the times become better and that Charitie doe more increase THere hath been Cured this yeare last past at the Charge of S. Bartholomewes Hospitall of maimed Souldiers and other diseased persons to the number of 831. Most whereof being Souldiers have been relieved with money and other necessaries at their departure Buried this yeare after much Charge in their Sicknesse 170. Remaining under Cure at this present at the charge of the said Hospitall 300. THere hath been Cured at the Charge of S Thomas Hospitall this year last past of diseased persons whereof a great number have been Souldiers who have beene relieved with money and other necessaries at their departure 961.

THere hath been brought to the Hospitall of Bridewell within the space of one whole year last past of wandring Souldiers and other vagrant people to the number of 545. Many whereof have been very chargeable to the said Hospitall for Apparrell sick dyet and Surgery besides their ordinary dyet and other provisions and charges expended about them which could not be avoided by reason of their necessities and many of them have been passed into their Countries with Clothing and Apparrell to cover their nakednesse which could not be otherwise considering their miseries nor they thence passed without such charge And there are now kept and maintained in Arts and Occupations and other severall works and labours at the charge of the said Hospitall Apprentices and other persons to the number of 197. The Hospitall of Bethlem is of great Antiquity use and necessity for keeping and curing distracted persons who are of all other the most miserable by reason of their wants both for soul and body and have no sense thereof The charge thereof is very great there being kept and maintained with Physick Dyet and other relief 53. distracted persons constantly at least besides the charge of Servants to looke to them they being most unruly and not able to helpe themselves and the Rents and Revenues of the said Hospitall being very small not amounting to two third parts of the yearly charge and therefore this Hospitall is a fit object of charitie there having been of late by the blessing of God upon the charge of the said Hospitall and the care of those that are intrusted with the said distracted people divers reduced to their former senses
