london_n anno_fw-la dom._n 1647._o a_o brief_a declaration_n of_o those_o that_o have_v accept_v the_o trust_n of_o receive_v and_o distribute_v such_o sum_n of_o money_n as_o well-affected_n person_n shall_v subscribe_v towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o hopeful_a student_n at_o both_o the_o university_n for_o the_o speedy_a supply_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o england_n with_o godly_a and_o able_a minister_n together_o with_o rule_n which_o they_o among_o themselves_o have_v agree_v to_o observe_v therein_o and_o some_o motive_n to_o incite_v well-affected_a person_n to_o be_v assistant_n thereunto_o the_o mature_a and_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o present_a sad_a condition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n within_o this_o kingdom_n have_v put_v we_o who_o name_n be_v hereunto_o annex_v upon_o a_o joint_a debate_n and_o consultation_n both_o touch_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o misery_n and_o the_o proper_a mean_n of_o remedy_n for_o the_o first_o we_o find_v that_o the_o scarcity_n of_o a_o godly_a learned_a and_o orthodox_n ministry_n be_v one_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o woeful_a ignorance_n error_n heresy_n blasphemy_n and_o prophanesse_n spread_v and_o abound_v throughout_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n reproach_n of_o the_o gospel_n hindrance_n of_o the_o happy_a work_n of_o reformation_n and_o hazard_v of_o the_o eternal_a loss_n of_o many_o thousand_o precious_a soul_n and_o we_o perceive_v how_o improbable_a it_o be_v that_o the_o want_n of_o such_o a_o ministry_n shall_v in_o any_o reasonable_a time_n be_v competent_o supply_v in_o those_o many_o congregation_n that_o be_v for_o present_v destitute_a unless_o some_o extraordinary_a course_n be_v speedy_o take_v be_v certain_o inform_v that_o there_o be_v many_o hopeful_a young_a student_n already_o in_o the_o university_n of_o cambridge_n disable_v to_o continue_v there_o any_o long_o and_o many_o pregnant_a and_o hopeful_a scholar_n ready_a for_o the_o university_n discourage_v and_o hinder_v from_o go_v thither_o through_o lack_n of_o maintenance_n towards_o their_o subsistence_n there_o who_o parent_n be_v either_o destroy_v by_o

have_v produce_v and_o as_o touch_v the_o second_o we_o conceive_v that_o one_o of_o the_o most_o speedy_a proper_a and_o probable_a remedy_n against_o this_o evil_n next_o unto_o the_o care_n of_o provide_v for_o those_o who_o be_v there_o already_o will_v be_v forthwith_o to_o replenish_v both_o the_o university_n with_o store_n of_o hopeful_a and_o promise_a plant_n addict_v to_o learning_n
