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

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

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

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
