their_o service_n and_o for_o their_o freedom_n afterward_o 9_o that_o the_o say_a father_n of_o the_o poor_a may_v have_v power_n to_o erect_v petty_a bank_n and_o lumbards_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o poor_a if_o they_o shall_v find_v it_o convenient_a and_o also_o to_o receive_v the_o one_o half_a of_o what_o be_v pay_v at_o all_o the_o door_n of_o playhouse_n and_o have_v the_o

our_o nonconformist_n among_o who_o there_o will_v be_v find_v some_o excellent_a instrument_n for_o this_o good_a work_n and_o such_o as_o will_v constant_o attend_v it_o for_o if_o they_o be_v keep_v out_o the_o people_n will_v be_v cold_a in_o their_o charity_n and_o in_o their_o hope_n of_o success_n 12._o that_o the_o say_a father_n of_o the_o poor_a may_v constant_o wear_v some_o honourable_a medal_n such_o as_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n shall_v devise_v beside_o the_o green_a staff_n which_o be_v now_o use_v in_o london_n to_o such_o like_a purpose_n but_o upon_o

have_v all_o the_o familiar_n of_o the_o inquisition_n in_o most_o romish_a country_n with_o admirable_a effect_n though_o to_o a_o wicked_a purpose_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o will_v be_v that_o the_o say_v father_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v numerous_a and_o disperse_v by_o their_o habitation_n and_o business_n into_o most_o part_n of_o their_o province_n will_v ready_o see_v any_o neglect_n of_o officer_n and_o as_o easy_o redress_v they_o the_o medal_n which_o they_o wear_v about_o they_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o command_v obedience_n from_o all_o parish-officer_n wherever_o

few_o than_o too_o many_o 14._o that_o the_o say_a father_n of_o the_o poor_a beside_o the_o authority_n now_o exercise_v by_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n may_v have_v some_o less_o limit_a power_n give_v they_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o punishment_n of_o their_o own_o and_o parish_n officer_n by_o pecuniary_a mulct_n for_o the_o poor_n benefit_n in_o case_n of_o neglect_n and_o otherwise_o as_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a 15._o that_o the_o say_a father_n of_o the_o poor_a may_v have_v freedom_n to_o set_v the_o poor_a on_o work_n about_o whatsoever_o manufacture_n they_o think_v fit_a with_o a_o non-obstante_a to_o all_o patent_n that_o have_v be_v or_o shall_v be_v grant_v to_o any_o private_a person_n or_o person_n for_o the_o sole_a manufacture_n of_o any_o commodity_n the_o want_n of_o which_o privilege_n i_o have_v be_v tell_v be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o the_o workhouse_n at_o clerkenwell_n in_o their_o late_a design_n of_o set_v their_o poor_a child_n about_o make_v of_o hang_n 16._o that_o all_o vacancy_n by_o reason_n of_o death_n of_o any_o of_o the_o say_a father_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v perpetual_o supply_v by_o election_n of_o the_o survivor_n quest._n 4._o the_o four_o question_n be_v who_o shall_v be_v the_o person_n entrust_v with_o so_o great_a a_o work_n and_o such_o excess_n of_o power_n this_o be_v a_o question_n likewise_o of_o some_o difficulty_n and_o the_o more_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o present_a difference_n in_o religion_n but_o i_o shall_v answer_v it_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v in_o general_n i_o say_v they_o must_v be_v such_o as_o the_o people_n must_v have_v ample_a satisfaction_n in_o or_o else_o the_o whole_a design_n will_v be_v lose_v for_o if_o the_o universality_n of_o the_o people_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o the_o person_n they_o will_v never_o part_v with_o their_o money_n but_o if_o they_o be_v well_o satisfy_v therein_o they_o will_v be_v miraculous_o charitable_a quest._n 5._o this_o beget_v a_o five_o question_n what_o sort_n of_o man_n the_o people_n will_v be_v most_o satisfy_v in_o i_o answer_v i_o think_v in_o none_o so_o well_o as_o such_o only_a as_o a_o common_a hall_n of_o the_o livery-man_n of_o london_n shall_v make_v choice_n of_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o experience_n of_o many_o age_n that_o the_o several_a corporation_n in_o london_n be_v the_o best_a administrator_n of_o what_o be_v leave_v to_o chaoitable_a use_v that_o have_v ever_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o regular_a just_a and_o prudent_a management_n of_o the_o hospital_n of_o london_n and_o be_v wise_o observe_v by_o dr._n collet_n dean_n of_o st._n paul_n '_o s_z that_o prudent_a ecclesiastic_a when_o he_o leave_v the_o government_n of_o that_o school_n and_o other_o great_a revenue_n assign_v by_o he_o for_o charitable_a uses_n unto_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o mercer_n company_n object_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o country_n gentleman_n who_o have_v power_n in_o place_n of_o their_o residence_n and_o pay_v out_o of_o their_o large_a estate_n considerable_a sum_n towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o poor_a within_o the_o afore-limited_n precinct_n may_v be_v just_o offend_v if_o they_o likewise_o have_v not_o a_o share_n in_o the_o distribution_n of_o what_o shall_v be_v raise_v to_o that_o purpose_n answ._n i_o answer_v the_o force_n of_o this_o objection_n may_v be_v much_o take_v off_o if_o the_o city_n be_v oblige_v to_o choose_v but_o a_o certain_a number_n out_o of_o the_o city_n as_o suppose_v seventy_o for_o london_n ten_o out_o of_o southwark_n for_o that_o burrow_n twenty_o for_o westminster_n this_o will_v best_a satisfy_v the_o people_n and_o i_o think_v do_v the_o work_n but_o if_o it_o be_v think_v too_o much_o for_o the_o city_n to_o have_v the_o choice_n of_o any_o more_o than_o their_o own_o seventy_o the_o justice_n of_o peace_n in_o their_o quarter-session_n may_v nominate_v and_o appoint_v their_o own_o number_n of_o person_n to_o assist_v for_o their_o respective_a jurisdiction_n and_o so_o to_o supply_v the_o vacancy_n in_o case_n of_o death_n etc._n etc._n but_o all_o must_v be_v conjunctive_a but_o one_o body_n politic_a or_o the_o work_n will_v never_o be_v do_v quest._n 6._o the_o six_o question_n be_v what_o will_v be_v the_o advantage_n to_o the_o kingdom_n in_o general_n and_o to_o the_o poor_a in_o particular_a that_o will_v accrue_v by_o such_o a_o society_n of_o man_n more_o than_o be_v enjoin_v by_o the_o law_n at_o present_a i_o answer_v innumerable_a and_o unspeakable_a be_v the_o benefit_n of_o this_o kingdom_n that_o will_v arise_v from_o the_o consultation_n and_o debate_n of_o such_o a_o wise_a and_o honest_a council_n who_o be_v man_n so_o elect_v as_o aforesaid_a will_v certain_o conscionable_o study_v and_o labour_n to_o discharge_v their_o trust_n in_o this_o service_n of_o god_n their_o king_n and_o country_n one_a the_o poor_a of_o what_o quality_n soever_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v meet_v with_o will_v be_v immediate_o relieve_v or_o set_v on_o work_n where_o they_o be_v find_v
