as to a single Man It is a most Divine Virtue which will oblige God to dwell among us and shelter us under the Wings of his Divine Majesty It will make him become unto us a Cloudy by Day and a Pillar of Fire by Night it will make him fight our Battels and scatter our Enemies and be as a Wall of Brass round about us It will make him lengthen the Days of our Gracious King and preserve him against all Conspiracies It will keep our Cities from Fire and Plague our Fields from Mildews and Blastings our Ships from Wrack our Religion from Popery and Enthusiasme the Government from Usurpation and our Purses and Estates from Arbitrary Power In a word it will help us all to an happy and glorious Resurrection and to appear with joy and comfort at the day of Judgment when standing at the right hand of our Lord we shall hear him say unto us Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world For I was hungry and you gave me meat I was thirsty and you gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked I was and ye clothed me I was sick and you visited me I was in prison and you came unto me to pay my debts and set me free All this you did for my sake to my Poor Members whom you always had with you And in as much as you did it unto them ye did it unto me Thus much for the general Exhortation unto the great duty of Charity I shall conclude it with another more particular which for your further Encouragement I was desired by the Governours of the Hospitals to read A true REPORT of the great number of Poor Children and other Poor People Maintained in the several HOSPITALS under the pious care of the LORD MATOR Commonalty and Citizens of the City of LONDON the year last past CHildren put forth Apprentices Christ's Hospital and discharged out of Christ's Hospital the year last past 101.

They being so many in number and the Charges of keeping them so great and the Hospital having sustained great Losses by the late lamentable and dreadful Fire it is hoped several good Christians will freely contribute towards the maintenance of the said Children The certain Revenue of the said Hospital being little more than the Moiety of the necessary Charges thereof THere have been Cured in the Hospital of St. Bartholomew S. Bartholomew 's Hospital the year last past of Wounded Sick and Maimed Persons though as it hath pleased God the greatest part of the Revenues of the said Hospital was consumed by the late dreadful Fire 1793 Buried this year after much charges on them 227 Persons remaining under Cure in the said Hospital 237 THere have been Cured S. Thomas Hospital and Discharged this year last past in the Hospital of St. Thomas in Southwark of Wounded Sick and Maimed Persons though as it hath pleased God not only a principal part of their Revenue was consumed in the dreadful Conflagration in this City 1666 but also the best of their remaining houses were wholly burnt down in the great dismal Fire in Southwark which happened in May 1676 wherein also the Scite of this Hospital it self was very much damnified and very likely to have been destroyed 1410 Buried this year last past after much Charge in the time of their Sickness 232 Remaining under Cure at the Charge of the said Hospital 291 REceived this last year into the Hospital of Bridewel Bindewel Hospital Vagrants and other Indigent and Miserable People 822 Maintained in the said Hospital and brought up in divers Arts and Trades at the only Charge of the said Hospital Apprentices notwithstanding it pleased God the Hospital and all the Houses within the Precinct thereof which was the greater part of its Revenue were wholly consumed by the late dreadful Fire besides the great Loss sustained in the remains of its Revenue by two terrible Fires the one in June 1673 and the other in November last 168● which happened in Wapping 223 Bethlem Hospital BRought into Bethlem Hospital the last year Distracted Men and Women 75 Cured of their Lunacy and discharged thence the said year 41 Distracted Persons buried the last year 13 Now remaining there under Cure and provided with Physick Dyet and other Relief at the Charge of the said Hospital 118 The Charge whereof is great and the Revenue of the said Hospital so small as not to amount to one half part of the yearly Expences thereof and the Building of the Old Hospital of Bethlem being Ruinous and not Capacious to receive and contain the great number of Distracted Persons for the admission of whom daily applications are made to the Governours thereof a more commodious House was Erected in the Building and Finishing whereof the Governours of the said Hospital have laid out and disbursed above Seventeen Thousand Pounds whereby not only the Stock of the said Hospital is Expended but the Governours thereof have been necessitated to take up several great Sums of Money for the Finishing the same for which they pay Interest And therefore the said Hospital is a very fit object of all good mens Charity to do as God shall enable them towards the relief of the said poor Lunaticks and payment of their Debts There having been and daily are by the Blessing of God and the Charge of the said Hospital and the Care of those that are intrusted therewith divers reduced to their former Senses These are the fruits of their Charity who have gone before us in the Faith God give us grace to follow their good Example that with them we may be partakers of Eternal Glory though Jesus Christ our Lord to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be ascribed as is most due Eternal Praise Might Majesty and Glory now and ever Amen FINIS
