A87192	Londons charity inlarged, stilling the orphans cry. By the liberality of the Parliament, in granting two houses by Act, and giving a thousand pound towards the work for the imployment of the poor, and education of poor children, who many of them are destroyed in their youth for want of being under a good government and education, whereby they may be made serviceable for God, and the Commonwealth. Also this good work is much encouraged by the liberall contributions of many well-affected citizens of London, for the better carrying it on for the glory of God, the honor of the nation, and comfort of the helples poor. With a platform, how many officers needfull to govern 100 children in a work-house, with laws and orders for the schoolmaster to read to the children once a day for a time, afterwards twice a month, whereby they may be kept under a godly and civill government, to the great joy of good peopl. With other observations worthy the reading. / By S.H. a well-wisher to the nations prosperity, and the poors comfort.

shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o a_o pass_n if_o he_o live_v above_o thirty_o mile_n from_o london_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o distance_n of_o thirty_o mile_n it_o be_v because_o the_o carrier_n come_v two_o or_o three_o time_n a_o week_n and_o a_o letter_n from_o the_o corporation_n to_o the_o parish_n and_o the_o say_a carrier_n that_o dwell_v near_a to_o the_o parish_n to_o carry_v it_o and_o the_o porter_n that_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o carrier_n to_o carry_v the_o say_a letter_n to_o the_o parish_n where_o the_o beggar_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v or_o last_o dwell_v and_o he_o to_o deliver_v it_o to_o the_o constable_n or_o collector_n for_o the_o poor_a and_o they_o without_o delay_n upon_o a_o penalty_n to_o return_v answer_n by_o the_o first_o or_o second_o return_n of_o the_o carrier_n and_o their_o hand_n with_o the_o hand_n either_o of_o a_o justice_n or_o minister_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o the_o truth_n whether_o ever_o any_o such_o person_n be_v bear_v there_o or_o inhabit_v among_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n you_o will_v soon_o discover_v much_o falsehood_n among_o beggar_n and_o much_o carelessness_n among_o constable_n in_o not_o guide_v home_o the_o beggar_n to_o their_o parish_n a_o penalty_n on_o they_o will_v make_v they_o be_v careful_a therefore_o if_o the_o corporation_n do_v intend_v to_o do_v the_o work_n true_o faithful_o and_o with_o advantage_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n they_o must_v neither_o take_v the_o word_n of_o a_o wander_a beggar_n nor_o the_o true_a service_n of_o a_o careless_a constable_n for_o they_o be_v both_o ill_a member_n to_o a_o well-governed_a commonwealth_n and_o will_v deceive_v therefore_o two_o letter_n from_o the_o corporation_n to_o the_o parish_n where_o the_o beggar_n say_v he_o be_v bear_v or_o last_o abode_n will_v be_v very_o necessary_a viz._n one_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n whether_o ever_o any_o such_o person_n belong_v to_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n you_o shall_v have_v a_o true_a account_n whether_o the_o beggar_n report_v be_v true_a the_o other_o letter_n be_v when_o the_o beggar_n be_v send_v away_o with_o the_o pass_n to_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v come_v to_o his_o parish_n if_o not_o you_o shall_v be_v sure_a then_o to_o know_v what_o constable_n be_v in_o the_o fault_n that_o the_o beggar_n be_v not_o conduct_v to_o his_o parish_n such_o constable_n be_v fine_v will_v make_v other_o beware_v this_o will_v be_v little_a charge_n to_o the_o corporation_n and_o your_o work_n do_v very_o judicious_o with_o care_n and_o prudence_n for_o some_o beggar_n may_v commit_v some_o misdemeanour_n in_o their_o country_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o simple_a thing_n to_o take_v their_o word_n for_o they_o will_v never_o tell_v truth_n as_o for_o example_n suppose_v a_o constable_n of_o london_n shall_v take_v up_o a_o beggar_n in_o his_o precinct_n or_o parish_n and_o shall_v ask_v he_o where_o he_o be_v bear_v or_o last_o dwell_v the_o beggar_n shall_v say_v at_o york_n or_o newcastle_n when_o as_o peradventure_o he_o be_v neither_o bear_v nor_o inhabit_v in_o any_o of_o the_o foresay_a city_n and_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v never_o in_o that_o country_n in_o all_o his_o life_n yet_o upon_o the_o bare_a word_n of_o the_o beggar_n the_o constable_n make_v his_o pass_n correct_v he_o and_o send_v he_o away_o to_o the_o place_n of_o his_o birth_n or_o last_o abode_n as_o he_o say_v and_o when_o he_o come_v thither_o the_o inhabitant_n there_o will_v own_v no_o such_o person_n and_o so_o he_o must_v be_v bring_v back_o again_o to_o the_o great_a trouble_n of_o the_o country_n according_a to_o this_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o precedent_n a_o gentleman_n who_o be_v now_o one_o of_o the_o corporation_n be_v constable_n a_o lusty_a beggar_n be_v beg_v in_o his_o parish_n he_o ask_v he_o where_o he_o be_v bear_v he_o say_v at_o dover_n he_o cause_v the_o beadle_n to_o whip_v he_o and_o make_v he_o his_o pass_n and_o send_v he_o for_o dover_n when_o he_o come_v thither_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o dover_n will_v not_o receive_v he_o they_o have_v none_o such_o bear_v there_o they_o send_v he_o back_o again_o to_o london_n from_o whence_o he_o be_v send_v

when_o the_o constable_n see_v he_o he_o admire_v that_o the_o law_n be_v so_o defect_n and_o he_o be_v sorry_a the_o country_n be_v so_o much_o trouble_v by_o carry_v and_o recarry_v to_o no_o purpose_n then_o he_o ask_v the_o beggar_n where_o he_o do_v ever_o dwell_v he_o say_v at_o bristol_n the_o constable_n send_v he_o away_o for_o that_o place_n and_o what_o become_v of_o he_o afterwards_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v herein_o we_o find_v it_o be_v a_o trouble_n to_o a_o commonwealth_n that_o a_o constable_n have_v no_o more_o proof_n concerning_o a_o wander_a rogue_n birth_n or_o abode_n but_o only_o his_o bare_a word_n which_o may_v lie_v if_o he_o please_v as_o well_o as_o tell_v truth_n consider_v in_o the_o next_o place_n how_o a_o careless_a careless_a constable_n may_v prove_v a_o ill_a instrument_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o if_o a_o lusty_a beggar_n pass_v through_o the_o hand_n of_o many_o constable_n safe_a as_o he_o be_v carry_v along_o the_o country_n yet_o if_o at_o last_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o careless_a constable_n he_o can_v make_v his_o escape_n and_o go_v into_o another_o part_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o continue_v still_o a_o trouble_n and_o a_o danger_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v very_o desperate_a and_o envious_a if_o a_o farmer_n give_v not_o they_o a_o alm_n to_o their_o own_o mind_n or_o a_o cross-word_n they_o care_v no_o more_o to_o set_v his_o barn_n and_o rick_n of_o corn_n on_o fire_n then_o to_o light_v a_o pipe_n of_o tobacco_n so_o desperate_a many_o of_o they_o be_v to_o do_v a_o mischief_n by_o day_n or_o by_o night_n wherefore_o in_o my_o apprehension_n there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o guide_v beggar_n to_o their_o home_n then_o by_o way_n of_o the_o carrier_n for_o some_o carrier_n have_v be_v complain_v of_o for_o bring_v boy_n and_o girl_n and_o leave_v they_o at_o london_n upon_o the_o charge_n of_o this_o city_n i_o conceive_v a_o carrier_n or_o wagoner_n be_v the_o fit_a man_n to_o convey_v beggar_n that_o dwell_v about_o 30_o mile_n from_o london_n for_o trunk_n provide_v the_o parish_n pay_v the_o carrier_n for_o his_o pain_n and_o if_o the_o carrier_n or_o wagoner_n do_v not_o perform_v their_o care_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n let_v a_o penalty_n be_v lay_v upon_o on_o they_o by_o this_o mean_n the_o constable_n will_v be_v free_v and_o the_o country_n ease_v of_o such_o person_n that_o be_v a_o pest_n and_o trouble_n to_o our_o nation_n and_o if_o in_o case_n a_o lusty_a vagrant_n shall_v say_v he_o be_v bear_v a_o hundred_o mile_n or_o more_o not_o then_o to_o have_v a_o pass_n but_o rather_o be_v keep_v to_o work_v either_o in_o the_o house_n of_o correction_n or_o in_o the_o
