Many whereof have beene very chargeable to the said Hospitall, for Apparrell, sicke dyet and Surgery, besides their ordinary dyet, and other provisions and charges expended about them, which could not be avoyded, by reason of their necessities. And there are now kept and maintained in Arts and Occupations, and other severall workes and labours at the charge of the said Hospitall, to the number of 134 Apprentices and other Persons.
The Hospitall of Bethlem is of great antiquity, use and necessity for keeping and curing distracted persons who are of all other the most miserable, by reason of their wants, both for soule and body and have no sence thereof.
That the charge thereof is very great, there being kept and maintained with Physick, dyet, and other reliefe, 44 distracted persons, constantly at least, and the rents and revenues thereof very small, not amounting to two third parts of the yearely charge and therefore is a fit object of Charity.
The date "Aprill 24th 1644" is added in a contemporary hand with the note that "this yeare ther was noe psalmes printed as usually."
