Middl. ss. Ad Generalem Sessionem Pacis Dom. Regis tent. pro Com. Middl. apud Hicks-hall in St. John-street, in Com. praed’ die Lunae scil. Tricesimo die Augusti Anno Regni Regis Jacobi Secundi nunc Angliae, &c. secundo.
WE the Grand Jury at Hicks-hall, Sworn this present Ses∣sions for the Body of the County of Middlesex, going to see this publick House, or the General Nursery, or Colledg of Infants, did examine and inspect into the Methods and Rules thereof, and we find that all the Children there, are well Lodged, well Cloathed, kept Neat and Clean, taught to Read and Write, and well instructed in the Religion of the Church of England, as it's now Established by Law. And we find that by such Education, both the Bodies and Souls of many Infants will be preserved, and many great Evils prevented, which daily happen in this County. And we find it a great Advantage and Convenience to the several Parishes, and that it is a very charitable and exceeding good Work. And we return our humble and hearty Thanks to the Justices of the Peace for this County, for the Encouragement they have already given it. And we humbly desire the further Assistance of this Court for the supporting and promoting thereof.
William Holden, Foreman.
