That all Donations of any and every Founder of Hospi∣talls and Alms-houses, and of such as have given any Estate to such charitable uses, may be onely made use of for future time exactly to answer the ends of the Doners, and to fulfill their Wills in the matter, that so those to whom of right the bene∣fit of them belongs, may not be unjustly put from it, as in several places they have been, through the corruption of the Officers or Overseers of such places; and surely it is in ustice (if not theft) in a high nature, to dispose of that to one, which was by those that gave it, assigned to another; and when such as survive, and are charitably minded on such an account, do observe the wrong or injustice done in such cases, how are they discouraged from such like works of Charity, when they see the charity of others so abominably abused before their eyes?
