THe
Hospitall
of
Bethlehem
is
of
great
Antiquity
,
use
,
and
necessity
,
for
keeping
and
curing
distracted
persons
,
who
are
of
all
others
most
miserable
,
by
reason
of
their
wants
,
both
for
soul
and
body
,
and
have
no
sense
thereof
.
The
charge
thereof
is
very
great
,
there
being
kept
and
maintained
with
Physick
,
Dyet
,
and
other
relief
,
52
distracted
persons
constantly
at
least
,
besides
the
charge
of
servants
to
look
to
them
,
they
being
most
unruly
and
not
able
to
help
themselves
;
and
the
Rents
and
Revenues
of
the
said
Hospitall
being
very
small
,
not
amounting
to
two
third
parts
of
the
yearly
charge
,
and
therefore
this
Hospitall
is
a
fit
object
of
charity
,
there
having
been
and
daily
are
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
upon
the
charge
of
the
said
Hospitall
,
and
care
of
those
that
are
intrusted
with
the
said
distracted
people
,
divers
reduced
to
their
former
senses
.
