A T an anniverfary Meeting of the Contributors, held thd Sixth of the Fifth Month, May, 1754, the following Members of this Corporation were chofen Managers and Treafurer for the Year enfuing, viz. MANAGERS. Jqshua Crosbv, Isaac Jones, Hugh Roberts, Samuel Rhoads, John Smith, John Revnell, Israel Pemberton, Eva^n Morgan, Benjamin Franklin, Joseph Fox, Joseph Morris, William Grant. TREASURER, Charles Norris. On the Tenth of the fame Month the faid Managers met, .and obferving that the Term for which the Rules made for the Choice of Phyficians and Surgeons was expired, and being willing to give the Contributors a frefh Opportunity of manifeft- ing their Sentiments on this Matter, which in the early Eftabhfhment of the Institu- tion had been a Subject of divers Confutations and Debates, they gave public Notice^ in the Gazette hereof, and concluded, in the mean Time, that the fame Rules mould be obferved and maintained, until any Twenty of the Concributors mould defire they might be reconfideredat a General Meeting ; but as no Application was made for this Purpofe, nor any Diflatisfadion appeared, or Alteration propofed—-.....they proceeded in the Method which had been experienced to anfwer the End intended, and accordingly made Choice of Doctors Thomas Bond, Phineas Bond, Thomas Cad- waladcr, Samuel P. Mccre, John Redman, and William Shippen, to be the Phyficians and Surgeons for the Year enfuing •, who, being applied to, confented to engage in the Service, and agreed to clafs themfelves in the fame Manner, as heretofore. The next Matter which engaged the Attention of the Managers, was the raifing further Contributions to increafe the Capital Stock, and enable them to extend the F 2 Ufc 4 [42 ] Ufc of this humane Inftitution : For which Purpofe they publimed an Account of its Kife and Progrefs, to this Time •, fome Copies whereof they fent to London, ac- companied by the following Letter to Ibemds Hyam, and Sylvanus Sevan, viz. Efteemed Friends, Philadelphia, 7th 8th Month, 1754. YOUR chearful Concurrence with us, in the Foundation of the Pennfylvania Hof- pital, Jo fully affures us of the Pleafure you would take in its Succefs and advancement, that we determined to embrace every Jui table Occafion of communicating the Accounts of our Prcgrefs : And the Public having received fime Benefit, and being, we hope, gradually become more fenfible of the Advantages of the Inflitution, it was judged expedient, befides the General State of our Accounts, to publifh a Narrative of our Af- fairs from the Beginning ; which being now compleated, 'we fend sou a Dozen of them, not doubting of your Friendfhip in diftributing them in fuch Manner as may be of mcft Service ; and that if you find any of your Friends difpofed to contribute towards this good Work, you will promote their doing it. We falute you with.Refpecl, and are Your real Friends. When the Nature of this charitable Defign became known to the generous Penn- fylvanians, confiderable Sums were foon added to the Stock, particularly by the Citizens of Philadelphia, where few of the Wealthy, or thofe of a middling Rank, failed of contributing according to their Circumftances : Some Benefactions were alio obtained from London, and fome Parts of the Weft-Indies, which encouraged the Managers to attempt the important Tafk.of Building \ a 1 afk the more difficult, as they were not authorifed (for good Reafons) to apply any Part of the Capital .Stock to- that Purpofe •, .the Sum of Money given by the AfTembly not being half fufficient, and the certain Profpect of a War in America, while it was like to increafe the Occa- fion, leffened the Expectation of any further .Afiiftance from them . Neverthelefs, confiding in the fame Divine Providence, which had hitherto blefTed their pious En- deavours beyond their mcft fanguine Hopes, for Afliftance to perform that Work, which was now found neceflary, not only from the Increafe of the Number of Pa- tients, but the Want of Conveniencies, which no private Houfe in the City could furnifh them with, they again fought for a fuitable Spot of Ground to erect an FlofpitaJ on ; and, after various Enquiries and Confutations, had the Satisfaction to purchafe, on moderate Terms, the Lot which of all in or near the City was judged moft proper for fuch a Defign : It is bounded on three Street, the South Front 396 Feet, and contains between three and four Acres of Ground. (Our Proprietaries are Owners of near one Acre on the North, which, if obtained, will compleat the Square, and the Profpocts of four Fronts open to fo many Streets, encompafling the whole Pitc^ of Land, would then be fecure.) This Purchafe being made near the End of the Year 1754, the Managers directed a Plan of an Hofpital to be prepared, that a Part might re erected the enfuing Sea- fon ; and one of them falter confulting the feveral Phyficians in regard to the Situation of the Cells, and other Conveniences) drew a Defign of the whole Building, fuiting 5 C 43 ] fuiting the Lot of Ground, in fuch Form, that one third "Part might alone be executed with tolerable Symmetry •, and containing, independent of the other Parts, all Accommodations rcquifite for the prefent Purpofe. In this Defign is exhibited a Houfe 62 Feet in Front, elevated above the adjoining Buildings, and projecting beyond them a fuitable Diftance, to cover a Colonade intended on the South-Front of the Wards, which may be decorated in fuch Manner •as the Contributors hereafter fhall think fit. All the Aparttaents for the Steward, Matron, Apothecary, 6rV. a large Stair- cafe leading to the feveral Wards, and many other Conveniences, may be made in this Divifion. Adjoining hereto, on the Eaft and Weft Ends, two Wards, each 80 Feet front, 27 Feet deep, and three Stories high. In the firft Story of each Ward, the Cells for Lunatics, a Gallery the whole Length of 80 Feet, for fuch of them as may be trufted to walk about, with a Place for Bathing, &c. In the fecond Story, the Mens Ward, with four Fire-places in each, and Venti- lators to carry ofT the foul Air. *«^ The third Story like the fecond, but intended for the Womens Ward. The Garret may be occafionally applied for the Ufe of cither Sex. Adjoining to the Eaft and Weft Ends of the Wards, two Wings, each 27 Feet wide, and extending in Length, North and South, 110 Feet. In the Middle"of each Wing, oppofite the Wards, a Hall 28 Feet fquare ("in- cluding a Stair-cafe) projecting beyond the other Parts of the Wings, fufficient to cover their Cornice, and raifed one Story above them •, with a Balluftrade round the Top, and a Cupola, which may afford a fecure Way out, in cafe of Fire. The whole Extent, from Eaft to Weft, 276 Feet •, the North and South Fronts nearly alike, and, by the Length of the Wings crofting the Wards, the Eaft and Weft Fronts will make an agreeable Appearance. Besides the additional Rooms for Cells, private Apartments for fuch Patients as may be improper to be received into the Great Wards, thefe Wings will afford many Conveniences for the Family, as Cellars, Store-rooms for Provifions, Kitchens, Landry, Lodgings for Servants, 13c This Defign being approved by the Managers, and an Eftimate made of the Ex- pence of erecting one Wing and one Ward, the Contributors were, according to Law, notified to meet on the Tenth Day of the Third Month (March) to confider the Propofal, and finally to determine thereon ; and unanimoufly approving the im- mediate building the Parts propofed, the Managers appointed one of their own Number to provide Materials, agree with Workmen, and to fuperintend the Work ; and a Committee to advife and affift therein, as Occafion might require : Thefe, with one of the moft capable of the Contributors, devoting themfelves to the Service, united in concerting the moft frugal Method of carrying on the Building, and mdu- ftrioufly foliciting Contributions from all Perfons concerned-herein, moft of thofe of whom Materials were purchafed contributing a large Proportion of what they furniftied ; and many of the Articles, though each fingly, might have been fupplied by one Perfon, were divided amongft a Number, to obtain fomething from each : 6 C 44 J 5o diligent and fucceftful were their Application, that fcarce a Tradefman, or even a Labourer, was employed in any Part of the Work^ or in providing the Materials, without firft engaging a reafonable Part to be charitably applied in the Premifes. By thefe Means the appropriated Funds were greatly extended, and the Capital faved ; though the Trouble to the Superintendants and Affiftants was much aug- mented. The Committee appointed to ftate and adjuft the Accounts to this Time, made Report thereof as follows, viz.

Who, at their firft: Meeting, made Choice of the fame Phyficians and Surgeons a9 laft Year. Divers Inconveniences being found to proceed from wafhing the Linen, &c. of the Patients in the common Kitchen, it was concluded expedient to build a Wafli- Houfe, a fmall Diftance from the Houfe ; a Committee was appointed to make out a Plan for Confideration of the Managers, and to provide Materials for building it, which was accordingly done, and the Work nearly compleataj this Year. The Circumftahces of the Inftitution, and State of the Fobds, pecafioned a Con- ference to be held by the Managers, Treafurer and Phyficians, in order to confider of Meafures proper to be taken, for leffening the Expences, regulating the Diet of the Patients, and to follicit Contributions for advancing the Capital Stock, and to defray the Charges accruing on the neceffary Conveniences lately made for accommo- dating the Patients. In Confequence of which fome additional Benefactions were obtained, a Bill of Diet agreed upon, and the following Addrefs prepared by the Managers, and prefented to the Houfe of Affembly, viz. To the Honourable the REPRESENTATIVES of the Freemen of the Province of Pennfylvania, in General Affembly met, The ADDRESS of the Managers of the Pennfylvania Hofpital. s Sheweth, THAT the faid Hofpital, founded about eight Tears fince, with the Approbation, and by the Affiftance of the Affembly, hath been hitherto fupported by the Contri- butions of private Perfons ; and by the Divi-ne Bleffing on the Endeavours of the Phyficians, upwards of Three Hundred diflreffed Perfons have been cured of various Dif- orders cf Body and Mind, under which they had languifhed -, and many others have been confiderably relieved, and thereby reftored to a Capacity of being ferviceable to themfelves and the Public. That the Two Thoufand Pounds contributed by the Affembly, towards the Building, being long fince expended, we have been under the Neceffity of applying moft of the Con- tributions obtained from private Perfons the laft three Tears towards compleating the Work, and of Courfe are prevented from tncreafing the Capital Stock ; the annual Inte* reft of which is the only Fund we have yet received for the Support of the Inftitution. That 17 C 55 ] That the Number of Patients, who from all Parts of the Province apply for Admittance, is lately much increafed, fo that upwards of One Thoufand Pounds is expended more than our Capital Stock ; and as the Benefits received by our diftreffed Fellow-fubjebls are daily more known and confidered, the Profpecl of our increafing Ex- pences exceeds any rational Expectations we can indulge, of hting able to fupport the Houfe, according to the original Defign, without Jome further Affiftance from the Public. We therefore recommend the prefent State of the Hofpital to your ferious Confideration, and hope the fame benevolent Difpofition on which it was founded, will flill be manifefted by the Affembly of Pennfylvania, to promote fo laudable an Inftitution, gradually becoming of the moft extenfive Service to this Part of the King's Dominions.

That in a Country, where great Numbers of indigent Foreigners have been but lately imported, and where the common DiftrefTes of Poverty have been much.increafed, by a moft favage and bloody War, there muft be many Poor, Sick, and Maimed. ........That poor People are maintained by their Labour, and, if they cannot labour, they cannot live, without the Help of the more Fortunate........We all know, many Mouths are fed, many Bodies cloathed, by one^poor Man's Induftry and Diligence ; fhould any Diftemper feize and afflict this Perfon •, mould any fudden Hurt happen to him, which mould render him incapable to follow the Bufinefs of his Calling, unfit him to work, difable him to labour but for a little Time -, or mould his Duty to his aged and difeafed Parents, or his fatherly Tenderncfs for an afflicted Child, cngrofs his Attention and Care, How great muft be the Calamity of fuch a Family ! How prefiing their Wants ! How moving their DiftrefTes 1 And how much does it behove the Community to take them immediately under their Guardianftiip, and have the Caufes of their Misfortunes as fpeedily remedied as poffible! Experience mews, this will be more effectually and frugally done in a public Hofpital, than by any other Method whatever. Can any Thing in this chequered World, afford more real and lading Satisfaction to humane Minds, than the Reflection of having made fuch a focial Ufe .of the Fa- vours of Providence, as renders them, in fome Meafure, Inftruments which open a Door of Eafe and Comfort to fuch as are bowed down with Poverty and-Sicknefs •, and which may be a Means of increafing the Number of People, and preferving ma- ny ufeful Members to the Public from Ruin and Diftrefs ? That this is a Satisfaction which the Contributors to the Pennfylvania Hofpital have a juft Claim to, all may be allured, by vifiting the Houfe, examining the Pa- tients, and confidering the extraordinary Cafes which are there received, and happily treated-, among which, it is.hoped, they will find fuffkient Inftances to convince them, that every Individual, in this and the adjacent Provinces, are interefted in the Profperity of this charitable Inftitution ; and induce them to confider, that " Riches make themfelves Wings, and flee away -, but bleffed is he that confidereth the Weak, Sick, and Needy, the Lord will deliver him in Time of Trouble." And that it is better to give Alms, than to lay up Gold. At 25 t 63 ] At the Annual Ekclion, on the 5th of Fifth Month, May, 176c.

It would be a Neglect of that Juftice which is due to the Phyficians and Sur- geons of this Hofpital, not to acknowledge, that their Care and Skill, and their punctual and regular Attendance, under the divine Bleffing, has been a prin- cipal Means of advancing this Charity to the flourifhing State in which we have now the Pleafur.e to view it. Relying on the Continuance of the Favour of Heaven,, upon the future Endea- vours of all who may be concerned in the Management of the Inftitution, for its further Advancement, we clofe this Account with the Abftract of a Sermon, preach- ed before the Governors and Subfcribers to the Infirmary at Northampton, in Great' Britain, on the 24th of September, 1750, by Thomas Hartley, Rector of Wenwick, &c. viz. ' I come, thirdly, to fpeak of Charity, under View of Beneficence to the Poor ; 1 and in this Eight we behold it in its Fruits, as the Principle called forth into Act, '•and which may therefore properly be ftiled the Exprefiion or Evidence of our Cha- 1 rity, as it refpects the temporal Wants of our needy Brethren. ' And here let it be obferved, that as true Charity always produces this Effect •to the Extent of our Power, fo it is this inward Difpofition ,that dignifies and con- 1 fecrates the outward Act: For as there may be a miftaken £eal for Religion, ' even to the giving our Bodies to be burnt for what we may call fuch, and yet * without any true Love for God in our Hearts ; fo likewife the fame Apoftle tells ' us, that we may beftow all our Goods to feed the Poor, and yet, notwithftand- * ing fuch a Diftribution, be void of the Spirit of real Charity. But I am now fpeaking, 1 of, and recommending that Kind of Beneficence, which is the Fruit of Chriftian ' Benevolence •, and among the various Occafions which offer for the Exercife of it, • the Relief of the fick and lame-Poor, under the Provision of a publick Infirmary, c is that which lays Claim to our prefent Attention. ' And here it may be remarked, in Behalf of thefe Institutions, which I think â– jiolds true of few others, even the moft excellent, that the Invention of Man has * not yet been able to furnifti us with any Objections to them *, which Argument con- cludes no lefs ftrongly for th;ir -confefted publick Utility, than for their baing ' founded.. 29 [ 6> ] * founded on the moft allowed Principles of Humanity. M.;r:y Confederations offer, * which powerfully recommend Foundations of this Kind to ouf Encouragement and 4 Support, and fome which challenge a Preference of Regard to them above moft 4 others. 4 As firft, if we confi.'er the Greatnefs of the Diftrefs......---Poverty, joined to * Sicknefs, or to an ulcerated, broken, or diflocated Frame of Body, bears doubly 4 hard upon human Nature, and 1 loquence muft fail, where fuch complicated Suf- * ferings cannot move: For a Lazarus, at the Gate, is indeed a moft affecting Ora- * tor, where the Heart is not hardened to a Degree of Infenfibility more than brutal. 4 A second Recommendation of thefe Houfes of Mercy is, that in this Exercife of ' our Bounty we are fafe, both with refpect to the Objects and the Application of it : • As to the former, due Provifion is made for fufficient Information concerning the ' Poverty of the Parties to be admitted ; And as to their bodily Maladies, there are * few Cafes which do not explain themfelves by correfponding Symptoms, or can elude * the ifcilful Obfervations of the Perfons appointed to infpect and examine them •, Co ' that it is not Pretence, but Reality, not an artful Story, but actual Diftrefs, that * here follicits our companionate Regard. 4 A third Excellency of this Charity is the Care taken to promote and expedite, in ' the beft Manner, the Cure of the Patients, by a voluntary, regular, and gratuitous * Attendance of Phyficians-and Surgeons, of approved Judgment and Character in ' their Profeflions, who, on that Account, may juftly be ftiled principal Benefactors 4 to this excellent Work, whilft we have the Satisfaction of feeing the Benefit in- 4 tended to the Poor by our Contributions taking Effect at the eafieft Expence, and * thereby rendered the more extenfive. * We read, that Almighty God, upon taking a Survey of the fix Days Work of 4 Creation, pronounced of every Thing which he had made, that it was very good : * How beautiful and perfect* then muft he have been in his better Part, for whofe * Sake all Things were created ! How excellent that Creature, who was rrra^e in the c Ima^e, and after the Likenefs of his Creator ! But he lufted after the Vanity of 4 Time, and fo loft the Riches of Eternity •, together with his Innocence, his Divine * Lio-ht and.Love, and Purity departed from him......God made Man upright, but he 4 fought out'mdny Inventions, Ecclef. vii. 29. He fought to be happy independently 1 of God, and fo loft his Happinefs in him : Hence by Nature our fad Alienation 4 from the Life of God •, inftead of heavenly Wifdom, a ferpentine Craft j inftead of 4 Divine Love, grofs and corrupt Affections ; and in the Room of that perfect Har- 4 mony in all its Powers and Faculties, which tuned the Soul to Peace, all the Difcord 4 and Rage of conflicting 1'affions......Behold, O Man! in this thy aggravated Mi- 4 fery of a diftempered Soul and Body, the Greatnefs of thy Fall, and fad Apoftacy ! 4 But behold alio the Greatnefs of Redeeming l ove, the infinite Compaffion of thy 4 fo much neglected Saviour ! who, when thou waft eaft out in the opoi Field to the 4 Loathing of thy Perfon, paffed by thee, and when be faw thee polluted in thine own 4 Blood, faid unto thee,—-Live. I paffed by 'thee, and looked upon thee ; and I fpread ' my Skirt over thee, and covered thy Vakednefs -, yea I fware unto thee, and entered 4 into a Covenant with thee, faith the Lord Gcd, and thou becamefl mine, Ezek. xv'1.5, 6, 8. 4 Thi* 30 [ 68 ] e This Difplay of our Lord and Saviour's Commiferation and Love to the fallen 1 human Race, is beautifully figured in the Mercy which the good Samaritan fhewed 4 to the poor wounded Traveller, that fell among Thieves.—The Prieft and the Le- * vite paffed by, but afforded him no Relief •, for neither the Law nor the Levitical 4 Miniftrations could avail to Man's Salvation ; fuch Help could only come from the 4 great Phyfician of Souls, and Friend of Sinners, who himfelf took our Infirmities, 4 and bare our Sickneffes, Matt. viii. 17. And the Lord that healeth is his Name, 4 Exod. xv 26. But tho' this be the Infide andSpirit of the Parable, yet the Moral * is drawn from the Outfide and Letter of it. Did the Samaritan (hew Mercy to the 4 wounded and diftrcffed Jew, miniftring to him the Means of his Cure, and defray- 4 ing the neceflary Charges of it ? Go and Do thou likewife ; be merciful after thy * Power to All, and fhew thy Love to God, by this Proof of thy Love to thy Neigh- ' bour ; For whofo hath this World's Good, and feeth his Brother have Need, and 4 fhutteth up the Bowels of his Csmpaffion from him, how dwelleth the Love of God in 4 him? 1 John iii. 17. The Application comes home to us, as Fellow-Chriftians, 4 with additional Force •, and the Occafion of our prefent Meeting gives a particular 4 Emphafis to it: And therefore let us turn our Thoughts to the Houfe of Mourning, 4 Ecclef. vii. 4. for we are told that the Heart of the Wife is there, and thence learn a 6 LeiTon of Humility, a Leflon of Gratitude, and an Exercife of Charity. 4 Were I to confider only my own Unfitnefs to be your Sollicitor this Day, I 4 ffiould have much Reafon to be diffident of Succefs ; but when I confider whofe * Caufe I plead, when I confider before whom I plead, and, above all, when I con- 4 fider in whofe Name I plead, I will not, I cannot think that 1 fhall plead in vain : ' Nor need I here to fetch any Weapons from the Armoury of Eloquence, nor feek 4 to engage the Paflions on my Side with artificial Strains of Rhetoric, feeing the In- 'firmary itfelf affords the moft perfuafive Motives to urge a companionate Relief -, 4 and it would be fuffkieht for this Purpofe, would Time permit, to fet open to 4 your View, that Theatre of Woes, where.pining Atrophy, Convulfions, agonizing 4 Throws, corroding Ulcers, the Torture of broken and diflocated Bones, and vari- 4 ous other Maladies and Difafters, incident to the human Frame, form one compli- 4 cated Scene both of vifible and audible Diftrefs. Look down, you wealthy and 4 honourable Ones, from your Height of Opulency and Splendor, and in thefe Sons ' and Daughters of Affliction acknowledge your Brethren, and own yourfelves to be 4 but Men ; for, did not he that made you make them, and did not one fafhion both in 4 the Wtmb ? Job xxxi, 15. Whilft in the Phrafe of Job, Job xxix. 6. you wafh * your Steps with Butter, and the Rock pours out to you Rivers of Oil, let the 4 Streams of your Bounty refrefh the Hearts of the Sorrowful, and your Abundance 4 be the Supplement to their V. ants.......-1 hus may you excel in Goodnefs as in 4 Greatnefs, and be accounted worthy of double Honour. 4 I nlxt addrefs my fell to you who are in a middle Station, placed fafely between 4 the two Extremes ii Affluence and Indigence, and fo poffeffed of what Agur pray- 4 ed for, Prov. xxx 8. And, as you know no Want yourfelves, extend freely your 4 Afliftance to thofe that do. The \ aw commanded to help the Beaft of our Ene- c my fallen under his Burden, Exod. xxiii. 5. bring not then a Reproach upon that â– c holy Name by which you are.called, by refufing to help a Neighbour, a Fellow- 4 Chriftian, 31 C 69 ] ' Chriftian, being burthened with his Infirmities: A Retrenchment of the Vanities, * Supen'lirtie*, or in the fafhionable Expences of Life, will amply fuppiy the Means ' of Beneficence to your diftrcfled Brethren ; and by fuch a Chriftian Pitce of Oc- 4 conomy, you will join the Practice of two Duties together, whilft to thut of 4 Charity you add Self-denial for Charity's Sake. 4 Lastly -, As to you whofe Portion in the good Things of this Life.is fmall, 4 tho' yourfelves no lefs dear to God on that Account, I muft call upon you alio for 4 a Token of your Love. It was ordained under the Law, in the Matter of Offlr- 4 ings, that the Perfon who was not able to bring a Lamb, mould bring two Tui- 4 tie-doves, or two young Pigeons, Lev. v. 7. and xii. 8. for no one was to ap- 4 pear before the Lord empty, Exod. xxiv. 20. Let not the Love of Chrift, that per- 4 feet I .aw of Liberty, lefs conftrain you: Let not the Free-will Offering of your 4 Chriftian Charity come fhort of the Command of a Jewifh Oblation: If thou haft * but a little, yet be merciful after thy Power, and do thy Diligence gladly to give of 4 that Little, Tob. iv. 8. The Little that thou giveft will fanctify the Little that 4 is left, and, truft in the Lord, thou fhalt have no Lack. 4 This Application to you all, of every Degree, on the Subject before us, comes 4 backed with a Motive of undeniable Force, viz. That our blefTcd Lord has de- 4 clared his Acceptance of that Relief which you afford to your afflicted Chriftian 4 Brethren from a Spirit of Charity, as done to himfelf; for fuch has he appointed 4 his Subftitutes for the Receipt of it i I call upon you then, for Chrift's Sake, that 4 you be ready to diftribute, willing to communicate,. 1 Tim. vi. 18. or if this Ar- 4 gument fails, there remains at leaft one, which,, if rightly laid to Heart, I am fure 4 muft prevail, which is, that we all ftand in Need of Mercy, and therefore *ought 4 to fhew it: I call upon you therefore, for your own Sakes, by the Love you bear * to your immortal Souls, that you come not fhort of the Promife of Him who hath * faid, Bleffed are the Merciful, for they fhall obtain Mercy, Matt. v. 7. 4 And now having pointed out that moft excellent Way of Charity, or Love to * God, and our Neighbour, that Gofpel. Way of Pleafantnefs, that fure Path of 4 Peace leading on to Glory, what remains but that we walk therein. We are cal- * led Chriftians, profefling one Faith, one Lord, one Baptifm : Let us fhew ourfelves â– 4 to be fuch, not in Word only, but in Deed and in Truth ; whilft our Faith work-* * eth by Love, and our Love by fhewing.Mercy to the Poor.'

The END. 40 CONTINUATION OF THE ACCOUNT OF THE Pennsylvania Hospital; From the First of May 1754, to the Fifth of May 1761. With an alphabetical LIST of the CONTRIBUTORS, and of the LEGACIES which have been bequeathed, for Pro- motion and Support thereof, from its first Rise to that Time. If there be among you a poor Man of one of thy Brethren, within any of thy Gates in thy Land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy Heart, nor shut thine Hand from thy Poor Brother. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine Heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this Thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy Works, and in all that thou puttest thine Hand unto. For the Poor shall never cease out of the Land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine Hand wide unto thy Brother, to thy Poor, and to thy Needy in thy Land. DEUT. XV. 7, 10. 11.

PHILADELPHIA: Printed by B. FRANKLIN, and D. HALL. MDCCLXI.  [ 41 ] ACCOUNT OF THE Progress of the Pennsylvania Hospital continued. AT an anniversary Meeting of the Contributors, held the Sixth of the Fifth Month, May, 1754, the following Members of this Corporation were chosen Managers and Treasurer for the Year ensuing, viz. MANAGERS. JOSHUA CROSBY, HUGH ROBERTS, JOHN SMITH, ISRAEL PEMBERTON, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, JOSEPH MORRIS, ISAAC JONES, SAMUEL RHOADS, JOHN REYNELL, EVAN MORGAN, JOSEPH FOX, WILLIAM GRANT. TREASURER, CHARLES NORRIS. On the Tenth of the same Month the said Managers met, and observing that the Term for which the Rules made for the Choice of Physicians and Surgeons was expired, and being willing to give the Contributors a fresh Opportunity of manifest- ing their Sentiments on this Matter, which in the early Establishment of the Institu- tion had been a Subject of divers Consultations and Debates, they gave public Notice in the Gazette hereof, and concluded, in the mean Time, that the same Rules should be observed and maintained, until any Twenty of the Contributors should desire they might be reconsidered at a General Meeting; but as no Application was made for this Purpose, nor any Dissatisfaction appeared, or Alteration proposed - they proceeded in the Method which had been experienced to answer the End intended, and accordingly made Choice of Doctors Thomas Bond, Phineas Bond, Thomas Cad- walader, Samuel P. Moore, John Redman, and William Shippen, to be the Physicians and Surgeons for the Year ensuing; who, being applied to, consented to engage in the Service, and agreed to class themselves in the same Manner, as heretofore. The next Matter which engaged the Attention of the Managers, was the raising further Contributions to increase the Capital Stock, and enable them to extend the F 2 Use [ 42 ] Use of this humane Institution: For which Purpose they published an Account of its Rise and Progress, to this Time; some Copies whereof they sent to London, ac- companied by the following Letter to Thomas Hyam, and Sylvanus Bevan, viz. Esteemed Friends, Philadelphia, 7th 8th Month, 1754. YOUR chearful Concurrence with us, in the Foundation of the Pennsylvania Hos- pital, so fully assures us of the Pleasure you would take in its Success and Advancement, that we determined to embrace every suitable Occasion of communicating the Accounts of our Progress: And the Public having received some Benefit, and being, we hope, gradually become more sensible of the Advantages of the Institution, it was judged expedient, besides the General State of our Accounts, to publish a Narrative of our Af- fairs from the Beginning; which being now compleated, we send you a Dozen of them, not doubting of your Friendship in distributing them in such Manner as may be of most Service; and that if you find any of your Friends disposed to contribute towards this good Work, you will promote their doing it. We salute you with Respect, and are Your real Friends. When the Nature of this charitable Design became known to the generous Penn- sylvanians, considerable Sums were soon added to the Stock, particularly by the Citizens of Philadelphia, where few of the Wealthy, or those of a middling Rank, failed of contributing according to their Circumstances: Some Benefactions were also obtained from London, and some Parts of the West-Indies, which encouraged the Managers to attempt the important Task of Building; a Task the more difficult, as they were not authorised (for good Reasons) to apply any Part of the Capital Stock to that Purpose; the Sum of Money given by the Assembly not being half sufficient, and the certain Prospect of a War in America, while it was like to increase the Occa- sion, lessened the Expectation of any further Assistance from them. Nevertheless, confiding in the same Divine Providence, which had hitherto blessed their pious En- deavours beyond their most sanguine Hopes, for Assistance to perform that Work, which was now found necessary, not only from the Increase of the Number of Pa- tients, but the Want of Conveniencies, which no private House in the City could furnish them with, they again sought for a suitable Spot of Ground to erect an Hospital on; and, after various Enquiries and Consultations, had the Satisfaction to purchase, on moderate Terms, the Lot which of all in or near the City was judged most proper for such a Design: It is bounded on three Streets, the South Front 396 Feet, and contains between three and four Acres of Ground. (Our Proprietaries are Owners of near one Acre on the North, which, if obtained, will compleat the Square, and the Prospects of four Fronts open to so many Streets, encompassing the whole Piece of Land, would then be secure.) THIS Purchase being made near the End of the Year 1754, the Managers directed a Plan of an Hospital to be prepared, that a Part might be erected the ensuing Sea- son; and one of them (after consulting the several Physicians in regard to the Situation of the Cells, and other Conveniences) drew a Design of the whole Building, suiting [ 43 ] suiting the Lot of Ground, in such Form, that one third Part might alone be executed with tolerable Symmetry; and containing, independent of the other Parts, all Accommodations requisite for the present Purpose. IN this Design is exhibited a House 62 Feet in Front, elevated above the adjoining Buildings, and projecting beyond them a suitable Distance, to cover a Colonade intended on the South-Front of the Wards, which may be decorated in such Manner as the Contributors hereafter shall think fit. ALL the Apartments for the Steward, Matron, Apothecary, &c. a large Stair- case leading to the several Wards, and many other Conveniences, may be made in this Division. ADJOINING hereto, on the East and West Ends, two Wards, each 80 Feet front, 27 Feet deep, and three Stories high. In the first Story of each Ward, the Cells for Lunatics, a Gallery the whole Length of 80 Feet, for such of them as may be trusted to walk about, with a Place for Bathing, &c. IN the second Story, the Mens Ward, with four Fire-places in each, and Venti- lators to carry off the foul Air. THE third Story like the second, but intended for the Womens Ward. THE Garret may be occasionally applied for the Use of either Sex. ADJOINING to the East and West Ends of the Wards, two Wings, each 27 Feet wide, and extending in Length, North and South, 110 Feet. IN the Middle of each Wing, opposite the Wards, a Hall 28 Feet square (in- cluding a Stair-case) projecting beyond the other Parts of the Wings, sufficient to cover their Cornice, and raised one Story above them; with a Ballustrade round the Top, and a Cupola, which may afford a secure Way out, in case of Fire. THE whole Extent, from East to West, 276 Feet; the North and South Fronts nearly alike, and, by the Length of the Wings crossing the Wards, the East and West Fronts will make an agreeable Appearance. BESIDES the additional Rooms for Cells, private Apartments for such Patients as may be improper to be received into the Great Wards, these Wings will afford many Conveniences for the Family, as Cellars, Store-rooms for Provisions, Kitchens, Landry, Lodgings for Servants, &c. THIS Design being approved by the Managers, and an Estimate made of the Ex- pence of erecting one Wing and one Ward, the Contributors were, according to Law, notified to meet on the Tenth Day of the Third Month (March) to consider the Proposal, and finally to determine thereon; and unanimously approving the im- mediate building the Parts proposed, the Managers appointed one of their own Number to provide Materials, agree with Workmen, and to superintend the Work; and a Committee to advise and assist therein, as Occasion might require: These, with one of the most capable of the Contributors, devoting themselves to the Service, united in concerting the most frugal Method of carrying on the Building, and indu- striously soliciting Contributions from all Persons concerned-herein, most of those of whom Materials were purchased contributing a large Proportion of what they furnished; and many of the Articles, though each singly, might have been supplied by one Person, were divided amongst a Number, to obtain something from each: So [ 44 ] So diligent and successful were their Application, that scarce a Tradesman, or even a Labourer, was employed in any Part of the Work or in providing the Materials, without first engaging a reasonable Part to be charitably applied in the Premises. BY these Means the appropriated Funds were greatly extended, and the Capital saved; though the Trouble to the Superintendants and Assistants was much aug- mented. THE Committee appointed to state and adjust the Accounts to this Time, made Report thereof as follows, viz. On a general State of the Accounts, it appears that Dr. The Capital Stock of the Pennsylvania Hospital. Cr.

" One of the principal Designs of this Institution, being the Care and Cure of " Lunaticks, and neither the House at present made use of as an Hospital, nor any " other that can be hired, having any convenient Apartments for that Purpose, the " Managers found themselves under a Necessity of building sooner than otherwise " they would have chosen: They have accordingly purchased a suitable Piece of " Ground, in an open airy Place, near the City, and are carrying up the Eastern " Wing of the Building (which may serve for some Years) confiding that the same " humane and charitable Disposition in the People of this Province, which encou- " raged them to begin the Work, will enable them to go thro' with it. " THOUGH the utmost Frugality is used, it appears by the Accounts that the Bal- " lance against the Stock increases annually, which it is hoped will be an Induce- " ment to such as have yet given nothing towards this good Work, to hasten their " Contributions, as well as to those Contributors who are in Arrear for Interest, to " pay the same more punctually to the Treasurer." At an ELECTION on the Fifth of the Fifth Month (May) 1755, THE same Managers and Treasurer were rechosen; who, at their first Meet- ing, on the Ninth of the same Month, nominated the same Physicians and. Surgeons; all of whom, on being applied to, chearfully engaged in the Service. CONSIDERABLE Preparation being made for beginning the New Hospital, on the 28th of this Month, the President, attended by all the Managers, the Physicians, and several Contributors, assisted in laying the first Stone of the Foundation, a large Piece of Marble, in the South-East Corner of the Eastern Wing, with the following Inscription :- In the Year of CHRIST MDCCLV GEORGE the Second happily reigning (For he sought the Happiness of his People) PHILADELPHIA Flourishing (For its Inhabitants were public-spirited) This Building, By the Bounty, of the Government, And of many private Persons, Was piously founded, For the Relief of the Sick and Miserable; May the God of Mercies Bless the Undertaking. THE Walls of the House being carried up, and the necessary Provision made for raising the Roof, the Managers attended the doing it on the 27th of Tenth Month (October) 1755.

To which the GOVERNOR returned the following ANSWER. GENTLEMEN, " THE Satisfaction you are pleased to express on my Arrival, lays me under " particular Obligations; and your good Wishes deserve my hearty Thanks. " I AM glad to find so generous and humane an Institution as yours is, managed " with so much Prudence, supported by Law, and encouraged by public and private " Benefactions. " IT will give me a sincere Pleasure, to contribute all the Means in my Power to " carry on this Charity, in the most extensive Manner.

WHO, at their first Meeting, made Choice of the same Physicians and Surgeons as last Year. DIVERS Inconveniences being found to proceed from washing the Linen, &c. of the Patients in the common Kitchen, it was concluded expedient to build a Wash- House, a small Distance from the House; a Committee was appointed to make out a Plan for Consideration of the Managers, and to provide Materials for building it, which was accordingly done, and the Work nearly compleated this Year. THE Circumstances of the Institution, and State of the Funds, occasioned a Con- ference to be held by the Managers, Treasurer and Physicians, in order to consider of Measures proper to be taken, for lessening the Expences, regulating the Diet of the Patients, and to sollicit Contributions for advancing the Capital Stock, and to defray the Charges accruing on the necessary Conveniences lately made for accommo- dating the Patients. In Consequence of which some additional Benefactions were obtained, a Bill of Diet agreed upon, and the following Address prepared by the Managers, and presented to the House of Assembly, viz. To the Honourable the REPRESENTATIVES of the Freemen of the Province of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, The ADDRESS of the Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital. Sheweth, THAT the said Hospital, founded about eight Years since, with the Approbation, and by the Assistance of the Assembly, hath been hitherto supported by the Contri- butions of private Persons; and by the Divine Blessing on the Endeavours of the Physicians, upwards of Three Hundred distressed Persons have been cured of various Dis- orders of Body and Mind, under which they had languished; and many others have been considerably relieved, and thereby restored to a Capacity of being serviceable to themselves and the Public. That the Two Thousand Pounds contributed by the Assembly, towards the Building, being long since expended, we have been under the Necessity of applying most of the Con- tributions obtained from private Persons the last three Years towards compleating the Work, and of Course are prevented from encreasing the Capital Stock; the annual Inte- rest of which is the only Fund we have yet received for the Support of the Institution. That [ 55 ] That the Number of Patients, who from all Parts of the Province apply for Admittance, is lately much increased, so that upwards of One Thousand Pounds is expended more than our Capital Stock ; and as the Benefits received by our distressed Fellow-subjects are daily more known and considered, the Prospect of our increasing Ex- pences exceeds any rational Expectations we can indulge, of being able to support the House, according to the original Design, without some further Assistance from the Public. We therefore recommend the present State of the Hospital to your serious Consideration, and hope the same benevolent Disposition on which it was founded, will still be manifested by the Assembly of Pennsylvania, to promote so laudable an Institution, gradually becoming of the most extensive Service to this Part of the King's Dominions. A COMMITTEE being appointed to examine and state the Accounts, in order to lay them before the Contributors, at their approaching Annual Meeting, reported the State thereof to be agreeable to the following Abstract.

WHICH Abstract and Accounts, were published in the Gazette of July 12, 1759; with the following Remark, viz. " FROM this View of the State of the Accounts, and by comparing the Abstract. " of the Cases with those formerly published, the Public may observe the great an- " nual Increase of the Number of Patients, and consequently of the Benefits of the " Institution; which Consideration, together with that of the additional Convenien- " ces for their Reception and Accommodation, which have been attended with " considerable Labour, and unavoidable Expence, must undoubtedly afford an equal " Degree of Satisfaction to those who are already Benefactors to this Charity; and, H 2 " we [ 58 ] " we hope, will render an Apology unnecessary to others, who have hitherto ne- " glected or deferred entering the List of Subscribers, for a Repetition of our Request " for their Assistance, in so commendable a Work; and it being impracticable to " make a personal Application to all such, especially to those who live at a Distance, " it is to be hoped no Offence will be taken, to the Prejudice of the Charity; but " that all who are disposed to contribute, will pay their Subscriptions (or enter their " intended Benefactions) to the Treasurer, or either of the Managers, as heretofore " notified. " If notwithstanding what has been frequently urged in Favour of this Institution, " such who are sensible of the undeniable Advantages of an Hospital, do yet with- " hold their Bounty, on a Supposition of the small Benefit which their Neighbour- " hood is to receive from it, they will please to consider, That they can never hope " to do any Service for their own Poor, till they have made it more practicable to " do so, by the Assistance they lend those who are already engaged in it; which is " the only probable Means of bringing the Charity nearer to themselves, and there- " fore it is much to be wished, that if they have it not in their Power to begin this " Charity at home, they would begin it in a Place where it can be well attended by " Physicians and Surgeons, and where it is necessarily formed on so large a Bottom, " as to require more Help than can be had from those only who are at Hand, many " of whom have not more interested Reasons for their Bounty, than if they lived in " a distant Country; their Motives being to promote a Spirit of Goodness and Hu- " manity, which may extend itself on every Side, by administring the most effectual " Relief to all deserving Objects, without considering from whence they come.- " They are encouraged to do it, by the great Success which hath attended this good " Work in every other Place; the moral, religious, and civil Benefits of which, " being visible, certain, and lasting, do immediately tend to the Honour of the " Christian Religion, and the Happiness of Mankind." ON the Seventh of Fifth Month (May) 1759, the following Members of this Corporation were elected Managers and Treasurer, viz. JOHN REYNELL, THOMAS GORDON, SAMUEL RHOADS, STEPHEN SHEWALL, JAMES PEMBERTON, ISAAC GREENLEAF, EVAN MORGAN, ISREAL PEMBERTON, SAMUEL MIFFLIN, JOSEPH RICHARDSON, JACOB LEWIS, CHARLES JONES, And HUGH ROBERTS, TREASURER. The same Physicians and Surgeons as heretofore were again made Choice of, ex- cept Dr. Samuel Preston Moore, who signified his Desire of declining to serve longer, expecting other Business would prevent his being able to give due Attendance, Dr. Cadwalader Evans was therefore proposed, and appointed in his Stead, who engaged in the Service.

The Contributions which have been generously made this Year, have enabled the Manners to proceed in compleating some necessary Conveniences, which were im- mediately wanted, and to receive and entertain a much larger Number of Patients in [ 62 ] in the House, than their Stock would permit before, and if the Spirit of Charity towards this Institution continues, with equal Warmth hereafter, it will soon become more extensively useful. - To give it its proper Weight with the Public, let it be considered, that in a City of large Trade, many poor People must be employed in carrying on a Commerce, which subjects them to frequent terrible Accidents. - That in a Country, where great Numbers of indigent Foreigners have been but lately imported, and where the common Distresses of Poverty have been much increased, by a most savage and bloody War, there must be many Poor, Sick, and Maimed. - That poor People are maintained by their Labour, and, if they cannot labour, they cannot live, without the Help of the more Fortunate. - We all know, many Mouths are fed, many Bodies cloathed, by one poor Man's Industry and Diligence; should any Distemper seize and afflict this Person; should any sudden Hurt happen to him, which should render him incapable to follow the Business of his Calling, unfit him to work, disable him to labour but for a little Time; or should his Duty to his aged and diseased Parents, or his fatherly Tenderness for an afflicted Child, engross his Attention and Care, How great must be the Calamity of such a Family! How pressing their Wants! How moving their Distresses! And how much does it behove the Community to take them immediately under their Guardianship, and have the Causes of their Misfortunes as speedily remedied as possible! Experience shews, this will be more effectually and frugally done in a public Hospital, than by any other Method whatever. CAN any Thing in this chequered World, afford more real and lasting Satisfaction to humane Minds, than the Reflection of having made such a social Use of the Fa- vours of Providence, as renders them, in some Measure, Instruments which open a Door of Ease and Comfort to such as are bowed down with Poverty and Sickness, and which may be a Means of increasing the Number of People, and preserving ma- ny useful Members to the Public from Ruin and Distress? THAT this is a Satisfaction which the Contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital have a just Claim to, all may be assured, by visiting the House, examining the Pa- tients, and considering the extraordinary Cases which are there received, and happily treated; among which, it is hoped, they will find sufficient Instances to convince them, that every Individual, in this and the adjacent Provinces, are interested in the Prosperity of this charitable Institution; and induce them to consider, that " Riches make themselves Wings, and flee away; but blessed is he that considereth the Weak, Sick, and Needy, the Lord will deliver him in Time of Trouble." And that it is better to give Alms, than to lay up Gold. At [ 63 ] At the Annual Election, on the 5th of Fifth Month, May, 1760. JOHN REYNELL, SAMUEL RHOADS, JOSEPH RICHARDSON, ISAAC JONES, JAMES PEMBERTON, JACOB LEWIS, EVAN MORGAN, THOMAS GORDON, JOHN MEAS, ISRAEL PEMBERTON, CHARLES JONES, ISAAC GREENLEAFE, Were chosen MANAGERS, and HUGH ROBERTS, TREASURER. AND the Physicians and Surgeons for the present Year, made Choice of by the Managers, were Dr. Thomas Bond, Phineas Bond, Thomas Cadwallader, John Redman, William Shippen, and Cadwalader Evans; who manifested their usual Re- gard to the Institution, by undertaking the Service, and continuing their diligent Care and Attention thereto. BY a Letter from Thomas Hyam, Merchant, in London, dated the 7th of Sixth Month, the Managers were notified, That in an Act of Parliament lately passed, entituled, " An Act for vesting certain Estates in Pennsylvania, New-Jersey, and " Maryland, belonging to the Proprietors of a Partnership, commonly called, The " Pennsylvania Land-Company in London, in Trustees to be sold; and for other Pur- " poses therein mentioned," he had been instrumental in the proposing and obtaining a Clause for granting to this Hospital, the Sum of Money which will remain unclaim- ed on the 24th of Sixth Month, 1770, arising from the Sale of the said Estate. THE Managers being desirous to testify their grateful Sense of this Instance of Regard and Friendship, embraced an early Opportunity of returning their Acknow- ledgments to the said Gentleman, for his favourable Notice of our Hospital; and at the same Time acquainted him with the present Circumstance of our Stock, and a Summary Account of the general State of the Charity.

IT would be a Neglect of that Justice which is due to the Physicians and Sur- geons of this Hospital, not to acknowledge, that their Care and Skill, and their punctual and regular Attendance, under the divine Blessing, has been a prin- cipal Means of advancing this Charity to the flourishing State in which we have now the Pleasure to view it. RELYING on the Continuance of the Favour of Heaven, upon the future Endea- vours of all who may be concerned in the Management of the Institution, for its further Advancement, we close this Account with the Abstract of a Sermon, preach- ed before the Governors and Subscribers to the Infirmary at Northampton, in Great- Britain, on the 24th of September, 1750, by Thomas Hartley, Rector of Wenwick, &c. viz. ' I COME, thirdly, to speak of Charity, under View of Beneficence to the Poor; ' and in this Light we behold it in its Fruits, as the Principle called forth into Act, ' and which may therefore properly be stiled the Expression or Evidence of our Cha- ' rity, as it respects the temporal Wants of our needy Brethren. ' AND here let it be observed, that as true Charity always produces this Effect ' to the Extent of our Power, so it is this inward Disposition, that dignifies and con- ' secrates the outward Act: For as there may be a mistaken Zeal for Religion, ' even to the giving our Bodies to be burnt for what we may call such, and yet ' without any true Love for God in our Hearts; so likewise the same Apostle tells ' us, that we may bestow all our Goods to feed the Poor, and yet, notwithstand- ' ing such a Distribution, be void of the Spirit of real Charity. But I am now speaking, ' of, and recommending that Kind of Beneficence, which is the Fruit of Christian ' Benevolence; and among the various Occasions which offer for the Exercise of it, ' the Relief of the sick and lame Poor, under the Provision of a publick Infirmary, ' is that which lays Claim to our present Attention. ' AND here it may be remarked, in Behalf of these Institutions, which I think ' holds true of few others, even the most excellent, that the Invention of Man has ' not yet been able to furnish us with any Objections to them ; which Argument con- ' cludes no less strongly for their confessed publick Utility, than for their being ' founded [ 67 ] ' founded on the most allowed Principles of Humanity. Many Considerations offer, ' which powerfully recommend Foundations of this Kind to our Encouragement and ' Support, and some which challenge a Preference of Regard to them above most ' others. ' As first, if we consider the Greatness of the Distress. - Poverty, joined to ' Sickness, or to an ulcerated, broken, or dislocated Frame of Body, bears doubly ' hard upon human Nature, and Eloquence must fail, where such complicated Suf- ' ferings cannot move: For a Lazarus, at the Gate, is indeed a most affecting Ora- ' tor, where the Heart is not hardened to a Degree of Insensibility more than brutal. ' A SECOND Recommendation of these Houses of Mercy is, that in this Exercise of ' our Bounty we are safe, both with respect to the Objects and the Application of it: ' As to the former, due Provision is made for sufficient Information concerning the ' Poverty of the Parties to be admitted; And as to their bodily Maladies, there are ' few Cases which do not explain themselves by corresponding Symptoms, or can elude ' the skilful Observations of the Persons appointed to inspect and examine them; so ' that it is not Pretence, but Reality, not an artful Story, but actual Distress, that ' here sollicits our compassionate Regard. ' A THIRD Excellency of this Charity is the Care taken to promote and expedite, in ' the best Manner, the Cure of the Patients, by a voluntary, regular, and gratuitous ' Attendance of Physicians and Surgeons, of approved Judgment and Character in ' their Professions, who, on that Account, may justly be stiled principal Benefactors ' to this excellent Work, whilst we have the Satisfaction of seeing the Benefit in- ' tended to the Poor by our Contributions taking Effect at the easiest Expence, and ' thereby rendered the more extensive. ' WE read, that Almighty God, upon taking a Survey of the six Days Work of ' Creation, pronounced of every Thing which he had made, that it was very good: ' How beautiful and perfect then must he have been in his better Part, for whose ' Sake all Things were created! How excellent that Creature, who was made in the ' Image, and after the Likeness of his Creator! But he lusted after the Vanity of ' Time, and so lost the Riches of Eternity; together with his Innocence, his Divine ' Light and Love, and Purity departed from him - God made Man upright, but he ' sought out many Inventions, Eccles. vii. 29. He sought to be happy independently ' of God, and so lost his Happiness in him: Hence by Nature our sad Alienation ' from the Life of God; instead of heavenly Wisdom, a serpentine Craft; instead of ' Divine Love, gross and corrupt Affections; and in the Room of that perfect Har- ' mony in all its Powers and Faculties, which tuned the Soul to Peace, all the Discord ' and Rage of conflicting Passions - Behold, O Man! in this thy aggravated Mi- ' sery of a distempered Soul and Body, the Greatness of thy Fall, and sad Apostacy! ' But behold also the Greatness of Redeeming Love, the infinite Compassion of thy ' so much neglected Saviour! who, when thou wast cast out in the open Field to the ' Loathing of thy Person, passed by thee, and when he saw thee polluted in thine own ' Blood, said unto thee, - Live. I passed by thee, and looked upon thee; and I spread ' my Skirt over thee, and covered thy Nakedness; yea I sware unto thee, and entered ' into a Covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine, Ezek. xvi. 5, 6, 8. ' THIS [ 68 ] ' THIS Display of our Lord and Saviour's Commiseration and Love to the fallen ' human Race, is beautifully figured in the Mercy which the good Samaritan shewed ' to the poor wounded Traveller, that fell among Thieves. - The Priest and the Le- ' vite passed by, but afforded him no Relief; for neither the Law nor the Levitical ' Ministrations could avail to Man's Salvation; such Help could only come from the ' great Physician of Souls, and Friend of Sinners, who himself took our Infirmities, ' and bare our Sicknesses, Matt. viii. 17. And the Lord that healeth is his Name, ' Exod. xv 26. But tho' this be the Inside and Spirit of the Parable, yet the Moral ' is drawn from the Outside and Letter of it. Did the Samaritan shew Mercy to the ' wounded and distressed Jew, ministring to him the Means of his Cure, and defray- ' ing the necessary Charges of it? Go and Do thou likewise be merciful after thy ' Power to All, and shew thy Love to God, by this Proof of thy Love to thy Neigh- ' bour; For whoso hath this World's Good, and seeth his Brother have Need, and ' shutteth up the Bowels of his Compassion from him, how dwelleth the Love of God in ' him? I John iii. 17. The Application comes home to us, as Fellow-Christians, ' with additional Force; and the Occasion of our present Meeting gives a particular ' Emphasis to it: And therefore let us turn our Thoughts to the House of Mourning, ' Eccles. viii. 4. for we are told that the Heart of the Wise is there, and thence learn a ' Lesson of Humility, a Lesson of Gratitude, and an Exercise of Charity. ' WERE I to consider only my own Unfitness to be your Sollicitor this Day, I ' should have much Reason to be diffident of Success; but when I consider whose ' Cause I plead, when I consider before whom I plead, and, above all, when I con- ' sider in whose Name I plead, I will not, I cannot think that I shall plead in vain: ' Nor need I here to fetch any Weapons from the Armoury of Eloquence, nor seek ' to engage the Passions on my Side with artificial Strains of Rhetoric, seeing the In- ' firmary itself affords the most persuasive Motives to urge a companionate Relief; ' and it would be sufficient for this Purpose, would Time permit, to set open to ' your View, that Theatre of Woes, where pining Atrophy, Convulsions, agonizing ' Throws, corroding Ulcers, the Torture of broken and dislocated Bones, and vari- ' ous other Maladies and Disasters, incident to the human Frame, form one compli- ' cated Scene both of visible and audible Distress. Look down, you wealthy and ' honourable Ones, from your Height of Opulency and Splendor, and in these Sons ' and Daughters of Affliction acknowledge your Brethren, and own yourselves to be ' but Men; for, did not he that made you make them, and did not one fashion both in ' the Womb? Job XXXI. 15. Whilst in the Phrase of Job, Job xxix. 6. you wash ' your Steps with Butter, and the Rock pours out to you Rivers of Oil, let the ' Streams of your Bounty refresh the Hearts of the Sorrowful, and your Abundance ' be the Supplement to their Wants. - Thus may you excel in Goodness as in ' Greatness, and be accounted worthy of double Honour. ' I NEXT address myself to you who are in a middle Station, placed safely between ' the two Extremes of Affluence and Indigence, and so possessed of what Agur pray- ' ed for, Prov. XXX 8. And, as you know no Want yourselves, extend freely your ' Assistance to those that do. The Law commanded to help the Beast of our Ene- ' my fallen under his Burden, Exod. xxiii. 5. bring not then a Reproach upon that ' holy Name by which you are called, by refusing to help a Neighbour, a Fellow- ' Christian, [ 69 ] ' Christian, being burthened with his Infirmities: A Retrenchment of the Vanities, ' Superfluiities, or in the fashionable Expences of Life, will amply supply the Means ' of Beneficence to your distressed Brethren; and by such a Christian Piece of Oe- ' conomy, you will join the Practice of two Duties together, whilst to that of ' Charity you add Self-denial for Charity's Sake. ' LASTLY; As to you whose Portion in the good Things of this Life is small, ' tho' yourselves no less dear to God on that Account, I must call upon you also for ' a Token of your Love. It was ordained under the Law, in the Matter of Offer- ' ings, that the Person who was not able to bring a Lamb, should bring two Tur- ' tle-doves, or two young Pigeons, Lev. v. 7. and xii. 8. for no one was to ap- ' pear before the Lord empty, Exod. xxiv. 20. Let not the Love of Christ, that per- ' fect Law of Liberty, less constrain you: Let not the Free-will Offering of your ' Christian Charity come short of the Command of a Jewish Oblation: If thou hast ' but a little, yet be merciful after thy Power, and do thy Diligence gladly to give of ' that Little, Tob. iv. 8. The Little that thou givest will sanctify the Little that ' is left, and, trust in the Lord, thou shalt have no Lack. ' THIS Application to you all, of every Degree, on the Subject before us, comes ' backed with a Motive of undeniable Force, viz. That our blessed Lord has de- ' clared his Acceptance of that Relief which you afford to your afflicted Christian ' Brethren from a Spirit of Charity, as done to himself; for such has he appointed ' his Substitutes for the Receipt of it; I call upon you then, for Christ's Sake, that ' you be ready to distribute, willing to communicate, I Tim. vi. 18. or if this Ar- ' gument fails, there remains at least one, which, if rightly laid to Heart, I am sure ' must prevail, which is, that we all stand in Need of Mercy, and therefore ought ' to shew it: I call upon you therefore, for your own Sakes, by the Love you bear ' to your immortal Souls, that you come not short of the Promise of Him who hath ' said, Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain Mercy, Matt. v. 7. ' AND now having pointed out that most excellent Way of Charity, or Love to ' God, and our Neighbour, that Gospel Way of Pleasantness, that sure Path of ' Peace leading on to Glory, what remains but that we walk therein. We are cal- ' led Christians, professing one Faith, one Lord, one Baptism: Let us shew ourselves ' to be such, not in Word only, but in Deed and in Truth; whilst our Faith work- ' eth by Love, and our Love by shewing Mercy to the Poor.'
