A DELINEATION of the LADY'S HOSPITAL at HIGHGATE  
The Title (The Ladies &c) no Diminution, but Honour to it, witness Two Sacred Monuments in their Honour; The Praise of the Virtuous Lady by Solomon, Jedidiah or the Lords Beloved; the Epistle to the Elect Lady by John the Beloved Disciple.  
This Delineation of a Model, though in the Dust, as the most moving Petition to Revive the work, and Rescue the Petitioner is humbly Dedicated to those Honble: Persons, of what Degree soever; who have by their Contributions at the very time; By their Promises; By their Approbation under their Hands; By their Acceptation of Small Presents; obliged themselves, I humbly Say, to God, and not to Man in so Pious a work, or who may by their Piety, and Charity, become favourers of it. By W.B. Who at, first, and ever since Own'd himself only the most Humbly Petitioner for so Great a Work, and yet when he first Designed it, was worth 6000, in a full Trade and free from any Encumbering Debt; But by Provision for his Family; By Purchases and Buildings for this Work, By an Essay of the Design, in the Maintenance of Children at this School, above two years, By Presents to Persons of Honour, and Piety, hath Expended 5000 & was for Debts contracted, only for this Hospital, and well enough Secured▪ Seized Imprisoned, above Two years, Just at the Heiyht of his Expencee, before his Receipt of the Promised Assistances, to have Repaid hiim and Enabled the Work. All these so nigh together are fronted by a Pleasant Green or Square.  
This Petitioner was never disloyal, but did some good Seruis, as may appear by a Noble Earl, and the late Duke of Albermarl● hand, and Seal.  
yet he cannot but think, the hand of God hath been against his Son, for being Persuaded, to Oppose this so good a design, as well, as Afflictions in many families, who should have in y ● buisiness  
O Lord, who hast taught us, that all our doings without Charity, are nothing worth, send thy holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of Charity, the very bond of Peace, and of all virtues, without which whosoever Liveth, is accounted d●●● before thee grant this for thy only Son jesus Christ his sake Amen.  
But truer Charity was never Endeavoured towards your Children, since the Parishes were in being  
Pray Gentlemen of the Destr●●●… peruse your P●ayer in a Frame given you in the year 82▪  
Dorchester House, Mortgaged 1200li. cost 1700. worth 2000 li Buying, and four sold for this design.  
If the Reverend doctors with the Vestries would be so Semaritanly kind as to 〈◊〉 one to Solicit for this in each Parish it might be a Soul Mercy, to their poor, children, and even raise this to the perpetual Praise of our Most excellent Religion  
HIGH GATEHOUSE  
H This Dorchester House Intended for Maiden Children TWO: where may be Contrived, in a long Apartment, a Hall under, and two Stories of Lodgings over, of 130 foot long KK Its walks, and Grounds, ten Acres, where Tenements for citizens Summer's Reception, might have raised a good Revenue to the Hospital: For the sake of coveting this and the Mansion house from it, the whole Design was Rauaged, and my Family set against me to Obstruct all Charity keeping me in Prison to force the Sale of all for the Advantage of 2 or 3 Mortgagees  
There are 6 Tenements new built, besides there's inviting ground for 10 or 12 more with Gardens, if any of the 6 Parishis' would buy, or build, an house, as a Rent for their Poor, it might probably cause ten times more, to be built, or given to their poor it being to much in the eye of the Charitable Gentry, and so as all debts and Mortgage● is might be paid of, with 23 or 24●0 li would do, the buildings, Land, and houses b'ing Still worth three times, the money for this design an eqiutable Title in me, to dispose of all, as firm as the Earth, on which it stand find hope it will be so Judged So that these Parishes will likely neue● have a better Opportunity to do their Children good whilst the Hills reman, and let this be as, a Memorial to hang in your houses, against Such as have or would betray it  
And a further observation of Providence etc.  
But yet cannot but hope the Reuerd Doctors: will perswade the Mortgagees to take the just deuce or equity enforce it  
No building ever abused like this, and yet reported to be fallen down, and I Mad, to discourage all assistance.  
If Sr Francis Pemberton, Fran: Blake●ny Bro: Mr Will m Ashurst, Draper, 〈…〉 Mortgagees, would yet comply, all might 〈◊〉 go Immediately forward, with some 100 li annual advantage in the Town of Highgate.  
This, long building; Mortgagd 150, apprised moderately at 940li. worth for this design double EE this house and ground; Morgg: 560li. cost 900li. worth for this much more.  
The Buildings Erected for the School House with its two halls Its Lodgings above DD It's Well formed School It's Green for Recreation EE The Mansion House of the Petitioner first only a Summers' Recess from London, which having that great, and Noble City, with its Numerous Childhood, under view gave the first thought, to him of so great a Design: Intended now for Lodgings of Retgrement for Such as by His Mat ies: Favour might be Governors of the Hospital.  
FF Its Gardens to train up Some Youth to that Service:  
GG Its Grounds being 8 Acres: all adjoining to the house All these Dedicated by a Solemn Devotion to God, and cannot be Andniazed, and Sapphiraed, being so uncontrovertible a Good purpose without their Sin.  
'tis humbly prayed, that such as may be willing, to Subscribe or get any thing Subscribed, towards Retriueing or Raising y s Charitable work, would send to the Reverend Doctr; Lecturer, Churchwarden, or Vestry of St Gylsis St Clements, St Paul's, or the Savoy.
