TO ALL Fathers of Noble Families and Lovers of virtue  
SIR Balthazer Gerbier desires once more that the public may be pleased to take notice of his great labours, and endeavours, by the Erection of an Academy on bednal Green without Algate; And as he conceives that he hath at large informed the public that in the said Academy the chief, Famous foreign Languages, Sciences, and Noble Exercises shall be taught.  
That all Lovers of virtue, of what Age soever, shall be received, and Instructed, and that every one of them may select such Studies, Exercises, and Sciences, as are most consonant to his Genius.  
That public Lectures shall be there read Gratis, on the said Languages, and Sciences; and that every Wednesday in the afternoon, in Summer at three, and in winter at two of the Clock, and that also a competent number of decayed Families children, shall be there taught gratis: So that as at present there remains nothing more to be declared on the same, but to represent how that all Lovers of virtue are bound both for honour's sake the cherishment of virtue, their own profits and improvements, Now to embrace that which is so really and sincerely proffered unto them, as well for the glory and honour of this Nation; As that by this means all Lovers of virtue may be freed from all those dangers, and inconveniences incident to Travellers, who repair unto foreign parts to improve themselves, leaving the honour of their Education unto Strangers, Both with the hazard of being shaken in the fundamental points of their Religion, and their Innate Loyalty to their Native Country. That also the main Motives which caused the said Sir Balthazar Gerbier to present unto the public all those Languages, and Sciences, which are to be taught in his Academy, are these, viz. That no foreign parts may have just cause to glory (to the disparagement of this Nation) that they solely possess these abovementioned Qualities.  
So that it now proves a matter of great concernment to this Nation; not only seriously to reflect on these proffers; But to embrace them vigorously, and constantly to countenance and promote them; since that the Languages declared to be taught in this Academy are, viz. Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, High Dutch, and Low Dutch, Both Ancient and Modern Histories, jointly with the constitutions and Governments of the most famous Empires and Dominions in the world; the true natural and experimental Philosophy, the mathematics, arithmetic, and the keeping of books of Accounts by Creditor and debtor. All Excellent hand-writing, geometry, Cosmography Geography, Perspective, Architecture, Secret motions of Scenes, Fortifications, The Besieging and Defending of Places, fireworks, Marches of Armies, Ordering of battles, Fencing, Vaulting, Riding the Great Horse, music, Playing on all sorts of Instruments, Dancing, Drawing, Painting, Limning, and Carving, &c.  
At Robert Ibbitsons' House (in Smithfield, near Hosier Lane) shall be had constantly in Print, the public Lectures, after they shall have been first Read at the Academy, where they are Composed for the good of the public.
