CHildren kept and maintained at this present, at the Charge of Christ's hospital in the said House, in diverse places of this City and suburbs, and with sundry Nurses in the country— 758  
The Names of all which are registered in the books kept in Christ's hospital, there to be seen from what Parishes, and by what means they have been from time to time admitted.  
Children put forth Apprentices, discharged, and dead this year last past— 100  
In respect of the troubles of the times, the means of the said hospital hath very much failed for want of charitable Benevolences, which formerly have been given, and are now ceased, and very few Legacies are now given to Hospitals, the Rents and Revenues thereunto belonging being also very ill paid; besides the want of bringing Cloth and other Manufactures to London, which have formerly been brought to Blackwell-Hall, the Hallage whereof was a great part of the poor children's Maintenance, which being decayed, by these and other means, the said hospital hath not been able to take in any Children for two years past.  
THere hath been Cured this year last 〈◊〉, at the Charge of St. Barthol●mewes hospital of maimed soldiers, and other diseased Persons, to the number of— 1122  
All which have been relieved with Money and other necessaries at their departure.

Remaining under Cure at this present, at the Charge of the said hospital.— 249  
THere hath been Cured at the Charge of St. Thomas hospital, this year last past, of diseased Persons, whereof a great number have been soldiers, who have been relieved with money and other necessaries at their departure— 1063  
Buried this year after much charge in the time of their sickness— 248

THere hath been brought to the hospital of Bridewell, within the space of one whole year last past, of cavaliers, and wandering soldiers, and other vagrant people, to the number of— 1128  
Many whereof have been very chargeable to the said hospital, for apparel, sick diet, and Surgery, besides their ordinary diet, and other provisions and charges expended about them, which could not be avo●ded, by reason of their necessities. And there are now kept and maintained in Arts and Occupations, and other several works and labours, at the charge of the said hospital, to the number of 134 Apprentices, and other Persons.  
The hospital of Bethlem is of great antiquity use and necessity, for keeping and curing distracted persons, who are of all other the most miserable, by reason of their wants, both for soul and body, and have no sense thereof.  
That the charge thereof is very great, there being kept and maintained with physic, diet, and other relief, 44 distracted persons, constantly at least, and the rents and revenues thereof very small, not amounting to two third parts of the yearly charge, and therefore is a fit object of Charity.
