{chools, in addition to thofe eftablifhed: by the parochial clergy; 
might be neceflary in their refpective counties, but would 
alfo, in all probability, be fufficiently zealous to promote in- 
ftitutions. which fo obvioufly tend to the reformation of mian- -

Tue money neceflary for the payment of the ftated fala- 
ries of mafters and miftrefles, beyond that afforded by the 
clergy, fhould perhaps be raifed by parliament. But the re- 
mainder: of their recompenfe cannot be conveniently raifed in 
the fame way; becaufe the amount of it, being to depend on 
the number of fcholars, which may probably be very variable 
in different’ diftriéts, cannot ‘be exaétly. afcertained: This is 
the money which I propofe to ‘be raiféd by prefentment of ©

in general, a falary of £.12 a year, a houfe, and a few other advantages.
