To th Ricgut HONOURABLE 
The Earl of NORTHUMBERLAND. 
My LORD,

ftand accompanied, ’tis becaufe I addrefs you under a 
greater; PATRON OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE: nor fhall I 
{top there, fince I may add that higheft of all human titles, 
FATHER OF THE Distressep. To have raifed a little hofpi- 
tal to the full ufe and purpofe of the moft eftablifhed charities, 
is more than to have amaffed the total ftores of knowledge; or 
to have received all the diftinGtions in the power of Kings.
