Dr. Mead resigned

Dr: Mead Chosen
a Govr:

Termes Acknowledged himselfe to be under very Great Obligations to
the Governours of this Hospitall Who were pleased by their early
Favours to Elect him for One of their Physicians And to this next under
the Divine Providence He Imputed the Success which has since Attended
him in his Practice He Expressed the Outmost Affection and Concerne
for the Service and Welfare of this Charity And he having always
hitherto very Exactly Discharged his Duty towards the Poor But
now by the Turne his Business has lately taken being Oblidged to
Reside at a Great Distance from the Hospitall which will
unavoidably prevent that Attendance for the time to come which
is necessary from a Physician of this House He therefore Proposed
That the Governours (if they so pleased) should Appoint some
other Physician who might more Constantly Attend the Service
than he now can But that He himselfe would likewise take all
Opportunities he could to Give his Assistance and Advice And that
the Appointing another Physician in this manner should be no
New Charge to the House He himselfe not Expecting any Allowance
for his future Service Or if the Governours should think it
more proper to Elect another Physitian in his Roome He was
willing to Submitt himselfe to their Pleasure therein Wee having
Considered these Proposalls And being fully satisfied That Dr.
Mead has with Great Diligence and Application Discharged
his Duty as One of Our Physicians And being Sensible That he
cannot longer Continue that Diligence without extraordinary
prejudice to him in his Private Practice Wee Unanimously
Desired Mr. Treasurer to Give him our Thanks for his Good
Services and to present him a Green Staffe Wee Esteeming
him very fitt and worthy to be a Governour who has so well
Acquitted himselfe in the Ministeriall part of this Charity
But nevertheless Wee requested him That He would make
use of all Opportunities that conveniently he can to Visitt
this Hospitall and to Give his Advice and Assistance as
Occasion should require Which he readily Agreed to Looking
upon himselfe still further Oblidged by this Additionall favour
of taking him into the Number of Governours to Do all that
He can for the Good and Service of this House And Wee humbly
Recommend it to this Court as Our Opinion That Another
Physician should on this Occasion be forthwith Chosen And
Mr. John Girle< no role > On of Our Surgeons being lately Dead Wee
Recommend it to this Court to Choose another Surgeon in
his Roome.

12. Janry. 1714.
All which nevertheless Wee humbly Submitt to the
Grave Judgment of this Worshipfull Court.
