3.At the Comencement of the late Warr Especially after the Ld: Torringtons<lb></lb>
Engagement upon our frequent Visitacon of the Hospitall Wee found great Numbers<lb></lb>

reason of Amputacon and lingring Distempers; Wee promissed them for their<lb></lb>
Encouragement a Suitable Compensation Which they yearly sollicited but never<lb></lb>
obtained any</p>
