London for the terme of Seaven yeares from Midsomer 1693 att the
yearely rent of Thirty pounds payable quarterly but this house
is att the charge of putting the same Tenement in tennantable
repaire and pay a moiety of the charge of the party walls.
£15. P ann to Mr. Bradford
And Wee do recommend it to this Court as our humble opinion
That it is very necessary that Mr. Bradford the Minister of St. Thomas
parish have a convenient habitacon in that parish in order to his
better discharging his duty to the parishioners And untill that bee
provided that this Court will allow him Fifteene pounds P Ann
from Lady day last for the rent of a house in or neare the said
parish as hath bin done to others to continue during the pleasure
of this Court.
about Buildings
And Wee also humbly lay before the consideracon of this
Court the decaied State and condicon of the most part of the
Buildings of this house for recepcon of patients which occasions
an Annall great expence in repaires and the greatest Wards
being in a lofty old building are very cold notwithstanding the
greatest care taken to prevent it which therefore in our opinions
rendered it necessary that a principall parte att least of the old
buildings ought to bee demolished and more convenient lodgings
made to entertaine the patients.
£250. P ann to Mr:
Davis Apothecary
And Wee further offer to this Tourf as our opinion That from the
time Mr. Davis our present Apothecary
hath bin in that
imployment hee bee allowed after the rate of Two hundred and
Fifty pounds P Ann for druggs medicines and service with
allowance of coales and a labourer as others have had during
the pleasure of this Court And wee do also humbly represent to this
Court That wee think it reasonable to recomend to the
consideracon of this Court the extraordinary care and pains of
the Doctor and Surgeons
for some yeares past by reason of the
great multitude of patients both Souldiers Seamen and others
And also the extraordinary charge of the Apothecary in reward of
the great number of patients within and without the house
especially considering the dearnes of druggs.
