Excerpt from The Blessings and Duties of Those That Have Put on Christ: A Sermon Preached in the Church of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, Sunday, November 27, 1842

Although I can hardly allow myself to join in the belief expressed to me by some of your number, that the following Sermon will be of much service to the charity you so carefully watch over, I have great pleasure in putting it at your disposal, as a proof that I would fain endeavour, so far as I can, to fulfil your expectation.

Let me therefore take the opportunity which is thus afforded me, of calling attention to the words of your Report, in which you point out what seems to me to be the support chiefly required for the effectual maintenance of the Schools. After stating the nature and extent of your charity as follows, In the Ward Schools, instituted in the year 1702, 150 boys and 150 girls are wholly clothed, and are taught reading, writ ing, and arithmetic, and the girls needlework - the boys, when of sufficient age, are apprenticed to mas ters approved by the committee, - I find it said, that there is a heavy debt due on the school-account and if the funds shall not be increased by a large addition of the annual subscriptions, the committeewill not be able to continue the clothing to its pre sent extent.
