WHich 70 pound 8. shillings 6. pence, together with 30. pound added thereunto by an unknown person, for the furtherance of the said free School, was paid unto the Right honourable Henry Earl of Southampton, for the honourable Company of Virginia, at their great and general Quarter Court, held the 21. of Nouem. 1621. And the said Court, for the better maintenance of the said School, Schoolmaster, and Usher intended there to be placed, granted 1000 acres of land to the said free School, to be at Charles City, as the most commodious place for health, security, profit, and conveniency: And appointed that with the said 100 pound 8. shillings 6. pence, there should be sent over presently an Usher, for the instructing of the children there, in the principles of Religion, civility of life, and humane learning: as also that five persons (besides an overseer of them) should be forthwith sent in the condition of Apprentices, to manure and cultivate some part of the said land, for the use and benefit of the said Usher, till God stirred up the hearts of others to be further helpful to the said School.  
Likewise the said honourable Virginia Court thought fit in honour of the said East-India Benefactors, the said free School should be built, and the said 1000 acres set out in Charles City, to be called The East-India School: And that the East-India Companies servants, should have precedence before any other, to prefer their children thither, to be brought up in the rudiments of learning.  
They thought fit also, that this (as a Collegiate or free School) should have dependence on Henrico College in Virginia, which should be made capable to receive Scholars from the School, into such Scholarships and Fellowships as the said College shall be endowed withal, for the advancement of Scholars, as they shall rise by degrees and desert in learning.  
There was since by a person refusing to be named, sent into the great and general Quarter Court held for Virginia, the 30. of january 1●21. 25. pound toward the furtherance of this godly work: So that now there is in all 125. pound 8. shillings 6. pence.  They that be wise, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the Stars for ever and ever, Dan. 12. 3. 
For public actions of virtue, besides that they are presently comfortable to the doers, are also exemplary to others; and as they are more beneficial to others, so are they crowned in us: our principal care should be, that while our souls live in glory in heaven, our good actions may live upon earth, and that they may be put into the bank and multiply, while our bodies lie in the grave and putrify.  
Whosoever shall receive such a little child in my name, receiveth me, Mat. 18. 5.
