May God's Kingdom be established in the true Church _in America_, as
well as _England_; and may it be truly said, _blessed be the Lord God
of_ Shem; for his is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, for ever and
ever. _Amen._

APPENDIX.

It being observed by some Gentlemen of Distinction, that in the
foregoing Account of _Virginia_, I hinted at some Things, wherein
Addition, Alteration, or Improvement of some Methods and Laws, seem'd
absolutely requisite for the Advancement of Religion and Learning, and
the Promotion of Arts and Trade; it was therefore thought not improper
to annex the following Schemes upon those Subjects; wherein I deliver my
Sentiments in as free and plain a Manner as I can, specifying what
Redundancies or Deficiencies occur to my Opinion; and humbly
recommending such Measures as my Imagination dictates to be most proper
for the Interest and Prosperity of _Virginia_, &c. in Conjunction with
the publick Good of _Great Britain_.

The first of these Schemes, I submit with the greatest Humility, to the
candid Censure and Consideration of his Grace the Archbishop of
_Canterbury_, to whose Protection _Virginia_ Learning and Education
ought to be recommended, as he is Chancellor of the College of
_William_ and _Mary_.

The next Scheme most properly claims the favourable Patronage of the
Lord Bishop of _London_, to whose careful Management the Church of
_Virginia_ belongs.

The two last are more particularly offered to the Perusal of the Lords
Commissioners of Trade and Plantations, and the worthy _Virginia_
Merchants.

But forasmuch as _Virginia_ is the Scene of Action for all these
Schemes, therefore is each of them humbly presented to the _Virginia_
Gentry; particularly to the honourable the Lieutenant Governor, the
Council, the House of Burgesses, the Clergy and the President, Rector
and Governors of the College of the most antient and loyal Colony of
_Virginia_.

If any thing here offered be dislik'd, I willingly shall submit to
censure when disproved and confuted; mean while hope that nothing here
mentioned or proposed will be taken amiss, since this Work was purposely
undertaken with a sincere Intention of publick Good; therefore I have
Expectation that it will find a kind Reception with all
publick-spirited, and unprejudiced Persons.

SCHEME I.

_Of Education in_ Virginia.

The Royal Founders of _William_ and _Mary_ College, with Prospect of
doing the greatest Good
