_As this college is proposed to be built and endowed by charitable
contributions and subscriptions, all well-disposed persons, whether of
the laity or the clergy, are desired to assist, as opportunity shall
offer, in forwarding and collecting the same without loss of time; to
the end that the President and Fellows may be able to set out for
Bermuda in next spring; which is proposed, in case provision can be
made by that time of sixty pounds per Annum for each: And it is hoped
that the charity and zeal of sincere Christians will not suffer a
design of this nature to be disappointed for want of necessary
provision. The contributions and subscriptions aforesaid, may be
deposited in the hands of any of the persons hereafter named._
