68  DOCUMENTARY  HISTORY  [1716

The  subscriptions  are  given  below,  in  the  order  of  the
places  named;  probably  only  a  part  of  the  total  number
of  subscriptions  in  New  Haven  is  included.
We  whose  Names  are  hereunto  subscribed  upon  the  most
serious  and  deliberate  Considerations  concerning  the  present
State  of  the  Collegiate  School  are  of  Opinion  y*-  if  it  cannot
be  continued  at  Saybrook,  then  it  is  verry  convenient  if  it
be  setled  at  New-Haven  and  therfore  do  recommend  it  to  all
who  are  generously  inclined  to  promote  such  settlement  of  s*^-
School  that  they  will  please  to  subscribe  what  Sums  they  will
contribute  towards  the  Settlement  and  Support  thereof  at
the  Town  of  New-Haven  so  seasonably  as  that  it  may  be
offered  at  y®  meeting  of  y^  Trustees  at  y®  next  Commence-
ment.
