5. By bestowing of Bibles on poor Children, whereby through the care of their Parents,1 they may be acquainted with the knowledge of the holy Scriptures, which are able to make them wise unto salvation. Memorable is the pious gift of Sir John Fenner, who by his last will gave six pounds per annum to several out-Parishes in London for the buying of Bibles to be distributed amongst poor children. From my own experience I can say, that this gift hath occasioned many poor people to teach their children to read, that so they might be capable of those Bibles, which are to be given only to such as can in some measure read.
