Such public works are building and endowing of Schools, of Churches, of Lecturers, of Work-houses, of Hospitals, of Manufactures, furnishing of Libraries, maintaining of public Professors, Legacies to the poor, repairing Ways and Bridges, Loans to set up poor Tradesmen, and other the like Benefactions which have a common and public influence.
