Worthy the note of our Posteritie:
This Agnes Foster, wife to sir A. Foster,
That fre’d a Beggar at the grate of Lud-gate,

For M. Foster late Maior honestly pray,
That of pitty this house made for Londoners in Lud. gate:
So that for lodging and water here nothing they pay,
As their Keepers shall answere at dreadfull Doomes day.
Lady. O what a charitable deed was this!
This Aue Gibson who in her husbands life,
Being a Grocer, and a sherife of London,
Founded a free Schoole at Ratcliffe,
There to instruct three-score poore children,
Built fourteene Almes-houses for fourteene poore
Leauing for Tutors 50. li. a yeare,
