In October, 1694, an act was passed for the maintenance of free schools,
by laying an imposition on furs, beef, bacon and exports out of the province,
and on the 16th of October, the assembly ordered an address to be sent to
their majesties William and Mary about this free school, another to the
Bishop of London, and a third to the Archbishop of Canterbury, asking him
to accept the patronage of the school. The letter to the Bishop of London
is as follows:
"Maryland, Oct. 18th, 1694.
"To the Right Rev. Father in God, Thomas, Lord Bishop of London:
" May it please your Lordship, Under so glorious a reign, wherein by God's providence,' his true religion has been so miraculously preserved, should we not endeaver to
promote it, we should hardly deserve the name of good Protestants or good subjects;
especially considering how noble an example is set before us by their majesties' royal
foundation now vigorously carried on in Virginia, in William & Mary College chartered
in 1693. We have therefore in Assembly attempted to make learning a hand-maid to
devotion, and founded free schools in Maryland, to attend on their college in that colony.
We only beg their Majesties' confirmation of an act which we have proposed for their
establishment and of your Lordship a share of that assistance and care which you have
taken in promoting so good and so great a design as that of the college in Virginia, so
charitable a founder of a school in opposition to that shop of poisoning principles set
open in Savoy.
" We are confident that you will favor our like pious designs in this Province wherein
instructing our youth in the orthodox religion, preserving them from the infection of
heterodox tenets and fitting them for the service of the church and state in this uncultivated part of the world, are our chiefest end and aim." * * * * * *
In the letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury they say:
"We did in the last Assembly by the truly worthy Sir Thomas Lawrence, their
Majesties' Secretary of this Province, desire your Grace's assistance in behalf of a Free
School which we design to found, and now we presume to entreat your Grace to take
upon you the patronage of the same.
" This is to be presented to your Grace by the said Sir Thomas Lawrence and Mr.
William Frisby, a very worthy member of our House of Burgesses.
" We shall not be further troublesome to your Grace than to beg your Grace's blessing
and to pray God that your Grace may long preside in the chair to his honor and glory
and the glory and good of the Church of England."
