Note 67 — Chapter III
Reading edition
A copy of the original pamphlet is in the British Museum. Eight hundred persons had been healed "in the meane season" during the past five years. The list of expenses is interesting because of the light it casts upon the cost of living in 1552. The diet of the hundred patients is calculated at 2d. the day; each sister was allowed for her board sixteen pence a week, while the matron obtained eighteen pence.
