‘And where before … because it never had any lasting allowance, for augmentation of the
number, or supply of books decayed: whereby it came to pass, that when those that were in
being, were either wasted or embezzled, the whole foundation came to ruin:
To meet with that inconvenience, I will so provide hereafter … as you shall be still assured of a standing annual rent, to be disbursed every year in buying booke, in
officers stipends, and other pertinent occasions …
Sir Thomas Bodley, 1598
