  Henceforward；　then；　the　infamous　practice　of　begging　in　the　streets　will　no　longer　tolerated　in　Munich；　and　the　public　are　from　this　moment　exonerated　from　a　burden　which　is　not　less　troublesome　to　individuals　than　it　is　disgraceful　to　the　country。　Who　can　doubt　the　co…operation　of　every　individual　for　the　accomplishment　of　so　laudable　an　undertaking？　　We　trust　that　no　one　will　encourage　idleness；　by　an　injudicious　and　pernicious　profusion　of　alms　given　to　Beggars；　and　by　promoting　the　most　unbridled　licentiousness；　make　himself　a　participator　in　the　dangerous　consequences　of　mendicity；　and　share　the　guilt　of　all　those　crimes　and　offences　which　endanger　the　welfare　of　the　state；　injure　the　cause　of　religion；　and　insult　the　distress　of　the　really　indigent。
  No　longer　will　these　vagabonds　impose　on　good…nature　and　benevolence；　by　false　pretences；　by　ill…founded　complaints　of　the　inefficacy　of　the　provision　for　the　Poor；　or　by　any　other　artifices；　nor　can　they　escape　the　strict　and　constant　vigilance　with　which　they　will　in　future　be　watched；　when　every　person　they　meet　will　direct　them　to　the　House　of　Industry；　instead　of　giving　them　money。
  It　is　this　regulation　alone　which　can　effectuate　our　purpose；　a　regulation　enforced　in　the　days　of　primitive　Christianity；　and　sanctioned　by　Religion　　itself；　the　charitable　gifts　of　the　wealthier　Christians　being　in　those　days　all　deposited　in　a　common　　treasury；　for　the　benefit　of　their　poorer　and　distressed　Brethren；　and　not　squandered　away　in　the　encouragement　of　dissolute　idleness。
  We　therefore　entreat　and　beseech　the　public　in　general；　in　the　name　of　suffering　humanity；　and　of　that　Almighty　Being　who　cannot　but　regard　so　laudable　an　enterprise　with　an　eye　of　favour；　to　give　every　possible　support　to　our　design。　　And　we　trust　that　the　clergy　of　every　denomination；　but　especially　the　public　preachers；　will　exert　their　　splendid　abilities　to　animate　their　congregations　to　　co…operate　with　us　in　this　great　and　important　undertaking。
