while_o i_o be_o upon_o this_o argument_n of_o place_v the_o statute-book_n in_o the_o public_a library_n i_o pray_v acquaint_v the_o head_n at_o the_o next_o meeting_n that_o i_o be_o inform_v that_o the_o close_o statute-book_n in_o some_o private_a college_n be_v keep_v up_o too_o close_o from_o they_o who_o it_o concern_v which_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o the_o due_a publication_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o minister_n occasion_n to_o many_o man_n to_o pretend_v ignorance_n instead_o of_o show_v obedience_n i_o pray_v therefore_o commend_v my_o love_n to_o the_o head_n and_o let_v they_o know_v that_o i_o expect_v every_o head_n of_o college_n and_o hall_n where_o there_o be_v a_o library_n to_o take_v care_n that_o the_o book_n of_o statute_n be_v place_v and_o chain_v in_o it_o that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o free_a access_n to_o the_o student_n in_o each_o society_n and_o that_o in_o such_o hall_n as_o have_v no_o library_n the_o statute-book_n be_v place_v as_o safe_o and_o yet_o as_o public_o as_o it_o can_v be_v and_o further_o i_o must_v and_o do_v require_v of_o every_o of_o the_o head_n hall_n that_o all_o the_o addition_n and_o alteration_n make_v upon_o the_o review_n of_o the_o statute_n be_v put_v into_o all_o and_o every_o statute-book_n which_o be_v keep_v within_o their_o several_a government_n and_o i_o do_v require_v of_o you_o mr._n vicechancellor_n to_o see_v it_o do_v and_o to_o give_v i_o a_o account_n of_o it_o for_o it_o will_v be_v no_o great_a labour_n to_o you_o at_o some_o convenient_a time_n to_o send_v for_o the_o statute-book_n of_o every_o college_n and_o hall_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v do_v or_o no_o and_o if_o the_o addition_n shall_v not_o be_v write_v into_o every_o book_n it_o will_v cause_v one_o college_n to_o be_v otherwise_o inform_v concern_v their_o particular_a statute_n than_o other_o be_v and_o so_o cause_v more_o frequent_a recourse_n to_o the_o leidger-book_n than_o will_v otherwise_o be_v necessary_a and_o perhaps_o breed_v other_o disserence_n also_o i_o find_v that_o the_o proctor_n of_o the_o last_o year_n and_o i_o doubt_v their_o predecessor_n mulct_n also_o have_v be_v too_o negligent_a in_o collect_v the_o mulct_n and_o it_o may_v be_v those_o that_o be_v new_a come_v in_o will_v be_v negligent_a also_o if_o you_o call_v not_o upon_o they_o betimes_o i_o pray_v therefore_o commend_v i_o to_o they_o and_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o will_v expect_v their_o performance_n in_o this_o particular_a as_o well_o as_o their_o diligence_n in_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o that_o i_o hold_v it_o a_o very_a unworthy_a thing_n that_o out_o of_o a_o plausible_a popular_a humour_n to_o decline_v the_o envy_n of_o any_o private_a man_n they_o shall_v so_o far_o neglect_v their_o duty_n to_o the_o statute_n and_o the_o public_a and_o certain_o if_o the_o proctor_n go_v on_o in_o this_o way_n and_o either_o whole_o neglect_v it_o or_o thrust_v it_o upon_o the_o vicechancellor_n i_o shall_v not_o only_o take_v it_o very_o ill_a from_o they_o but_o at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o year_n either_o i_o shall_v cause_v the_o delegate_n not_o to_o pass_v their_o account_n till_o they_o have_v pay_v it_o themselves_o or_o else_o sue_v both_o they_o and_o the_o delinquent_n in_o the_o vice-chancellor_n court_n for_o such_o mulct_n as_o be_v leave_v by_o they_o uncollected_a and_o i_o pray_v let_v the_o head_n know_v what_o i_o have_v write_v in_o this_o particular_a also_o i_o have_v some_o more_o manuscript_n almost_o ready_a for_o you_o but_o i_o

they_o be_v and_o that_o both_o these_o be_v true_a i_o here_o again_o free_o offer_v myself_o to_o my_o oath_n and_o yet_o four_o that_o you_o may_v see_v his_o gracious_a majesty_n use_v not_o his_o

if_o not_o necessary_a my_o first_o reason_n be_v in_o the_o litany_n in_o henry_n viii_o his_o time_n it_o and_o also_o under_o edward_n vi_o 1552._o there_o be_v this_o clause_n from_o the_o

elizabeth_n time_n this_o clause_n about_o the_o pope_n be_v leave_v out_o and_o it_o seem_v of_o purpose_n for_o avoid_v of_o scandal_n and_o yet_o the_o prelate_n for_o that_o not_o account_v innovator_n or_o introducer_n of_o popery_n now_o it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a scandal_n to_o call_v their_o religion_n rebellion_n than_o it_o be_v to_o call_v their_o chief_a bishop_n tyrant_n and_o this_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o scandal_n which_o must_v ever_o be_v avoid_v as_o much_o as_o it_o may_v my_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o learned_a make_v but_o three_o religion_n to_o have_v be_v of_o old_a in_o the_o world_n paganisns_n judaisme_n and_o christianity_n and_o now_o they_o have_v add_v a_o four_o which_o be_v turcism_n and_o be_v a_o absurd_a mixture_n of_o the_o

weigh_v be_v take_v from_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o religion_n itself_o my_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o you_o make_v their_o religion_n to_o be_v rebellion_n than_o you_o make_v their_o religion_n and_o rebellion_n to_o be_v all_o one_o and_o that_o be_v against_o the_o ground_n both_o of_o state_n and_o the_o law_n for_o when_o divers_a romish_a priest_n and_o jesait_n have_v deserve_o suffer_v death_n for_o treason_n be_v it_o not_o the_o constant_a and_o just_a profession_n of_o the_o state_n that_o they_o never_o put_v any_o man_n to_o death_n for_o religion_n but_o for_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n only_o do_v not_o the_o state_n true_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v never_o any_o law_n make_v against_o the_o life_n of_o a_o papist_n quatenus_fw-la a_o papist_n only_o and_o be_v not_o all_o this_o stark_a false_a if_o their_o very_a religion_n be_v rebellion_n for_o if_o their_o religion_n be_v rebellion_n it_o be_v not_o only_o false_a but_o impossible_a that_o the_o same_o man_n in_o the_o same_o act_n shall_v suffer_v for_o his_o rebellion_n and_o not_o for_o his_o religion_n and_o this_o king_n james_n of_o ever_o bless_a memory_n

inadvertency_n in_o his_o time_n and_o this_o reason_n be_v ground_v both_o upon_o the_o practice_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o law_n which_o of_o these_o reason_n or_o whether_o any_o other_o

the_o king_n have_v not_o only_a power_n but_o reason_n to_o command_v it_o 10._o the_o ten_o innovation_n 3._o be_v that_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o navy_n be_v 〈◊〉_d out_o of_o the_o late_a book_n
