Elizabeth and with the Breach of it by the University at the beginning of Terms whereupon His Majesty was pleased to give me in Charge to see this ordered and to take a Course for a Remedy in the future and that hereafter Service Sermon and Communion should be at all beginnings of Terms Uniformly in Latin since none resort to either but such as well understand it These are therefore to pray and require You at some convenient Meeting of the Heads to acquaint them with this Direction of His Majesty and to take care that both at the beginning of the next Term and of all Terms following the Service and Communion be in Latin as well as the Sermon And that such as are not furnished may the better provide themselves of Service Books in Latin so soon as conveniently they can you shall do well to make it so much the sooner known to the Heads And this I must not forget to tell you that when I took this first into Consideration it was thought fitting to put it into the University Statutes But afterwards I considered that since the Statutes were to remain to Posterity it would lay no small Scandal upon these times when they should see by the very Statute it self what a stranger the University was to the Prayers of the Church in a Learned Language And hereupon having first acquainted His Majesty with this also I thought it better to leave it out of the Statutes and to reduce it to this privater way which opinion of mine His Majesty was pleased graciously to Approve Two things there are which You and the Heads must take present care for The One is that the Vice-chancellor and he that helps him to execute whosoever he be be in Surplices but whether the Vice-chancellor will put on his Surplice when he goes to the Communion or put it on at the first and so read Service and sit at the Sermon in it I leave to his own Judgment but I like the latter better and the Surplice must be under both the Habit and the Hood The Second is that there must be care taken with the Singing Men that they may answer the Litany and all other places of the Service where they interpose in Latin which they may easily practice and be ready to perform at the beginning of the next Term but if they cannot the Litany must be sung or answered by the Masters without the Organ till they can for the main business to have all things in Latin must go on So wishing you all Health and Happiness and the University that Honour that belongs unto Her entire I leave you to the Grace of God and Rest I hope you take care that all Letters of mine which concern Business of this or the like Nature be Registred Croyden Nov. 26. 1636.

Vestro honori Paternitati devinctissima Acad. Oxon. ARTICLES Agreed upon and Concluded the 16th of February 1636. Between the Vice-chancellor Proctors and Heads of Houses in Oxford and two of the Wardens and some other of the Company of Stationers in LONDON FIRST the said Vice-chancellor and Heads do Covenant on their Part that the University shall not suffer the Printers of Oxford for Three Years next Ensuing to Print the Latin Grammar called Lilie nor the Bible c. Neither shall they Authorize or License any other under their Power or by Vertue of their Privilege lately granted to Print any of those otherwise than as the Company of Stationers and the Parties therein interessed shall permit Secondly the said Vice-chancellor and Heads do promise and undertake that an Order to this purpose reasonably agreed upon by the Council on both sides shall be Ratified and Confirmed by Convocation under the University Seal betwixt this present and our Lady Day next ensuing Thirdly the Wardens above-named and their Brethren of the Company do Covenant and Grant to and with the said Vice-chancellor c. That upon such an Order had and obtained from Convocation under the Publick Seal of the University the Company of Stationers shall under their Common Seal firmly bind their Body and Company Yearly to pay 200 l. unto the said University during the time expressed in the Order by even and

equal Portions That is to say 100 l. at our Lady Day and an 100 l. at Michaelmas beginning their first Payment at our Lady Day next Fourthly the Wardens above-named do undertake to obtain this Covenant likewise from their Company under Seal That in Case the University of Cambridge and the said Company shall agree in like manner that the power of Printing such Books be there suspended and that the said Company shall give a greater Sum Yearly unto the University of Cambridge in lieu thereof That then the said Company shall add such Sum or Sums unto the Sum formerly express'd of 200 l. as shall make the Portion or Portions of Money equal with that which is paid to Cambridge And the said Sum well and truly paid unto the University of Oxon at such times by equal Portions as are before specified Lastly It is intended and the full meaning of both Parties is that this course of suspending their Power by the University and the Yearly payment of such a Sum by the Company of Stationers shall be renewed at the several ends of such Terms of three Years in manner and from above specified untill it shall be reasonably agreed on by both Parties to relinquish the same In Witness whereof the Parties above-mentioned have interchangeably set to their Hands Rich.

SIR I Have received your Letters by the Stationers and with them a Copy of the Articles agreed upon between you These Articles I can find no fault with For certainly it will be more benesicial to the University for the advance of a Learned Press to receive 200 l. a Year than to print Grammars and Almanacks c. And more Honour too when it shall appear to what extraordinary good use you turn this Money I have therefore directed them to my Council to draw the Agreement upon these Articles in Form and so to settle the business and they give good Reason why the fourth Article should be secured apart But I like the Conclusion best of all Namely That this Agreement may determine at the end of Three Years if the University find it so sitting for them For Cambridge as I know not what they will do in this business so neither will I be forward to meddle with them but leave them to use their Privilege in such sort as themselves shall think best True it is that when Bishop Harsenet one of their own was so far from assisting that he oppressed their Privilege and disswaded me yet I stuck close to them and carryed their Business alone Nevertheless they shall never be able to go tell my Lord their Chancellor that I offer to force their Privilege in the least Yet if any difference between Them and the Stationers come in publick I shall moderate things according to reason as far as I can Now in the mean time I shall require this of you and your Successors that this Money which you yearly receive may be kept safe as a stock apart and put to no other use than the settling of a Learned Press and I think it were not amiss that some handsome Register-Book were bought in which might be kept alone your Acts concerning the Settlement of the Press aforesaid and in another part of the Book all your Receipts and all your Disbursements And if you and the Heads like this Proposal of mine I would then have you order it so by an Act of Convocation And I will presently acquaint the King what great good use we are like to make of the gracious Privilege he hath granted least any other Man should tell him we have basely sold it Now to your other Letters And first I pray use any fit means by Letters or otherwise to send to the Doctors that took their Degree at his Majesty's late being in Oxford that each of them repair to the University and perform their Exercise before the Act next ensuing or pay their 20 l. a Man according as was ordered at the time of their Presentation I would likewise you would let them know that this 20 l. a Man shall be turn'd to no other use than to the setting up of the Learned Press that as many of them as mean well may be the forwarder to pay it And further I think it were not amiss to Publish this in Convocation both that it may be known to what use I mean to put the Money and withal that their Friends may take notice and send them word if they will that I am resolved so soon as the Act is over to sue every Man in the Vice-chancellor's Court that pays not his Money if he have not done his Exercise which I will most certainly do without respect of Persons And therefore it is fit it should be made known as soon as may be I pray the next Monday commend me to the Heads and let them know that I expect from them all that their several Companies frequent the Schools diligently and behave themselves there orderly and peaceably and I expect from your self and the Proctors that the Schools be carefully look'd unto and that the Disputations be quick and Scholar-like but not tumultuous Your Predecessor kept them in very good order both his Years and I hope you will not fall short And I pray tell Proctor Brown that whatever his brother Proctor do I expect service from him But my main Business of all is to put you in mind that I have not receved any account from you all this Year how the new Statutes are put in Execution and that not only for matter of Disputations but for all things else And the reason of this my Care to have an Account is two-fold First If the Statutes fall into a neglect and an half Performance now at their beginning and in my own life-time there will be no hope that ever they will recover it after and so all that great and most useful Labour for the University will be lost And I have all the reason in the world to prevent this inconvenience if I can And these two Years of your Vice-chancellorship the observation or the not observation of them therein will be a great help or hindrance to the Statutes for ever Therefore I pray as ever I shall intreat any thing of you take all the care you can in this great business and give me an Account from time to time how it proceeds And you shall do well to send for Doctor Turner and desire him in my name to give you all the assistance he can and you may shew if you will how zealously I have written to you about this Business Secondly Because I remember I have heard that the former Proctors distasted something about the alteration of the Statute for Readers and that since that time there hath been a transmission of that
