have no absolute definitive power in all things but are subordinate to the Honorable Committee of Lords and Commons for regulating the University to whom they are to certifie all their proceedings to whom there is liberty of appealing granted to any that deem themselves injured so as this Honorable Committee and both Houses are in truth the real Visitors the others but their Substitutes Therefore these scorns against their persons which must reflect upon the Parliaments wisdom and judgment might have wel bin spared As for any of their interests engagements and professions I shall beleeve they are all publike and syncere til the contrary be demonstrated The next exception is to their proceedings * That their power was not manifested by some legal way c. I answer That this is untrue ●or it was first manifested by a printed Ordinanos of both Houses wherein their names and power were comprised 2. In a publike Citation subscribed by most of them of which all the University Colledges and Halls had legal notice 3. By an additional Ordinance of both Houses and a Commission under the Great Seal of England of which they had a copy delivered to them upon their own request by the Visitors that sate The last Objection is * That there is now no necessity nor want of a Visitation c. I answer That this is to question the wisdom of both Houses who deem a Visitation necessary and to prejudge the Visitors who may find more enormities in the persons to be visited then they can yet discern in themselves who * are no competent Iudges in their own cause However if their Innocency be such as to evidence to the world they are not those Monsters that their Enemies Charactor would speak them Nor yet are altogether unworthy their Education or their Founders Magnificance as the Objector blasons them they have then the lesse cause to refuse or decline the Visitors test and wil come off with greater honor to themselves and shame to their unjust Accusers if they appear such after stricktest S●rutiny then if they had not at all been brought to such a publike Tryal I have now made good all my Positions and answered all the Universities allegations in point of Law or Conscience against their present Visitors Jurisdiction not out of any design to diminish or infringe the Universities just Priviledges which I have been formerly sworn to maintain in the least title but out of a real affection to the Universityes welfare and a desire to rectifie the erronious Judgments and satisfy the scrupelous Consciences of all present Opposers of the Visitors power to prevent those tragicall effects which their Obstinacy and Contumacy in this high contest are like inevitably to produce to their own and the Vniversities prejudice if persisted in I shal ever endeavour to my power that the University may enjoy all her just Rights and Priviledges with Subordination to both Houses superior Authority and flourish more abundantly now then ever in piety vertue and all sorts of learning which they cannot take unkindly at my hands I shal only add That as the Vniversity of Cambridg submitted to the Ordinance of both Houses of Parliament made for its regulation dated 22. Jan. 1643. which enabled the Honorable Ea●le of Manchester alone to appoint a Committee under him who should have full power to call before them all Provosts Masters and Fellows of Colledges Students and Members of that Vniversity who were scandalous in their lives or ill affected to the Parliament or fomentors of these unnatural wars or wilful refusers to obey the Ordinances of Parliament or deserters of their places of residence and to send for witnesses and examine any complaint or testimony against them upon Oath and to certify their names with the Charge and proofs against them to the said Earle who had power thereby given him to sequester and elect them and put others in their places which he accordingly executed without any such publike opposition as we now find at Oxford So I hope the Vniversity of Oxford wil receive so good satisfaction of their scruples from the premises as shal enduce them to a like submission to their present Visitors authorized by both Houses Ordinances and a Commission under the great Seal without any further plea or demurrer or else leave them without excuse to both Houses severest justice for their wilful contempt of their Soveraign power against which they have publikely in words disavowed the least opposi●ion or dispute and yet strenuously oppose it in reallity by this contest against their Visitors upon meer groundles Pretences so frequently over-ruled against them heretofore that it can be b●t meer obstinacy in them to insist upon them any longer now The Statutes of 9.
