A86588 A true state of the case of Mr. Hotham, late Fellow of Peter-House; declaring the grounds and reasons of his appeal to the Parliament, against the sentence of those members of the committee for reformation of the universities; who on May 22. last, resolv'd the writing and publishing of his book intitled The petition and argument, &c. to be scandalous and against the priviledge of Parliament; and himself to be depriv'd of his fellowship in that colledge. Hotham, Charles, 1615-1672? 1651 (1651) Wing H2901; Thomason E636_4; ESTC R206575 32,556 48

four_o and_o very_o great_a inconvenience_n of_o this_o exemption_n be_v that_o if_o these_o man_n have_v this_o great_a privilege_n above_o those_o that_o come_v in_o by_o election_n of_o be_v admit_v a_o year_n before_o the_o statutable_a time_n into_o present_a power_n and_o profit_n it_o will_v much_o slacken_v the_o endeavour_n of_o young_a student_n to_o approve_v themselves_o to_o

inconvenience_n be_v that_o this_o sudden_a ascent_n of_o young_a scholar_n from_o a_o state_n of_o minority_n to_o the_o high_a power_n of_o command_n and_o equality_n with_o their_o superior_n be_v

the_o college_n government_n contemptible_a to_o the_o young_a student_n and_o so_o uneffectual_a to_o those_o good_a end_n to_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v and_o if_o any_o object_n that_o all_o these_o reason_n notwithstanding_o those_o put_v in_o everywhere_o in_o other_o college_n both_o of_o cambridge_n and_o oxford_n by_o this_o honourable_a committee_n be_v not_o probationer_n but_o complete_a fellow_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o statute_n of_o some_o college_n require_v no_o probationership_n at_o all_o in_o other_o the_o junior_a fellow_n be_v by_o their_o constitution_n little_o better_o than_o subordinates_n to_o a_o set_a number_n of_o senior_n entrust_v with_o the_o sole_a power_n of_o the_o college_n and_o so_o the_o like_a inconvenience_n will_v not_o ensue_v there_o as_o with_o we_o where_o all_o be_v equal_a i_o have_v now_o only_o one_o thing_n more_o to_o add_v if_o these_o of_o who_o the_o question_n be_v be_v either_o man_n of_o eminent_a worth_n or_o
