Viz. Jurabis te haec omnia & reliqua Academae Statuta (quatenus ipsa ad te spectant) vel fideliter observasse & observaturum, vel monitiones, correctiones & paenas dictorum Statutorum transgressoribus incumbents, sine contradiction quacunque, humiliter subiisse aut subiturum, ni sialiter per gratiam per Acaedemiam concessam dispensatum tecum fuerit, sicut Te Deus adjuvet, &c. and again, Senatus Cantabrigiensis decrevit & declaravit eos omnes qui monitionibus, correctionibus & paenus Statutorum, Legum Decretorum, Ordinationum, Injunctionum & Laudabilium Consuetudinum hujus Academiae trangressoribus, quovis modo Incumbentibus humiliter se submiserint, nec esse, nec habendos esse perjurii reos. By which clauses 'tis manifest, that either active or passive obedience to the Statutes, Orders and Customs of the Universities ⟨p. 120⟩did save from the guilt of Perjury. And confident I am that 'tis the fear of an Oath that is the chief cause why many suffer the loss of their Livings at this day.

Quest. Is there not a good riddance of so many Mr. Scruples out of the Church? And is there any want of able Preachers up and down in the Country now they are ejected?
