Academiis possunt determinare omnes Controversias etiam sepositis Episcopis Upon an occasion of mentioning the absolute Decree he brake into a great and long Discourse that his Mouth was shut by Authority else he would maintain that Truth contra omnes qui sunt in Vivis which fetcht a great Hum from the Country Ministers that were there c. These particulars by the Command of his Majesty I sent to Dr. Prideaux and received from him this answer following and his Protestation under his hand Ecclesia authoritatem habet in fidei Controversiis determinandis Ecclesia authoritatem habet interpretandi Sacras Scripturas Ecclesia potestatem habet decernendi Ritus Ceremonias These Questions I approved when they were brought unto me and wished the Beadle that brought them to convey them to the Congregation to be allowed according to Custom conceiving them to be especially bent according to the meaning of the Article cited against Papal Vsurpations and Puritancial Innovations which I detest as much as any man Whereby it appears what I positively hold concerning the authority of the Church in all the proposed Particulars namely that which that 20th Article prescribeth and not otherwise Certain passages that came from Dr. Prideaux in the discussing of the Questions at Oxford Ecclesia est mera Chimaera Ecclesia nihil docet nec determinat Controversiae omnes melius ad Academiam referri possunt quàm ad Ecclesiam Docti homines in Academiis possunt determinare omnes Controversias etiam sepositis Episcopis The passages therefore imperfectly catched at by the Informer were no Positions of mine For I detest them as they are laid for impious and ridiculous But Oppositions according to my place proposed for the further clearing of the truth to which the Respondent was to give satisfaction And the General Protestation I hope takes off all that can be laid against me in the particulars Notwithstanding to touch on each of them as they are laid To the First I never said the Church was Mera Chimaera as it is or hath a Being and ought to be believed But as the Respondent by his Answer made it In which I conceived him to swerve from the Article whence his Questions were taken To the Second my Argument was to this purpose Omnis actio ést Suppositorum vel Singularium Ergo 〈◊〉 in abstracto nil docet aut determinat sed per hos aut illos Episcopos Pastores Doctores As Homo non disputat sed Petrus Johannes c. The third and fourth may be well put together My Prosecution was That the Universities are eminent Parts and Seminaries of the Church and had sitter opportunity to discuss Controversies than divers other Assemblies Not by any means to determine them but to prepare them for the determination of Ecclesiastical Assemblies of Synods Councils Bishops that have Superiour Authority wherein they might do Service to the Church and those Superiours not prescribing any thing unto them As the debating of a thing by a learned Counsellour makes the easier Passage for the Benches Sentence And this was urged only as Commodum not as Necessarium The QUEEN's ALMONER present I am told no. For he departed as they say that were in the Seat with him being tyred as it should seem by the tedious Preface of the Respondent before the Disputations began But be it so or otherwise to what purpose this is interposed I know not Upon an occasion of mentioning the absolute Decree he brake into a great and long Discourse that his Mouth was shut by Authority else he would maintain the truth contra omnes qui sunt in vivis which fetcht a great Hum from the Country Ministers that were there c. This Argument was unexpectly cast in by Mr. Smith of St. John's but bent as I took it against somewhat I have written in that behalf which the Respondent not endeavouring to clear I was put upon it to shew in what sense I took absolutum Decretum Which indeed I said I was ready to maintain against any as my Predecessors in that place had done This was not in a long Discourse as it is suggested but in as short a Solution as is usually brought in Schools to a Doubt on the bye And from this I took off the Opponents farther proceeding in Obedience to Authority Whereupon if a Hum succeeded it was more than I used to take notice of It might be as well of dislike as approbation and of other Auditors as soon as Country Ministers A Hiss I am sure was given before when the Respondent excluded the King and Parliament from being parts of the Church But I remember whose practice it is to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I had rather bear and forbear and end with this PROTESTATION THAT as I believe the Catholick Church in my Creed so I Reverence this Church of England wherein I have had my Baptism and whole Breeding as a most eminent Member of it To the Doctrine and Discipline of this Church have I hitherto often subscribed and by God's Grace constantly adhered and resolve by the same assistance according to my ability under his Majesty's Protection faithfully to maintain against Papists Puritans or any other that shall oppose it The Prelacy of our Reverend Bishops in it I have ever defended in my Place to be jure Divino which I dare say has been more often and with greater pains taking than most of those have done who have receiv'd greater Encouragement from their Lordships I desire nothing but the continuance of my vocation in a peaceable Course that after all my pains in the place of his Majesty's Professor almost for these 18 years together my Sons especially be not countenanced in my declining Age to vilify and vex me So shall I spend the remainder of my time in hearty Prayer for his Majesty my only Master and Patron for the Reverend Bishops the State and all his Majesty's Subjects and Affairs and continue my utmost Endeavours to do all faithful Service to the Church wherein I live To whose Authority I ever have and do hereby submit my self and Studies to be according to Gods word directed or corrected J.

The first Stone of my Building at St. John Baptist's College was laid NOW that this intended Good may come the fuller upon the University a great help must come from you and your Successors from time to time in That Office And first while the awe of this is upon them you must call for the present performance of those things which his Majesty enjoyned especially the present drawing up of the Statutes concerning Appeals and of the standing Delegacy of the Heads of Colledges and Halls to meet every week or every fortnight at least as well in Vacation as Term both to consider of the present businesses of the University and to prepare such things as are fit for Convocation Which Statutes of this Delegacy and the Appeals were they once settled would ease half of the business of the University and repay all the pains that is or can be taken about them Next I pray call the Heads together and give them warning concerning their several Companies That no man of what degree soever and therefore much less Youths be suffered to go in Boots and Spurs together with their Gowns And if any Head of a House permit it in his own College whither my Authority reaches not I shall complain where he will be unwilling to Answer And for your self I pray and require you that if any man be seen abroad with them in Town out of his College you presently proceed against him according to such 〈◊〉 as you have De 〈◊〉 Scholastico c. And the like for haunting of Inns or Taverns or other Drinking-Houses 〈◊〉 Masters of Arts that should give younger Youths better example And that all Bachelours of Arts as well 〈◊〉 as others receive a strict command by their several Governours that while 〈◊〉 any 〈◊〉 they pass along the 〈◊〉 or any publick place they uncover their heads and do that reverence which beseems them to any Doctor Bachelour of Divinity Master of

is too much neglected but also because I find his Majesty so resolved that he will have a severe Course held against any Governours as well as others that shall be proved faulty And that this may appear I have sent you here his Majestie 's Letters to me which are to be read in open Convocation that the whole University may know how distasteful these Courses are to his Majesty and how prejudicial they may be to your selves And I do heartily pray you all that hereafter not only in Disputations but upon all other Occurrences whatsoever you uphold the Honour and Government of that Place and spare no man that shall be proved an Offender against either And for my part if nothing else will serve I shall take the best course I can to see Justice done and Example made where there is cause Neither can I go off from this opinion That the younger sort would easily be reduced into better order if all the Governours did that which in Conscience and Duty they are bound unto And I will hope that all whom this may any ways concern will hereafter be careful of the good of the University the honour of themselves and their Credit with his Majesty which certainly can neither be gained nor held by such breaches upon Government So praying you to take care of these things I leave you to Gods gracious protection and shall ever rest To my very Loving Friends the Vice-Chancellour the Doctors the Proctours and the rest of the Convocation of the University of OXFORD London-House April 13. 1632. Your very loving Friend and Chancellour GVIL London The Tenor of the King's Letters to me here Follow 's CHARLES R. RIght trusty and well beloved Counsellour and Right Reverend Father in God We greet you well We had reason to expect that our own Princely care and former admonitions had sufficiently regulated that our Vniversity of Oxford whereof you as Our Chancellour have the Charge Nevertheless We understand that the late Lent Exercises in their Schooles have been carried in such disorder that if at the instance of the Dean of Christ-Church the Vice-Chancellour had not excused the Bachellours of that House from answering in their turn there had followed much mischeif which Discretion of theirs we well approve For tho' a Vertuous Emulation to whet the Industry of Scholars be not to be discouraged yet it must always be governed so as it may not proceed to Animosities and factious Contestat ions of young and hot heads which will breed Combustion and publick disturbance in the end if due prevention be not used We therefore require you not only to give present Order for suppression of these or the like Tumults but also to see that the Authors be punished according to their deserts And if upon due examination you find that any Master of a College or other Superiour hath been Actor or Encourager herein or hath not done his Duty in containing the Scholars from these Distempers Let him know that We shall hold him unworthy of that Trust and will not spare to punish him as We shall see cause Given at Our Palace at VVestminster this 12. day of April 1632. in the eighth year of Our Reign To the Right Reverend Father in God Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved Counsellour William Lord Bishop of London Chancellour of Our University of OXFORD Reverendissime Cancellarie INverecundis aliquorum turbis invita hoc bonum debemus quod ex ausâ insuavi accepimus pulchrum Divinissimi Regis Cordatissimi Cancellarii Monumentum Illius ad Te literas mox ad nos tuas utrasque tam Gratiae quam Providentiae plenas E quibus intelligimus quanti sit vobis innocentia nostra quam ideo nos religiosiùs culturi sumus sub nomine Obsequii Has etiam utrasque duplici Registro recondemus in perpetuorum Archivorum simul Cordium Cum auris Regia per longinquam audiendi seriem pertingi soleat Suprema Mirum est quomodo Rex ipse res nostras inviseret nisi summi Moderatoris intenta sagacitas barbari hujus tumultûs clamosa magnitudo aequè innotesceret nisi Princeps tam sapere posset quàm Populus insipere nisi Carolinum esset in scintillà has flammas restinguere quas norunt Pueri excitare Cum verò incolumitas nostra vobis tantum pariat solicitudinem molestiam Mirum vos ingrato hoc opere non lassar i isi pluris esset beneficium serere quam ex eo demetere Cum denique Area haec nostra Ventilabro Regali ac tuo sit nuper penitus expurgata Mirum unde hae paleae Mirum nisi indies afflueret temerariae indoctaeque Juventutis nova successio quae dum calido Sanguine rerum inscitiâ vexatur parum valet aut priorum exempla adse trahere aup cognata pacis violamina comparare aut eventus futuros prospicere sed efferâ libertatis opinioni decepta quicquid non licet generosum aestimat Quid ergo Nunc excusanius crimen patratum Imò potius patrandi pervicaciam deploramus Dum in vos modo modo in nosmetipsos dividimus oculos pudore nostri confundimur Vestrique laboramus merito Pudet aliquorum nos omnes Tyronum veteranos Subditorum Dominos pudet conturbantium hos qui patiuntur quibus acerbius fuit alii quod ferirent quàm quod ipsi ferrent pudet bonos malorum insultantium sicut pars ulcerosa totius Corporis gravamen simulque pudor est Puderet minus si aut ipse minùs sollicitus aut Rex minùs esset benignus Reorum facinus supra modum exaggerat laesae potestatis excellentia cujus tam Curae oppugnatur quam Praecepto Bonitati quam Justitiae Tu vero qui in re nostra Fulmen Regale sustines clientes tuos quo velis sub clypeo tutelari deduces Scrutamur enim quod jubes quod ultro egressi sumus deli nquentes quoscunque cos castigamus inventos castigando inventos monemus insuper universos ut flexile collum praebeant alios ut pressiùs utantur locis idque non tantum nostri causâ quorum maximè interest in tuto conquiescere sed Serenissimi Regis ne frustra turbines tam cautè prohibeat unaque Tui ne frustra tam paternè corripias E domo nostrae Congregationis April 23. 1632.

AFter my hearty Commendations c. The time is now come for the choice of a new Vice-Chancellour for I have been bold to lay the pains of that place upon Dr. Smith these two years together In the whole course of that his Government he hath carried himself with a great deal of fidelity to the University and a great deal of care and

December an Order was made by the Heads That the number of Doctors designed to attend His Majesty at Woodstock should not exceed Fifteen That they should all go in wide sleeved Scarlet Gowns not in Habit and Hood save only the Preacher who during his Sermon should wear his Hood also And further That both the Proctors should go in their wide-sleeved Gowns too And that it might the better appear what Doctors should go It was likewise Ordered That this Number should always a little before every His Majestie 's resort to that Place be chosen out of the Company of the Doctors there for the performance of that Service Trusty and Well-beloved c. WE are informed that you have for some Years suffered a very ill Custom to continue in that our Collegiate Church for whereas there are divers Scholars chosen to be Students of that House and divers others that live there as Commoners but the greatest part of the Scholars are chosen from our School at Westminster there is a Supper maintained Yearly commonly called a Westminster Supper at which all and only Westminster Scholars do meet This Supper we hold to be a very ill Custom and no way fit to be continued For first it is a thing not allowable in Government that any party of Men should have a several Meeting which is a direct way to Faction and Combination and it teacheth the rest of the Students in such a Society to bandy themselves together against the other that they may not be thought to be neglected Secondly such a Meeting must needs cause more Expences than many Students are able to bear especially in such chargeable times as these are Thirdly it gives an occasion of much Drinking and Riot and consequently of all the bad effects which follow such excesses besides no small disorder in leaving or keeping open the Gates of the College for ingress and egress for resort to that disorderly Meeting at later Hours than are fit And most usually to add to all this Disorder this Supper must be kept upon a Friday-Night against both the Canons of the Church and Laws of the Realm and to the great Scandal of all sober Men that hear of it These are therefore to Will and Require You the Dean and Chapter to suppress that Supper or Meeting by what Name soever it be called and to call the Students together and to command them in Our Name that they presume not at any time hereafter to resort together to any such Meeting either in the College or out of it and to Register these our Letters among the Orders and Decrees for the Government of that Church as You and every of You will answer it at your utmost Perils and these our Letters We Will shall be binding not only upon your Selves but upon your Successors that this ill and dangerous Custom may never rise up into Practice again Given c. I Thank you heartily for calling for Arms of your Privileged Men and I pray be careful that they be ordered to the full as high as any Towns-Men of their Rank and Condition and so they that love neither you nor your Liberties may not be able to take any Advantage against you either in regard of the Number or the sufficiency of the Arms.

W. Cant. SIR I Am informed that the Masters many of them sit bare at St. Maries having their Hats there and not their Caps rather chosing to sit bare than to keep Form and then so soon as they come out of the Church they are quite out of Form all along the Streets I am likewise told that divers of the younger sort and some Masters begin again to leave the wide-sleeved Gown apace and take up that which they call the Lawyer 's Gown If both or either of these be you had need look to it in time before it gather Head And if it be true for the Gowns you must chide the Taylors that make them very severely besides what you do to the Scholars Lambeth Feb. 20. 〈◊〉 W. Cant. SIR I Pray take care of Lent and the Disputations in their Beginnings and speak to the Heads of Houses at your next Meeting that they warn their several Companies that they keep Disputations at the Schools diligently but very orderly and peaceably And since I have now by many Years Experience observed That coursing between one College and another is the great Mother of all Disorder and that 't is almost impossible to have decent and orderly Disputations if that be permitted These are to require You That You suffer no such Coursing at all under any Pretence And farther I would have you speak with the Principal of Brazen-Nose that he would command their Cellar to be better looked to that no strong and unruly Argument be drawn from that Topick-place And I pray desire the Heads to be very careful that the Disputations may be Scholike and peaceable Lambeth Feb. ult 〈◊〉 W.
