Summary

The founders shall ensure that from now on the heads shall be presbyters* sound in matters of and that they practise the true religion, and that they shall promote advance sound doctrine in everyway, and every year each of the heads shall preach at some point in the university church.

Of maintaining the proper number of scholars in the colleges.

The number of scholars prescribed by the statutes shall not be decreased, but even if at some point the full quota cannot be maintained, either because of some problem with the funding or because of some other very great necessity, the full and complete number shall be kept up in the theological faculty.

The negligence of scholars shall be punished.

If those who are devoted to theology or to other kinds of learning fail to attend the lectures relating to their subject, whether public or private within their college, they shall be fined a part of their annual stipend at the discretion of the head of the college, unless they have been kept away by poor health.

Of admitting theologians to degrees.

When theological students are to be made bachelors or doctors they shall be diligently examined questioned on disputed articles points in religion, and they ad hos gradus admittantur, nisi quoad legitimam veramque intelligentiam in articulis illic capitibus propositis consenserint et subscripserint [57b] et sermone et subscriptione velint agnoscere.

Ut in academiis non commorentur qui habent sacerdotia.

In academiis et collegiis non ferantur remaneant, qui sacerdotia sunt adsecuti quibus animarum cura coniuncta est, cum praesentes illorum ad pascendum gregem sibi commissum praesentia requira/itur. Quia tamen primitiae ab eis solvendae sunt, pro primo/i anno/i respectu, cum fuerint socii collegiorum, inde tantum emolumenti accipiant, quantum eis daretur ad annuam substantiam sustentationem anni totius impensas sustentandas, si in collegiis adessent. Qui vero praebendas nacti fuerint absque cura animarum, si primitias cogantur solvere, primo anno impensis collegii sui vivere poterunt, quo elapso ministro, tum ad suas ecclesias ire deinde suis ecclesiis inservire coge/antur, nisi fortasse ab episcopo et capitulo suo facultatem habuerint potestatem impetraverint commorandi ad aliquod tempus in academia, ut in titulis capitibus ‘De admittendis ad ecclesiastica beneficia’, et ‘De praebendariis’ antea cautum est; quo tempore suis ipsorum vivent impensis, neque a collegiis victum impensas accipient, cum illis aliunde prospectum sit.
