Westminster. |
To the chancellor, masters and scholars of the university of Oxford.
Request not to delay the resumption of their lectures and scholastic acts
there, knowing that the sooner they begin, the greater will they find the
king's munificence towards them; as the king having heard the dispute
between them and the laymen of that town, and having received from the
university and from the mayor and community of the town the submission
of their liberties and privileges to his ordinance, has not been able to ordain
fully upon the matter, being hindered by other affairs, but for the restoration
of the university he has given again to the chancellor and others all
liberties, privileges and rights in his hand for the said cause, and has
granted to all the masters and scholars of the university and their serjeants
a general charter of pardon for felonies and trespasses arising out of the
said disturbances, admitting the university to his special protection, but
the masters pretend that they cannot resume their lectures and exercise
scholastic acts there, because they believe that no order has been made
touching repayment of the damages inflicted upon the scholars and security
to be given by the said laymen to those who wish to study there. [Ibid.] |
