In the same volume which contains these universally [...?]llected and deservedly condemned Statutes is printed, in a little more than three close pages a Latin paper stiled Ephronisis sin explanated[?] Juramenta[?] the sole /principal/ /chief/ purpose of which is to explain a way this oath.

Who it was written /penned/ by is not said: history says a certain Bishop who flourished in the reign of James the first: a Doctor Saunderson: from whom we have a lament[?] of great celebrity in his time from whom we have a large volume entitled On[?] juramenti obligatione[?]: here[?] a hero worthy to have figured in the Pascal's Lettres Provincials and worthy to have broken a lance with the expert tiller in the School of Ignatius Logola.

That by any Act of the University legisaltors this anonyomous paper was ever ordained to be considered as forming part and parcel of the Oath, as annext to it to cut out more of less of the substance, or even to be printed as in practice it is printed in the same volume with that which exhibits a part of the Statutes [...?] sworn to, does not appear And whether this anonymous and unknown person is to be considered as possessed of a dispensive power, empowering all who choose to be so empowered to break their oath in so far as he gives them leave, is a /among the/ question left for the exercise of tender consciences.
