The taking An oath "to observe all the Statutes
"privileges and customs of the University" is a condition
ceremony exacted of every Member at performance required by one of the provisions in these Articles to be performed by
his admission: the only article of the whole and
this article is probably the only one of the whole
which is never violated.

Were the infringements of this code the instances of the non-observance of
laws as unfrequent and as easy to to avoid as
they are constant and universal and many
of them unavoidable, the employing this more
tremendous of all sanctions to enforce the
wearing a gown of a particular shape, a
coat of a particular and an useless bit of
linen called a band would be deemed in cases
where common universal guilt did not necessitate universal
connivance, a profanation.

The Book Collection of the laws put into the hands
published for the use of the such of the members
as have as share in the government and put
into their hands at the time of their admission
250 12 pages pretty closely printed of regulations
of which those just alluded to are
among the least exceptionable.

University Divines
warn these Atheists
by their own rules
In their judgment Atheists are a set of men
who with are likely to scruple to make false
declarations, even when unprovided unguarded by the sanction
of an oath, [so that the abolishing the obligation necessity
of making such declarations would be a means
of introducing into the Ch several branches of
the establishment Atheists whom that necessity
while it subsists excludes] They themselves are
a set of men who without exception live in
the habitual violation of declarations made
upon oath. In their own judgment which
are men of the most dangerous vitious character disposition of
the lowest conscience, themselves or Atheists?
