12. Sanderson's Ep
or explanation /
bound up with
these Statutes.
From him we have a
book de Juramenti Obligationi:
he merited
a place with the most
expert Jesuit in the
Lettres Provinciales.
In the same volume which contains these universally
violated oaths violated and deservedly contemned Statutes
is printed in a little more than three close pages a Latin paper stiled Ep sin explanatio
Juramenti the sole principal chief purpose of which is
to explain a way the 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 Sanderson: from whom
we have a Council of great celebrity in his time
from whom we have a large volume intituled
Ar juramenti Obligationi: and who might have
broken a a hero worthy to have figured in the
Pascal's Lettres Provinciales and worthy to have broken
a lance with the most expert tilter in the School
of Ignatius Loyola.
13. Men are left to
guess whether this is
to be considered as part
of the Oath: and
whether to the unnamed
author a
power belongs of dispensing
with oaths, is a
question left for tender
consciences.
That by any stat of the University legislators
this anonymous paper was ever ordained to be considered as forming
part and parcel of the Oath, as annext to it to
cut out more or less of the substance, or even to be
printed in the as in practice it is printed in the
same volume with that of 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 strive to be so empowered
dispensing all who take the oath from the obligation
of keeping it to to break their oath in so far as he
gives them leave, is a among the questions left for the exercise
of tender consciences.
