ROBERT SAY , Doctor of Divinity , Provost of Oriel Colledge , and Vice-Chancellour of the Vniversity of Oxford , to all whom it may concern , Greeting .

Whereas the Statutes of the University require certain Scholastical , and decent Habits , befitting every Person in his severall Degree to be used , and put on , when he shall appear in Publick , especially at Sermons and other Scholastical Exercises . And whereas , for some months last past , there hath been almost a total neglect , throughout the whole University herein , contrary to the Statutes , and good Discipline of the same , We therefore ( considering the dishonour and suffering of the University by this apparent neglect ; & the many inconveniences which may ensue thereupon , if We shall not uphold that Laudable Use and Custome ) doe Peremptorily , and expressly Require and Command Every Graduate to appear in his Formalities , at Sermons , and elsewhere , according to the Statutes therein provided . As also Vnder-Graduates to wear such Gowns and Caps , as are limited , and expressed for their condition . And that these commands may work the speedier redress ; We profess to Execute the rigour of the Statutes upon such as shall offend therein .

Given under my hand this Thirteenth day of February 1665/6. ROBERT SAY Vice-Chan .
