I CHRISTOPHER Duke of ALBEMARLE, [...] [...] cellour of the University of CAMBRIDGE, having perused these following Orders and Rules, (for the more effectual securing of the Publick Library there) drawn up and agreed upon by certain Persons chosen by the Senate to deliberate and determine in that affair; Do approve of them, and think it very reasonable they be strictly observ'd by all, and particularly I am of Opinion that no Person be permitted the use of the said Library untill he first take the Oath mentioned amongst these Orders.

ALBEMARLE.

Orders and Rules agreed upon by the Syndics for the better securing the Publick Library. June 20. 1684.

I. THat all Persons (except Foreigners) be prohibited the use of the Publick Library unless they first take the following Oath.

‘Jurabis quod in Bibliothecam publicam admissus nihil quod ad ipsam pertinuerit sciens volens corrumpes, aut imminues, nullum librum per mutabis, auferèsve, aut ipse per te, aut per alium quemvis, nisi eo modo, iìsque conditionibus, quae per Ʋniversitatis decreta requiruntur: Quòdque sis jure isto tuo sincerè, & bona fide usurus, atque omnino ita ut (quantum in Te est) nihil inde accrescat Bibliothecae damni, Ita te Deus adjuvet & haec sancta Dei Evangelia.’

II. That no Person (except such as are at present members of the Senate, or shall be at the next Commencement, or except such as are actually Batchelours of Law or Physick, or shall be at the next Commencement) be admitted to the said Oath, unless a Grace first pass the House for his admittance to the Library.

III. That none under the Degree of Masters of Arts, Batchelours of Law or Physick be permitted to put up such Grace.

IV. That no Foreigner be permitted the use of the Library without such a Sponsor as the Vice-chancellour for the time being shall allow of.

V. That no one shall borrow any Book without express le [...] [...]w vice-Chancellour for the time being, or his Lawfull Deputy, and a note under his own [...]ing the name of the Book or Books so borrowed. The Books so lent to be return'd within[?] [...]Month; the under Library-keeper or some other Person to bring the Note to the Vice-Chancellour for that purpose.

VI. That the Library-keepers shall have a Book wherein they shall set down the names of what Books are lent out, and to whom, and for how long.

VII. That the Vice-Chancellour, or his Deputy with others that he shall call to his assistance, do every Year (or oftner if he shall think fit) in the long Vacation visit and survey all the Books in the Library, by the Classical Catalogue: And in case they find any to be wanting, to deduct so much out of the Library-keepers Salary as will be sufficient to purchase the like again for the Library: according to a Decree of the University made in the Year 1667.

VIII. That every one who in the Opinion of the Library-keeper shall return any Book considerably soil'd, blotted or defac'd, stand oblig'd to buy a new Book of the same kind, or else to pay double the value of such Book, and if he refuse to do so, that he be ipso facto depriv'd of the use of the Library for ever, by the Vice-Chancellour's declaring him so to be at the next Congregation.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
