Quest. 4. If they may not practise without admission of the College (as
their Letters Patents plainly import) Then whether such Graduates are
not subject to the examination, without which there were never any
admitted; and without which the admission cannot be approved; because
every Graduate is not absolutely good _ipso facto_?
Resp. It was resolved by all That all that practised or should practise
Physick either in _London_ or within the compass of seven miles of the
same, must submit themselves to the examination of the President and
College if they be required thereunto by their authority notwithstanding
any licence, allowance or privilege given them in _Oxford_ or
_Cambridge_ either by their degree or otherwise.
Concerning Punishment & Correction against Offenders.
Quest. 1. Whether the President and four Censors together, or the
Censors alone may not commit to Prison without bail or mainprize all
Offenders in the Practice of Physick according to the Statute of _primo
Mariæ_ and how long, whether till he have paid such Fine as shall be
assessed upon him, or have submitted himself to their Order, and in what
manner?——
Resp. They all resolved, That for not well doing using or practising the
faculty or Art or Physick or for disobedience or contempts done and
committed against any Ordinance made by the College, by virtue and
according to the power and authority to them granted, they may commit
the Offenders without bail or mainprize, as the words of the Statute
are. Which they all resolved, would not be altered or interpreted
otherwise than the express words of the Statute are.
Quest. 2. Whether they may not commit to prison for disobedience and
contempt of the private Statutes and Ordinances of the College made for
the better Government thereof, and for not payment of such reasonable
fines as shall be imposed by the President and Censors for maintenance
of the said College, among the Members of the same College?
Resp. They all resolved, That the President and College might commit to
prison for offences and disobedience done and committed against any
lawfull Ordinance made by the said College, and might impose reasonable
fines for the breach thereof, and detain the parties committed till
these fines were satisfied.
Quest. 3. Whether they may not justly take upon every admission a
reasonable sum of money for the better maintenance and defraying of
necessary expences, as in other Corporations?
Resp. They all held That they might take such reasonable sums.
Quest. 4. Whether those onely are to be committed that are Offenders in
_Non bene exequendo, faciendo & utendo facultate Medicinæ_, as in the
Letters Patents; and such as are sufficient and not admitted, are to be
sued for 5 li. a month and not be committed?
