Christian."
II. THE TYMES APPOINTED TO EVERIE COURSE.
Two yearis we think more then sufficient to learne to read perfitelie,
to answer to the Catechisme, and to have some entresse in the first
rudimentis of Grammar; to the full accomplischement whairof, (we meane
of the Grammar,) we think other thre or foure yearis at most,
sufficient. To the Artis, to wit, Logick and Rethorick, and to the
Greik toung, foure yeiris; and the rest, till the aige of twenty-foure
yearis to be spent in that studye, whairin the learnar wald proffit
the Churche or Commoun-wealth, be it in the Lawis, or Physick or
Divinitie: Whiche tyme of twenty-foure yearis being spent in the
schollis, the learnar most be removed to serve the Churche or
Commoun-wealth, unless he be fund a necessarie Reidare in the same
Colledge or Universitie. Yf God shall move your heartis to establische
and execut this Ordour, and put these thingis in practise, your hole
Realme, (we doubt nott,) within few yearis, shall serve the self of
trew preacharis, and of uther officiaris necessarie for your
Common-wealth.
III. THE ERECTIOUN OF UNIVERSITEIS.
The Grammar Schollis and of the Toungis being erectit as we have said,
nixt we think it necessarie thair be three Universities in this whole
Realme, establischeit in the Tounis accustumed.[462] The first in
Sanctandrois,[463] the secound in Glasgow,[464] and the thrid in
Abirdene.[465]
[462] In edit. 1621, "in three Townes."--It will be observed that this
was in 1560; and that the University of Edinburgh was not founded till
the year 1582; and Marischall College and University of Aberdeen till
1593.

[464] The University of Glasgow, founded in 1450.
[465] The University and King's College of Aberdeen, founded in 1494.
And in the first Universitie and principall, whiche is SANCTANDROIS,
thair be thre Colledgeis. And in the first Colledge, quhilk is the
entre of the Universitie, thair be four classes or saigeis: the first,
to the new Suppostis, shalbe onlie Dialectique; the nixt, onlie
Mathematique;[466] the thrid, of Phisick onlie; the fourt of Medicine.
And in the secound Colledge, twa classes or seigeis: the first, in[467]
Morall Philosophie; the secound in[467] the Lawis. And in the thrid
College, twa classes or seigeis: the first, in[467] the Toungis, to wit,
Greek and Hebreu; the secound, in[467] Divinitie.

Study;" to this the edition 1722 adds, "and of Principals and Rector,
and of Bursars."
