sociis ac aliis intraneis claves habentibus liber pateat introitus,
dummodo extraneos non inducat, nisi pro quibus ipsi inducentes
suo periculo voluerint respondere. Scriptores autem forinsecus pro
copiis librorum habendis nolumus aliquo tempore anni post solis
occasum in librariam aliquo modo expectare; socios autem, si cum
lumine candelae eos studere aut scribere contigerit, pro periculis
evitandis se omnino cavere volumus; nec aliquem non socium extra
collegium nisi in praesentia magistri vel alicujus socii in libraria
ipsa post solis occasum persistere permittimus ullo modo; intraneos
autem commensales nostros, sicut et socios ejusdem aulae, de volun-
tate magistri sive in ejus absentia praesidentis, sicut dicti collegii
socios permittimus licentiam1.
1 A great part of this statute, namely from the beginning to the words illico reportetur
and Statuentes insuper to voluerint respondere, is taken from the 59th Statute of King’s
College (Heywood and Wright, p. 146) with a few necessary verbal changes.
