I warrant thee a good proficient, but ere you can be admitted to my Lectures, you must be matriculated, and have your name recorded in Alba Academic. With all my heart Sir, and totaliter, for I have as great a mind as materia prima to be informed with your instructions. Give him the oath. Lay your hand on the book. Will tactus virtualis serve the turn Sir? No, it must be real quid, & extra intellectum. Well Sir, I will do it quoad potentiam obedientialem. First, you must swear to defend the honour of Aristippus, to the disgrace of Brewers, Alewives, & Tapsters, and profess yourself a foe nominales, to Maltmen, Tapsters, and red Lettices. Kiss the book. Next, you shall swear to observe the customs and ordinances instituted and ordained by an Act of Parliament in the reign of King Sigebert, for the establishing of good government in the ancient foundation of Miter College. Kiss the book. I Sir, Secundum veritatem intrinsecam, & non eqvivoce. That you keep all acts and meetings, tam privatim, in private houses, quam publicae, in the Dolphin Schools: that you dispute in tenebris, yet be not asleep at reckonings: but always and everywhere show yourself so diligent in drinking, that the Proctor may have no just cause to suspend you for negligence. Kiss the book. Lastly, that you never walk into the Town, without your habit of drinking, the fuddling Cap, and casting Hood; especially when there is a Convocation, and of all things take heed of running to the Assizes. Is this the end, I pray you Sir, is this the Finis? {non-Roman} {non-Roman} It is ultimum Sir. How pray you Sir, intention, or executione? that follows the Assizes. But methinks there is one Scrupulum, it seems to be actus illicitus, that we should drink so much, it being lately forbidden, and therefore Contra formam statuti. ay but therefore you are sworn to keep customs, Non omnino secundum formam statuti. What, have you enrolled him in Albo? have you fully admitted him into the society, to be a member of the body Academic? Yes Sir, I am one of your Pupils now, unitate numerica, we have made an end of it, secundum ultimum Complementum, & actualitatem. Well then, give the attendance. Most grave audience, considering how they thirst after my Philosophy, I am induced to let you taste the benefit of my knowledge, which cannot but please a judicious palate: for the rest I expel them my Schools, as fitter to hear Thales, and drink Water. We will attend Sir, and that bibulis auribus, The many errors that have crept into the science, to distract the curious Reader, are sprung from no other causes, then small Beer, and sober sleeps; whereas were the laudable custom of Sack drinking better studied, we should have fewer Gowns, and more Scholars. A good note, for we cannot see wood for trees, nor Scholars for Gowns.
