Do therefore recommend them to the Board accordingly: At the same
Time, as this is the first Time of their executing what was formerly

ginning at C.39 of B.4. till the Second Tuesday In May (over and above
all regular Duties) then to be given In to the Board, at their Annual
Meeting, which being approv'd of, and the Exercises which they owe at
present being paid, the Committee will recommend them to all reasonable
Lenity [p. 27] Lenity: But Amory not to stir out oJ College^ from Morn¬
ing to Evening Prayers, each Day; on Account of his unprecedented
neglect of Prayers and other Duties, till the Day aforesaid:

The others to be dealt with according to their former Resolution;
i.e., recommended to the Board for Degradation, till they shall have com¬
pleted Double of every Task they owe, and shall be deem'd worthy
of Restoration.

Moncrieffe, tho' ordered by the Committee, to stay within the College-
walls 'till he had performed his Exercises, having gone frequently and
repeatedly out, to be recommended as above.
