man of the name of Blundell, complaining of the present state

of colleges, professors, fellows, and tutors of the University
of Oxford, praying for the removal of the present subscrip-

which were totally unnecessary, and that it would become
both the great Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, con-
sidering the immense number of her Majesty's subjects not
members of the Church of Englad, if they were to open
the benefits of those universities: without requiring from
them a declaration of their assent to the Thirty-nine
Articles.
