And although the treasurer and benchers of this Society are resolved not to observe only the number of exercises done by any student ot this House, yet they are resolved also not from henceforth to call any to the bar who shall not be a known student and hath performed so much of the exercises as shall give sufficient testimony of their abilities to be called to the degree of an utter barrister."
