tences. In token of their earnestness and as a fine against non-
appearance both sides deposited money with the Augustinian
prior and convent of S. Frideswide.
The four arbitrators chosen all met in person, the Bishop,
the Canon, and the two Friars, and gradually in London drew
up a document which was intended to give satisfaction allround.
It consisted of seven chief headings:
(i) In future the Dominicans could hold their disputations
in their own priory, but the rest should go to S. Marys,
(ii) The sermons and examinations of bachelors used to be
held in the Dominican and Franciscan churches, but for
the last twelve years had been transferred to S. Marys.
This was to stand, but in future each bachelor, before
lecturing in the Sentences, was in the Dominican church
to preach one sermon before the masters of the faculty
of theology on a Sunday assigned by the University,
(iii) The statute whereby no one was to profess Scripture
until after first taking a degree as bachelor in theology
was to remain.

(iv)Also the statute was to continue whereby none could
lecture on theology till after first graduating- in arts
except by a unanimous vote of the masters of the theo-
logical faculty.
(v) Yet no master was to veto such a dispensation out of
malice, and his reason for objecting might be chal-
lenged within ten days and discussed by the whole uni-versity.
(vi) No new statutes were to be passed without first being
put in writing and read to all the masters, and ten
copies were to be distributed to each faculty for dis-
cussion. Then after an interval of fifteen days the sug-
gested statute must have been confirmed by a majority
of any three faculties of which arts must be one.
(vii) The Dominicans were to retain their own free schools
in their priory, which were to be counted part of the
University, so that for lectures, disputations, and dis-
cussions, these satisfied as legitimate Oxford academic
functions.
