The Colledge of Physicians vindicated, and the true state of physick in his nation faithfully represented in answer to a scandalous pamphlet, entituled, The corner stone, &c. / by Charles Goodall ...

As to the Censors,

They are yearly chosen by the President and major part of the Colledge, being four in number, and those grave and learned men: their Office is to take cognizance of all that practise Physick within London and seven miles of the same, sive nostrates fue∣rint, sive advenae, eosque examinare, cor∣rigere, gubernare, & lite (si opus sit) unà eum Praeside & Thesaurario persequi, eorum medendi rationes inquirere, &c. whether they be English or strangers, and to examine, cor∣rect, govern, and with the assistance of the President and Treasurer to prosecute them at Law, if there be occasion; and to enquire into the manner of their practice, &c. And that they may perform this their Office with the greater faithfulness, they are un∣der the obligation of a solemn Oath, which seeing it may give great satisfaction to all rational and inquisitive persons, how much it may tend to the encouragement of learn∣ing and industry, and the advancement of publick good, I have taken leave to ac∣quaint them with. Jurabunt coram Praesi∣de, se neminem in Collegium admittendum de∣•…•…eturos nisi quem, omni seposito affectu, judica∣verint

& literis & moribus idoneum; nec pre∣tio, prece vel gratiâ quenquam hominem ap∣probaturos, &c. They shall swear before the President, that they will admit no man into the Colledge, but whom (laying aside all affecti∣on) they shall judge worthy, by reason of his learning and good manners; neither shall they be drawn to the approbation of any man by re∣ward, entreaty or favour.
