A vindication of Mr. James Colmar, Bachelor of Physick and Fellow of Exeter College in Oxford from the calumnies of three late pamphlets, 1. A paper publish'd by Dr. Bury, 1689, 2. The account examin'd, 3. The case of Exeter College related and vindicated : to which are annex'd the authentick copies of the affidavits relating to that affair.

3. The Credit of the Person accus'd.

This Head might possibly be accus'd as vain, if the Malice of Mr. Colmers Adversaries had not made it necessary. In one of the late Libels he hath been tax'd as a Person formerly guilty of Im∣moralities, tho upon enquiry it will appear that those Accusations are equally groundless, and far less plausible than the present Charge. He was first elect∣ed into Corpus Christi College from Exeter, and was thence elected Fellow by those of Exeter, and the Testimonials which he lately has receiv'd from all the Fellows of that College, then and now Re∣sident, sufficiently shew what Opinion they former∣ly had, and still retain of his Morals and good Be∣haviour amongst them. The late concern of the Fellows of Exeter in his behalf, the dismission of the Cause by the Vice-Chancellor, and the Receipt of the Appeal by the Right Reverend Visitor will sufficiently shew that he is disrespected by none there, but Dr. Bury and his Confederates. And above all the rest, there cannot be a clearer Instance of the good Opinion of the whole University than that with∣out any contradiction, his Degree in Physick with a Li∣centia Practicandi was lately granted to him, and by consequence his Morals were upon that strict enquiry,

fully approv'd by the University in General, and by these of his own Profession in particular. And therefore till Dr. Bury can equally approve himself to that Learned and Judicious Body, it is not to be doubted but that his Calumnies against him will be no more successful in their effects, then they are true in themselves.
