Princeps Judicialis, or, The Judge.
HEre is a set form of a Sessions; a Court of Judicature, more Judiciali. The Tyroes declame: the Theams five, 1. Horn-book, 2. the Hawke, 3. Long Tayle, 4. Knave of Clubs, 5. A Noune is the Name of a Thing.
Before the Declamation each fresh Declamer takes his Briny Dos of water and salt; from the hand of the Tyro-guardian: at every stand, or dead lift, they are helpt out, by their Suggester, and nimble-tongu'd Patron Monseiur de la Misrule; and at last by his mediation, Annuit Princeps, the Bils of Indictment are expunged; Et donantur Pileo Tyrones: made free of the Col∣ledge. Exit Misrule.
Misrule within sends Message to the Monitor Monitorum; He craves excuse for his absence a while; A flourish of Cornets. Forthwith return in form of a pontificall Train the 5 Counter-plotters; Misrule in the midst as a Prince; and the Schollars Cap advanced upon a Trunchion, more triumphali: He is made to give account of his device, that no offence be given or taken; and after some Questions problematically propounded by the Prince; He and his seniors are invited to an Astronomicall dance in reference to the Planets, with Laurels, each bearing a star advan∣ced frontwise. After this the Prince returns to his Chaire, gives his charge to the Tyrones, Juniors, and Seniors in their turns, con∣cluding that Religion is the finis ultimatus, the ultimate End of all our Sudies; and Humility the last work of Religion, ending with this Motto, Quantò doctior, tantò submissior; withall couching briefly in a fourfold distinction, the four Ends of all mens Aca∣demicall labours, 1. Mechanicall, ditescere, 2. Sophisticall, cla∣rescere, 3. Philosophicall, cognoscere, and 4. Angelicall, videre Deum. i. e. Practic••s, se abnegando.
