LIcebit Praesidi, vel Ministerio Pincipis, vel magnatis alicujus curâ detento, vel multitudine alio∣rum negotiorum oppresso, Pro-Praesi∣dem eligere, & sibi substituere; is vero Praeses natus sit, si commode per aetatem, negotia, aut valetudinem fi∣eri potest; sin minus ex Electoribus aliquis, qui gravitate, recto judicio, experientiâ, diligentiâ, & agendi ala∣critate polleat, pro Praesidis volunta∣te & arbitrio.
Hujus Officjum erit, supplere lo∣cum Praesidis absentis in omnibus Col∣legii negotiis gerendis, & admini∣strandis, quae commodè per Praesidem obiri nequeant.
Sit ei Locus, & Dignitas pro gra∣du & senioritate, nisi cum Praeses ab∣fuerit; tum enim Praesidis locum oc∣cupabit, sed in Collegio tantùm, loco nimirum Comitiorum ordinario; ab∣esse autem Praesidem intelligimus, non modò si extra Urbem, & Subur∣bia fuerit, sed etiam, si morbo ali∣quo, aut gravioribus negotiis in Ur∣be detentus adesse nequeat. Sed in his casibus, volumus, ut absentiam su∣am, vel per literas propriâ manu sub∣scriptas, vel per Collegii Bedellum notum faciat.
Duret Officium pro negotio. Da∣bit fidem si Electores aequum judica∣verint, se pro virili curaturum ne∣gotia Collegii sibi commissa, & se∣dulò acturum omnia in honorem & u∣tilitatem Collegii, nihilque facturum, nisi judicio & consilio Praesidis, aut
consiliariorum, eorumque Sociorum, quorum per Statuta intererit.
