Quest. 1. Whether Graduates of Oxford and Cambridge may practise in _London_ or seven miles compass of the same without licence under the said College Seal, by virtue of the clause in the end of the Statute of 14. H. 8. and whether that clause hath not relation to the Statute of 3. H. 8. onely, or how far it doth extend?
Resp. All resolved, that no Graduate that is not admitted and licenced by the President and College of Physicians under their Common Seal, could practise in London or within 7 miles compass of the same.
Quest. 2. Whether, by Graduates, Graduates in Physick onely are to be understood?——
Resp. They resolved That the exception in the Statute of 14. H. 8. cap. 5. of Graduates in the two Universities, is to be understood onely of Graduates of Physick and of no others. And all resolved, That by that exception those Graduates may practise in all other places of _England_ out of _London_ and 7 miles of the same without examination; But not in _London_ nor within the said Circuit of 7 miles.
Quest. 3. If Graduates not admitted to practise in _London_ practise there, whether, for evil practice or misdemeanor therein, they be not subject to the Corporation and Government of the College?
Resp. They all agreed, That they are subject to the Government and correction of the College by an express Clause of the said Charter enacted which giveth to the President and College _Supervisionem Scrutinium, Correctionem & Gubernationem_ as well of all persons using the practise of Medicine within the City &c.
Quest. 4. If they may not practise without admission of the College (as their Letters Patents plainly import) Then whether such Graduates are not subject to the examination, without which there were never any admitted; and without which the admission cannot be approved; because every Graduate is not absolutely good _ipso facto_?
Resp. It was resolved by all That all that practised or should practise Physick either in _London_ or within the compass of seven miles of the same, must submit themselves to the examination of the President and College if they be required thereunto by their authority notwithstanding any licence, allowance or privilege given them in _Oxford_ or _Cambridge_ either by their degree or otherwise.
