"Also I direct and appoint, that the eight Divinity Lecture
Sermons shall be preached upon either of the following
Subjects -- to confirm and establish the Christian Faith, and
to confute all heretics and schismatics -- upon the Divine
authority of the Holy Scriptures -- upon the authority of the
writings of the primitive Fathers, as to the faith and practice
of the primitive Church -- upon the Divinity of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ -- upon the Divinity of the Holy Ghost --
upon the Articles of the Christian Faith, as comprehended in
the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.

"Also I direct that thirty copies of the eight Divinity
Lecture Sermons shall be always printed within two months
after they are preached; and one copy shall be given to the
Chancellor of the University, and one copy to the head of
every College, and one copy to the Mayor of the City of Oxford,
and one copy to be put into the Bodleian Library; and the
expense of printing them shall be paid out of the revenue of
the Land or Estates given for establishing the Divinity Lecture
Sermons; and the Preacher shall not be paid, nor entitled to
the revenue, before they are printed.

"Also I direct and appoint, that no person shall be qualified
to preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons, unless he hath taken
the degree of Master of Arts at least, in one of the two Uni-
versities of Oxford or Cambridge; and that the same person
shall never preach the Divinity Lecture Sermons twice."
