Die Jovis 28. August. 1645.  
WHereas for divers years there hath not been any Election of Scholars in the College of Eton, and this year by reason there was no Provost settled in King's College in Cambridge, the time appointed for such Election by the Statutes of the College of Eton is elapsed: It is therefore Ordained by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, That there may, and shall be an Election of Scholars in manner as hath been heretofore accustomed before the thirtieth day of October next following, and that such Election shall be valide and of force, as if it had been made in the time appointed by the said Statute of the said College. And it is further Ordained by the Authority aforesaid, That all the Rents and Revenues belonging to the College of Eton to be received and disbursed for the immediate use of the said College, shall be freed and discharged of and from all Assessments, Taxes, and Charges whatsoever, as well already made, as hereafter to be made, or charged by virtue of any Ordinance of Parliament.
