WALTER BLANDFORD, Doctor in Divinity, and Vicechancellor of the University of Oxford, to all Persons, whom it may concern, Greeting.  
Whereas all Vndergraduates, and Minors whatsoever, are strictly accountable in all their matters of Bargain, and expense, to their respective Tutors, and Governors, and ought not by the Laws, and Ancient Usages of this Place to be Trusted, or Dealt with for any Sum, or Thing exceeding Five Shillings in Value, without the approbation of the said Tutors and Governors: And that notwithstanding, several Persons have of late presumed to Trust, and Deal with Young Scholars for very great Values, to the utter debauching of many of them, and the unsufferable affront to public Discipline. These are straightly to Charge and Require all manner of Persons, as Mercers, Booksellers, and all others, Privileged, or not Privileged, of what Quality, Trade, or Occupation, soever, that from the day of the Date hereof, they do not Buy, Sell, Trust, or Bargain with any Undergraduate, or Minor whatsoever, that hath his Residence, or Name in any College, or Hall, within this University, for any Sum, or Thing above the said Value of Five Shillings, without the knowledge, and express approbation of his Tutor, or Governor respectively, under the pain of being proceeded against (by Dispriviledging, Discommoning, Imprisonment, etc. according to the Quality of the Person, and Nature of the Offence) as a Perturber of the Peace, and Good Government of this Place.  
We likewise further require and command all such as have trusted, or dealt with Undergraduates, without the knowledge of their respective Tutors, beyond the Value of Five Shillings aforesaid, that they bring in true Bills of all such Credits and Demands as are yet unpaid them, to the respective Tutors, or Governors concerned, at, or before the Twentieth Day of February next after the Date hereof, under the Pains and Penalties aforesaid, to be Inflicted upon all such as shall neglect, or refuse.
