Copies of the opinions of three very eminent and learned gentlemen, in regard to the construction of an university statute, having yesterday been printed and dispersed; it has been requested of another person, in this place, (much inferior, it is owned, to them all in every respect) to throw together a few observations in vindication of the sentiments of his friends and himself upon this occasion. And this he has rather chosen to do in the form of an argument than of an opinion.
