    EXTRACT
    FROM THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE REV. JOHN BAMPTON,
    PREBENDARY OF SALISBURY
    (Born I6go. Died 1751. First series of Lectures delivered on his Foundation 1779.)

    "I give and bequeath my Lands and Estates to the Chancellor,


    Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford for ever, to have
    and to hold all and singular the said Lands or Estates upon trust, and
    to the intents and purposes hereinafter mentioned ; that is to say, I
    will and appoint that the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford
    for the time being shall take and receive all the rents, issues, and
    profits thereof, and (after all taxes, reparations, and necessary deduc-
    tions made) that he pay all the remainder to the endowment of eight
    Divinity Lecture Sermons, to be established for ever in the said
    University, and to be performed in the manner following :
    "I direct and appoint, that . . . a Lecturer may be . . . chosen by
    the Heads of Colleges only, and by no others . . . to preach eight
    Divinity Lecture Sermons . . . at St. Mary's in Oxford. . . .
    "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 Creed.
    "Also I direct, that thirty copies of the eight Divinity Lecture
    Sermons shall be always printed . . . 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 be 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 Universities of Oxford or
    Cambridge; and that the same person shall never preach the Divinity
    Lecture Sermons twice."
