[IN THE MARGIN: Order on the Latin Schools withis the Province of Holland.]

Has been read the Draft of the Order, one thus may print it for the implementation of the School Order in all the Latin Schools of this Province: Which, after deliberation, has been approved and ordered to be printed, and made to be observed everywhere.

The States of Holland and West-Frysia;
Now having learned for a long time the great disorder that has been held at the Latin Schools of its aforesaid Province, wherein each Headmaster created the Classes, and taught such Books as he found appropriate,
Or indeed was customary at that School;
And if the young Youth or Pupils thereafter will be brought to another School, other Classes, Lessons or Books have to be learned, to great delay of the studies; and what was worse, coming at the University, and there with other fundamentals learned, show themselves to have a troubling difference in knowledge: In order to provide for this, We had made the Curators of the University at Leyden hear the Chancellor and Senate of the aforesaid University about it, as well as the Representatives of both the Synods of this Province, particularly written to about this, and having heard these considerations in detail, orally as well as in writing, the aforesaid Senate by her Representatives from all this had made and formulated a certain order on the creation of the Classes and giving of the Lessons in all the Latin Schools of these Lands, which the aforesaid Curators have handed over to Us with their Advice; reading as follows hereafter.
