Via ac ratio scholae illustrium d.d. Rhaetorum qui nomine Trium Foederum nuncupantur

And for the execution of this edict, the aforementioned Magistrate has already provided for the principal master and moderator of the school, who is endowed with singular learning, judgment, and probity of character. To him, two other suitable masters shall be added, since it is impossible for the students' benefit that one and the same master should bear such a burden. Thus, every head of a family may safely entrust his children to be instructed in this school, without the loss of time and the risk of making expenses on illiterate or otherwise unsuitable masters. Furthermore, the more accurately described orders of the school (so that with all diligence, as has been said, care may be given to teaching the boys) shall rest with the Magnificent Governor and Vicar and their successors, who shall undertake the care and patronage of the school, so that neither unlearned nor inept masters are chosen, and so that those already chosen perform their duty; otherwise, they shall be removed.

Since, however, it has been decided by the counsel of the illustrious Three Leagues that the school shall be common to both those who follow the Mass and those who follow the preaching of the Gospel, so that all may be equally instructed in good letters and morals without any obstacle or perturbation of anyone's religion, those who adhere to the Mass shall observe the feast days prescribed for them. On such days (provided their number is large), common lectures shall be postponed, and the Evangelicals shall be instructed separately in their Catechism and Religion, so that peace and harmony in the school and the public good may be preserved without hindrance to anyone.

Therefore, the aforementioned magnificent Magistrate exhorts parents everywhere to send their children freely to this school, so that, increased in good letters and morals, they may turn out to be good, learned men and useful to the fatherland. He wishes it to be decreed under the penalty of losing the favor of the illustrious Three Leagues, and a fine of one hundred crowns, to be paid partly to the judgment of the Chamber and partly to the school itself, that no one of any order, condition, or status dare oppose this holy and useful institute of the school, or the decree of the Magistrate himself, or in any way whatsoever, publicly or privately, place an obstacle in the way. For everyone is bound rather to favor such an undertaking and to be of assistance with all their power, lest they incur the most serious crime of ingratitude toward God and the Lords of the illustrious Three Leagues, and the perturbation of the public good.
