The Statute for weekly payments passed the first time, as follows;
' Every Fellow of the Society shall pay one shilling by the week, towards the charges of experiments and other expenses of the Society, so long as he shall continue a Fellow thereof: which continuance shall be accounted from this time of his Admission, until such time as he shall signify to the President under his hand, that he desireth to withdraw from the Society; or until upon any other account, he shall cease to be a Fellow thereof: And if any Fellow shall refuse to pay according to the rate aforesaid, he shall be ejected out of the Society, except the said Payment be remitted in whole or in part, by Special Order of the Council.'
