Scope and content
Has finished his degree and now has more time. Notes that much good work has been done in the University and the town, and he has made many enemies because many people think he has been 'at the bottom of it all.' Was due to stay on at College but cannot agree to the conditions set him by the Master of the College concerning his not trying to make converts in the town and not distributing alms, though hopes his tutor will be able to persuade the Master to change his mind. Notes the growing number of gownsmen who are turning to his way of thinking and mentions a preacher who is attracting large crowds.
