Rich Na Oxoniū fectꝯ vt curatū sibi cōpararet. sept 17. h. 7. 40 ant m. 1605.
I intended to have mr Gouldyng mr Chettings scholler. but supping wth me yt night I know not how. I & my mā misliked of his countenance. wherfore I rose in ye morning & making my prayers vnto ye lord to send me an honest mā. I desyred mr Blundell to see wheathr he could get me on, & so by chance he bethought him of a young mā called mr Shakeston I liked of him well.
