Paper ends: 'The doctors of doctors' commons have taken leases of the colledge at fines and rents theis 100 yeares, and never till of late que[st]ioned the same, and most of the doctors doe still take leases on fines and rents. The only question is whether the lease of the deane and chapter be a trust for the doctors.'
