------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. That all the Scholars living in College shall without exception breakfast dine and Sup in the College Hall; saving, in Case of Sickness, when they shall be under the direction of the President; or in his absence, of such Gentlemen belonging to the Corporation as reside in Cambridge.
2. That the Necessary Provision, for this purpose, shall be purchased by the Steward, with the College Stock, without his making any advance or Proffit thereon.
3. That the allowance to the Steward shall be as follows viz [followed by truncation symbol]: £150 {per} {annum} Salary & £50 {per} {annum} for Cooks & other help: in Consideration whereof he shall at the College Expence, Provide Breakfast Dinner & Supper for the Scholars & do the whole duty of Steward without any other fee or Reward.

5. That the Tutors always dine in the Hall, unless occationally prevented, and have Liberty to ask any Strangers to dine with them. And perhaps it would not be amiss, if the President & Proffessors would now & then dine in the Hall with them.

8. That every Scholar pay 7/. {per} Week for his whole Diet. ---- {which} will pay for the Provisions; for the allowance to ye Steward & Butler & for fire wood: and {per} Calculation (provided there be £20 in Commons at one & the same Time on {which} it is made will leave a
