Contains: a table of contents; a copy of Bishop West's Statutes [of 1517], as revised by the Royal Visitors of 1549-50, with a new statute added by the Visitors of 1559-60 (at fol. 14 verso, with Visitors' signatures); and the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635.

West's statutes are written in a 16th century hand, with an elaborate capital at fol. 1. There are a few marginal notes in a 17th century hand.

The added statute is signed at the foot by five of the Visitors: William Byll., Walter Haddon, William Mey, Robert Horn and Ja. Pilkinton. It is followed (fol. 15 recto) by the notarial mark and statement of Anthony Harison certifying the document as a true copy.

The copied royal letter of 1635 is similarly marked by John Scott, notary and registrar of the University.

Richard Duport, son of Dr Duport, sometime Master of the College, gives up to the College, for £10, his right and interest in the patronage of the Rectory of Harlton, and binds himself to confirm this right by next Easter, 1636, for a further £10.

Copy of Bishop West's statutes after the 1549 revision and with the Elizabethan extra statute, in an early 17th century formal hand with marginal notes by Roger Andrewes (Master 1618-32). The signatures at f.123 are also copies and have been annotated in another hand, probably Andrewes'. The preliminary leaves have notes in Latin about the geographical origins of Fellows, an index to the statutes, and notes about Fellows elected "in my predecessors tyme", which phrase indicates that this is Roger Andrewes' hand.

The later part of the volume has a copy of the interpretation of the Statute "De Numero Sociorum" by King Charles I, 1635, and copies of letters and other documents concerning appointments to and tenure of fellowships, 1614-1638. The last leaf has rough notes by Andrewes similar to those at the start of the volume. A Christmas reading from the Gospel of St Matthew ch.1 appears loose at fol. 95, apparently used as a bookmark.
