It is possible that these accounts are not the final copy as many of them look as though they are working notes rather than the final accounts. It is also possible that the pages are not in order (despite being numbered at a later date in blue ink). This is suggested by the changes in handwriting in which the record is written. See also the leaf inserted inbetween pages 74 and 75 which towards the bottom mentions 'taking down of the altars'. As the preceding page is the accounts for 1554, this seems an unsual thing to be doing if it was the next page of accounts as it is only the 1st/2nd year into the reign of Queen Mary I (who clearly would not be instructing for any altars to be taken down).
The majority of the accounts are, however, generally written on a weekly basis and are written over two pages being split into five main sections: the first page listing arrearages (money paid in to the College account), the second lists income from estates, the third lists payments to fellows for teaching or preaching, the fourth lists general expenses and the fifth lists wages.
