Finished his academical business this morning, before the "formidable appearance" of the "great wigs". Details of his future movements towards the Hague, Antwerp, and Brussels; feels some reluctance at leaving Holland and Leyden, "there is something very delightful [...] of being in a country of universal toleration & unbounded liberty"; discusses the Protestant reformers who sheltered here. Asks to be remembered to "all the dear dog-holians".
