" Ward was overflowing with a rumbustious Jacobean appetite for all forms of the world around him. He loved wine and beer, he ate far too much cheese, he laughed too much, he loved eavesdropping on other people’s conversations, he lusted after women and had exciting dreams about ‘the grievous sinnes in T[rinity] Colledg, which had a woman which was [?carried] from chamber in the night tyme’, and was far too jolly. "
