The discussion and arguments contiuned, ‘‘ For all that day and two days 
following ” (that is to say Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, October 3rd, 4th, and 
5th)—and so cleverly and well did Master Brut hold his own in this trying ordeal, 
that from his declarations and writings ‘‘The Monks did gather and draw out

commission, made a sermon with the people, taking the second chapter of Romans 
for his subject : “‘ Be not overwise in your own conceits,” &c. (Reg. Trefnant.)
