    Newton attended a royal meeting concerning his unsuccessful effort to become provost of King’s College, Cambridge. The king favored him, but the college defended its statutory choice. The surrounding source discusses Newton's candidacy and preparations; his participation is sufficiently established, although the quoted sentence names the meeting rather than individually listing attendees.
