He seemed bent on destroying the reputations of everyone connected with the show, admitted bitterly envying Charles Van Doren, the man who defeated him.

After 16 years, most of them spent as a Dominican missionary in Mexico and Guatemala, Gage returned to England in 1637 and renounced Catholicism. He became a Protestant clergyman, and his book was written mostly to establish his respectability in Protestant eyes.
