Scope and Contents

Notes of Sermons, taken from William Gurnall's 'The Christian in compleat armour'. The first page of the volume is paginated 105, and this continues to the end of the second part on page 358. The third part is unnumbered, but spans 54 pages. The hand which writes these sections is a clear and simple secretary hand, showing some italic influences.

The last 8 pages of the volume are in a much neater hand and are written in Latin. Some of the pages are inverted, and one shows signs of damage and repair.

The spine has been rebound, and bears the title 'Notes of Sermons'. The boards are older, and have 'G.B.' embossed front and back. Remnants of two clasps are present, but end papers are not.

From the General Assembly Library.
