Page 25 - Matthew 15:22

MS GUT 1.2. Notes of sermons in 7 volumes. The previous catalogue states that this is a transcript of Guthrie's own manuscript, however the scribe has faithfully transcribed gathering signatures indicative of a printed book. Volume 1 bears the signature of Martha Williamson on a front flyleaf. All 7 volumes are in the same clear secretary hand, which holds some italic features.
