Contents Note

Sermon notebook owned by an unidentified preacher in the early eighteenth century. The cataloguer notes that one of the sermons was preached by at Cuckfield, Sussex on the occasion of an ordination by the Bishop of Chichester (Thomas Manningham), but it is unclear which of the sermons the cataloguer is referring to. The volume includes several preachings beyond the GEMMS date range, up to ca. 1746, which have not been included here.
