Contents Note

Robert Fleming's notes for his Fordham Lectures, 1703. Some seem to be by others or subsequently given by others, including Mr. Scandrett, Mr. Bury, and Mr. Wright. A list at the front of the manuscript entitled "Intended Subjects for Fordham Lectures" and signed "Ro:[bert] Fl:[eming]" identifies the texts and preachers associated with each sermon or set of notes for a sermon. Lists at the back of the volume indicate who actually preached the sermons described.

Material Features

74 leaves. The volume has a white calf binding with a working clasp.

Source of Data

Other Note

The dating is confusing. The manuscript was apparently composed in 1690-1691, but the sermons have the date 1703 in the heading. It is possible they were composed and delivered in 1690-1691 and only written out in full in 1703. This manuscript is cited in Ian M. Green, Continuity and Change in Protestant Preaching in Early Modern England (London: Dr Williams's Trust, 2009), p. 37 n. 90.
