Contents Note

Text by John Weaver written to "Madame Gough" on the illness and death of Judith Weaver, Mme. Gough's sister and John's sister-in-law (f. 1). Ends with a long poem about Judith describing her conversion, which was inspired by a sermon at Westminster Abbey by "Mr. Roe" (possibly John Rowe). Followed by a sermon preached at Judith's funeral (ff. 63-92) and "A psalm of praise for the promised glory" (f. 93b).
