MS. Rawl. D. 142 - Sermons and miscellaneous theological observations

Contains 24 sermons (pp. 16-630), all by Robert Leighton, Archbishop of Glasgow, except one (pp. 64-69) by James Nairn. It is written in the hand of a scribe who wrote two volumes of copies of Leighton's sermons (MSS. Rawl. E. 26-27). This seems to be another volume of Leighton's homiletic writings. It also contains miscellaneous theological writings, including a discussion of conscience (p. 1), "The differences of sin, in respect of reason, will, and affection" (p. 29), English and Latin notes on spiritual beauty/pulchritudo (p. 61), numerous other theological subjects (pp. 111-286, 310-327, 364-366, 386-394, 489) and a discussion of "Ecclesiasticall Rules and Constitutions for order and discipline to be observed in the Church of Scotland" (fifteen chapters, p. 633).
