Contents Note

Along with MS. Rawl. E. 166, contains sermons by Richard Baylie written in his own hand. Includes a university bidding prayer on f. 1r written during the reign of Charles II.

Material Features

Paper, 54 leaves, 8 x 5 1/4 inches. A confusing manuscript: after f. 7v, at least 6 leaves appear to have been cut out, so it is not clear whether the sermon ending on f. 7v is complete. However, there are numbers continuous with the sermon’s contemporary pagination on the stubs of the leaves. (Numbers 12 through 16 are visible, at least in part.)

Source of Data

Jeanne Shami; Bodleian Library Summary Catalogue, vol. 3

Other Note

One of the sermons was preached in 1645/6 and the other was preached during the reign of Charles II (but before Baylie's death in 1667). According to the cataloguer, Baylie was identified as the author and preacher by William Dunn Macray.
