Includes two sermons written c. 1610-1620, one on 2 Chronicles 25:9 (ff. 9v-21r) and one on 1 Corinthians 11:23-24 (ff. 21r-31r), preceded by a bidding prayer. Also includes a manuscript of part of a Latin comedy about Hannibal, probably written in the late 16th century.

The two sermons and the bidding prayer are all written in the same hand.
