The commonplace book is unfoliated and unpaginated and consists of reports in one hand of fourteen sermons by eleven Puritan preachers (1638-1640) as well as notes in a different hand of thirteen further discourses (1672-1677). A later hand has suggested that the materials in the reverse part of the volume appear to have been written by a brother or sister of John Whitlock. The hand in the second half of the volume is childish, with phonetic irregular spelling, suggesting perhaps that the writer is female, but this is pure conjecture. The volume is written in one direction with several blank leaves in the middle, and in reverse from the other side of the volume.
The volume is bound in quarter leather. On the spine is gold tooling and a label of red leather, tooled and lettered in gold, M. S.
