MS 28.19 - Sermons of Obadiah Wills, Volume 3

This is one of eleven small bound volumes of sermons, being vols. 2-4 and 6-13 of a series, hastily written in a uniform hand throughout. On the front page is written what appears on all of the volumes: Sermons on sev[er]all subjects by O. W, followed by a statement that these are "hastely studdyed & confusedly written this being only a repository for g[ener]all heads pop[ular]: discourses, etc. yt they may not be lost as grally they are when writt in loose papers." According to the table on p. 273 there appear to be three texts (and eleven sermons) on which sermon are taken. It is difficult if not impossible to tell where the divisions between sermons are for sermons on the same text. The author is conjectured to be Obadiah Wills. That these are a preacher's notes is suggested by the fact that the scriptural texts are written in Greek as well as English.
