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. Vol. 6 is dated April 20, 1700 and contains the a title and comment found in similar form in each volume: Sermons on several subjects per O. W.
Following this is written: "Hastily studdyed & [there]for confusedly written this being only a repository for g[ene]rall heads pop[ular]: discourses etc yt they may not be lost as g[ene]rally they are when writt in loose papers."
It is conjectured that the author was Obadiah Wills, sometime (to 1660) Rector of
Alton Barnes, Wiltshire, licensed as a Congregationalist preacher at Devizes in 1672.
The volume contains notes for eighteen sermons on six different texts.
pp. 282. This volume is in better repair than earlier volumes, where the leaves are coming away from the binding. The very last page of the volume begins to put down thoughts on 1 Peter 5:8, but they are not developed enough to merit an entry.
