Contents Note

A collection of sermons written by Francis Frampton, a preacher based in Dorset. Various notes are written on pp. 460-462, including a list of names under the heading "Palme Sunday" (p. 461) which might be a record of who attended a sermon, and a list of Bible texts (p. 460). After the sermons, the volume also contains a printed text, The Whole Book of Psalms by Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins (Cambridge, 1628).

Material Features

463 pages of sermons (but pp. 402-449 are missing) followed by 92 pages of printed text. The writing goes forward on pp. 1-25 (odd numbers only), 27-301v, and 344-350. It goes upside-down and backward on pp. 12-24 (even numbers only), 302-343, and 350-462. The two directions run into each other on p. 350.
