Contents Note

ff. 1-38 gives notes for a series of sermons on Chapters 1 and 2 of Luke's Gospel, running from October to February. The preacher is unknown. The first few entries are damaged extensively by damp and so are illegible. These sermons are not in Higgin's hand. ff. 39-93 give biblical commentaries and other assorted notes, and are potentially in Higgin's hand.
