Contents Note

Notebook of preacher’s notes for 69 sermons. The later sermons have more corrections. Where multiple sermons are preached on a text, only the new date indicates the beginning of a new sermon. A number of the later sermons are catechismal sermons and several texts are noted for these sermons. There is a note at foot of p. 303: “In apprile about ye time of ye Gen: Ass. Other Ministers preached for me. And about the Comm: in Edr: in ap: and in Liberton in June I preached on other Texts that are in another book.” This accounts for a gap of a few months in the order of the sermons, between 30 March 1707 and 22 June 1707.
