Title
Hastings Irish Papers, Box 18
Shelfmark
HA 14079
Creation Date
ca. 1660 - 1664
Contents Note

Two pages of notes; one page has been torn in half. At the top of this page is written: "more meditations upon sullied paper such as anyone prisoner can afford", suggesting that Bramhall wrote this while imprisoned in 1641. On the back is written in another hand: "against self seekery I think by my Lord Primat".

Provenance

The Irish Papers Box 18 contains several letters to John Bramhall, so this sermon could have been enclosed with a letter. Bramhall's surviving papers are mainly within the Hastings manuscripts as his eldest daughter, Isabel, married Sir James Graham, son of the earl of Menteith. Isabelle and Graham's son Francis Rawdon (later Rowdon-Hastings) would go on to be second earl of Moira and first marquess of Hastings.

Acquisition

The Hastings Collection was purchased by the Huntington Library in January 1927 from Maggs Bros. of London, who had acquired the papers from Edith Maud Abney-Hastings, Countess of Loudoun.
