Contents Note
Notes of a sermon, unclear if they are auditor's notes or preacher's notes.
Material Features
Bound in waste vellum that seems to have been used by a child (or the scribe of this manuscript) to practice their penmanship. Written in a very clear, large, round hand. Described as sermon notes but are very extensive. Every point of the sermon has been separated from the other by a dashed line. There has been some damage to the centre of the manuscript.

This collection mainly relates to Philip Henry (1631-96), the nonconformist preacher, and his son, Matthew Henry (1662-1714).
