The tenth item is described by Thomas Rud as a sermon (see Rud, p. 417). However, this item appears to be constructed more as a theological argument as opposed to a sermon. The GEMMS database records instead the eleventh item in Hunter MS 140. Although it is called a 'meditation', it appears to address a congregation and is structured, like a sermon, around a single text.
A meditation upon the 24. v. of the 17. ch. of the Gospel according to John -- 24 leaves, unfoliated and unpaginated
