This manuscript witness contains insertions and cancellations in the hands of both Andrewes and Wright, and provides a rare insight into the composition and revision practices of Andrewes. According to Klemp, this witness differs greatly from the seventeenth-century printed versions. See Klemp, p. 152 n. 14.
