Description

This is a fragment of an anonymous sermon diary, comprising one folio-sized leaf which has been folded up into several parts. It is written in a fairly fluent secretary hand, with minimal errors. Reports of sermons include the following: an anonymous sermon on Luke 2:14 'At Paules' [10 April 1597]; a sermon on Romans 8:30 by 'Mr Hayward', delivered on 17 April [1597]; a sermon by 'Mr Clark', preached on 1 May [1597] concerning 'Esay' [i.e. Isaiah] (text: Isaiah 24:16); and an undated sermon by 'Mr Mounds' on an unspecified text.
