A key is provided at the beginning of the MS detailing the full names of the preachers and the page numbers for their sermons, only their initials are used in the individual sermons. The first page of the MS contains the following inscriptions - 'Jacobus Wodrow aught this book' 'in my defences God me defend Jaocbus Wodrow aught this book' 'Jacobus Wodrow it my hand.' There are other notes on the first and final pages.
A leather bound notebook, there is some damage to the cover and the original ties are largely missing. The paper is frayed around the edges and but the MS remains in largely good condition.

The sermons are numbered and the MS runs in two directions, with sermons 1-15 at the front, and sermons 1-6 going from the rear.
