Note of Sermon(s)

Gataker writes concerning Dr Micklethwaite's (i.e. most likely Paul Micklethwaite's) sermon.

‘Mr Wilson (as I remember) he is called, sometime ushior [i.e. usher] at Merchant taylors schole, whose sermon […] was much offence taken at […]’

Jenison writes to Ward expressing his wish that two of his sermons be printed at Cambridge. He informs Ward that he also 'directed to Doctor Sibbs a copy (such as could be take[n]) of Doc[to]r Jackso[n]s Sermo[n] here on Jude ye 4' to be transcribed for Ward, or else sent to him. As that particular sermon was preached in Newcastle, it is likely that this 'Doc[to]r Jackso[n]' is Thomas Jackson (1578-1640).

Ward responds to Beale’s critical remarks on Ward’s ‘latyne Sermon’. Ward provides page numbers for the sermon, which is probably Samuel Ward, Gratia Discriminans (London, 1626).

Goad writes as a postscript on fol. 73v that ‘This Day Dr. Wineff made a very Elegant & ffree Sermon in Whitehall Chappel […]’. The letter is dated 5 April 1622, and Goad is writing from Lambeth.

Spinedge defends himself against one of his sermons, the content of which Sancroft objected to.

On fol. 4, Lloyd has written the following: 'I have sent yo[ur] Grace part of 2 of my Sermons. One is, of yt Sermon wch I preacht at Court on Psalm Sunday \on Phil. II.10./ [...] The other is part of ye Sermon yt I preacht at St Martins last Sunday on 2 Pet. III. 9. That Sermon I preacht before ye King at Whitehall in Lent 1680.' On fol. 5 (dated 'Feb. 15 at night'; no year given), Lloyd has written again to Sancroft asking him to peruse the enclosed, and to 'send it back with yo[ur] Alterations'.

'On Simon & Judes feast last one of University College preached a Sermon for 3 infinite substances.' This preacher (name not given) provided a rebuttal against Robert South, prompting a counter-protest from him.

Larroque is likened to ‘a prodigal renegade’. Bernard criticises the fact that Larroque had written a ‘homily’ on Saturday, which was then ‘preacht the next day, & printed the third’.

'Dr. French preached a good Sermon last Sunday [...]'
