A sermon on charity. ‘Beloued since I came into this place I am tolde that I must exhort you to a charitable contribution to the poor...’ No biblical text specified.

The sermon commemorates the benefactions to Sandy Church, Bedfordshire, by John Wynne. This annual sermon was ordered to be preached in rotation by the
ministers of Sandy, Sutton, and Northill. The DWL cataloguer conjectures that the sermon was likely preached by William Steevens, but this is not certain. The sermon is complete, written in tiny handwriting (still legible), on small paper (unfoliated and unpaginated).
