A composite notebook bearing on the cover the name of Jeffrey Davies [Tirabad, Brecknockshire], 1822, and 'Llyfr III' and containing outlines of sermons, mainly in English, and a few Welsh hymns, etc. One of the hymns ('O Arglwydd rho dy wyneb cu') appears to be by Jeffrey Davies [the Reverend Jeffrey Davies is referred to in John Hughes, Methodistiaeth Cymru (Gwrecsam, 1856), III, 335 : he was ordained at Cardigan Association, August, 1830 and ordained deacon by the bishop of Llandaff, 7 April 1839. At the time of his death in 1844 he appears to have been curate of Cadoxton, Glamorgan (see D. Rhys Phillips, The History of the Vale of Neath, (Swansea, 1925), p. 83].

Notebooks and loose papers containing notes of sermons by, and in the hand of, the Reverend Hugh Pugh of Llandrillo and Mostyn. Cwrtmawr MSS 985 and 986 appear to have been written during the period 1829-31, when the writer was at Llandrillo, while Cwrtmawr MS 987 was written some time later. There are notes with many of the sermons which indicate that they were later preached a number of times during the period 1837-1868.

A bundle of Welsh and English sermons by various authors, [19 cent.].

A volume inscribed 'Evan Rowlands's Book July 9 1827' containing holograph sermons, 1827-30, in Welsh and English by the Reverend Evan Rowlands (1792-1861), minister of Capel Helyg and Rhos-lan Independent churches, Caernarfonshire, 1824-29, and of Ebenezer Independent Church, Pontnewynydd, near Pontypool, Monmouthshire, 1829-61. One of the sermons is dated 'at Braech [sic] y saint', another 'Tabor', and two 'Loyds Chapel'. Loose inside are a letter in Welsh, 1855, from E. Rowlands, Ebenezer to John Davies, (?) Cantwr, Silo, Abersychan (concerning the readiness of the Reverend Edward Williams, Dinas Mowddy [sic] to preach at Silo) and a sermon in English in the autograph of the Reverend Ebenezer Jones, Ebenezer, Pontypool, presented to [? John Myrddin Thomas] by Mrs Susanah Morgan, Newport, Monmouthshire, daughter of the Reverend Ebenezer Jones. [The Reverend Ebenezer Jones was the predecessor of the Reverend Evan Rowlands at Ebenezer.].

Two volumes of manuscript sermons in English, some preached between 1769 and 1805 at Worcester and the vicinity, Leeds, Hutton, Counde, etc., and a few others of later date, including a charge to churchwardens, 1822, delivered again at Salop and Newport, 1825, and another charge (to clergy) delivered at Salop and Newport, 1823. One of the earlier sermons was preached on one occasion at Hartlebury Chapel, May 26 1771, 'on occasion of taking Priests Orders', and another was preached at Hutton, June 22 1788, 'on Occasion of reading in as Rector', and again at Counde, Feb. 8 1789, on the same occasion [i.e. reading in as rector]. The evidence suggests that these earlier sermons are the work of the Reverend Thomas Goodinge, D.C.L. (1746-1816) [see Shropshire Parish Registers, Diocese of Lichfield, Vol. II, Cound, p. iv, and J. A. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses, Part II, 1752-1900, Vol. III p. 84]. The later addresses or sermons are probably the work of Archdeacon Hugh Owen (see Cwrtmawr MS 425B). The volumes are numbered 1-2 on the spine.

A volume of manuscript sermons in English, numbered '23' on the spine. The sermons are numbered 293-302 inclusive and are probably the work of Hugh Owen (1761-1827), archdeacon of Salop in the diocese of Lichfield, 1821-7. One or two of the sermons appear to have been used by another at Wellington and Preston, 1837-40. A line-engraving of Henry Owen, D.D., from The European Magazine, Vol. 28, facing p. 291, appears to be unrelated.
