A volume containing sermons and miscellaneous religious memoranda written in a small regular secretary hand of the early seventeenth century (ff. 1 verso-37, 53-59, 128-143, 144 verso-148), with additional sermons and memoranda written in shorthand, probably in a system personal to the scribe (ff. 1, 5 recto-verso, 37 verso-52, 60 verso-121, 143; '1625' occurs on ff. 72 verso, 78, 82 verso, 89, 100 and 120 verso, and may be part of a date).
The texts and preachers of the sermons written in secretary are: Genesis xlix.3-4 by 'Mr Maine Petri' (ff. 2-5); Esay l.4 by 'Mr [William] Perkins' (ff. 6-32), together with other sermons on the same text (ff. 33-35, 36-37 verso, 53-59 verso); Luke ii.16 by 'Mr Crowder of St Johns' (ff. 129 verso-131 verso, inverted text); Psalm cxix.1 by 'Mr [George] Estye of Cayes' (ff. 132-139 verso, inverted text); Job xiv.14 by 'Mr Burne' (ff. 140 verso-142 verso, inverted text); and 2 Timothy iii.15 by 'Mr Newton of St Johns' (ff. 144 verso-147 verso, inverted text). Most, if not all, of the preachers seem to have belonged to Cambridge colleges; those that can be identified with any certainty are the puritan divine William Perkins (1558-1602) of Christ College and the divine George Estye (1566-1601) of Caius College. The memoranda include 'Mr Chattertons argum[en]t' relating to the casting of lots and playing cards and dice, probably a reference to the puritan divine Laurence Chaderton (?1536-1640), master of Emanuel College (inside front cover); the views of 'Mr Fisher of Caius' on the qualities of a minister of the gospel (f. 148); and notes on witchcraft and the identification of witches (f. 1 verso, continued f. 128 verso, inverted text), on various sins and virtues (ff. 128-132), and on conscience (f. 143).
