A volume of prayers and devotions, written in 1708, arranged in two parts with indexes to each part on ff. 1-2 and f. 37 respectively.
The first part, which lacks a title page owing to the excision of a leaf between ff. i and 1, relates to religious duties and comprises an analysis of each topic with a table of Biblical texts and proofs on facing pages (ff. 1-35); the second part comprises a series of devotions and prayers entitled 'Devotions for Morning and Evening together with severall other prayers upon particular Occasions' (ff. 36-71 verso).
