Contents NoteAutograph copies of several sermons, given in Cambridge in 1635-1638. Notes at various points in the sermons suggest that Power had a series of different notebooks in which he made fair copies of sermons, as he points the reader or himself to other volumes for "best" or "better" versions of the sermons, such as the "vellum book with red strings". ff. 58r-63r are blank, as are several pages at the end of the volume.
Material FeaturesVolume bound in cream vellum with gold embossing and the remnants of blue strings to tie it shut. The sermons are written in a generally clear hand, with corrections and alterations. End papers are wastepaper scrap in a different secretary hand. On ff. 1 and 4 is written "Ex Dono Gulielm Power. [Christ]s Coll." On f. 5r, 1 Timothy 4:16 has been written out in full.
