Provenance
AcquisitionThe Hunter Manuscripts were purchased by the Dean and Chapter of Durham in 1756 for forty guineas.
Source of DataThomas Rud, Codicum Manuscriptorum Ecclesiae Cathedralis Dunelmensis Catalogus Classicus (Durham, 1825), p. 417; Hannah Yip.
Other NoteThe tenth item is described by Thomas Rud as a sermon (see Rud, p. 417). However, this item appears to be constructed more as a theological argument as opposed to a sermon. The GEMMS database records instead the eleventh item in Hunter MS 140. Although it is called a 'meditation', it appears to address a congregation and is structured, like a sermon, around a single text.
Sermons ContainedA meditation upon the 24. v. of the 17. ch. of the Gospel according to John -- 24 leaves, unfoliated and unpaginated
