DescriptionThis sermon is written in a mixed secretary and italic hand. There are marginal annotations; citations include Calvin. In the sermon, the anonymous preacher states the following: 'Wherefore if it were as vsefull to giue title to this sermon, as it is vsuall w[i]th others now adays; I might well call it, Gods delight [...] for ye lost sleepers welcome home'. See the recto of the third leaf.
