Contents NoteA volume containing miscellaneous religious material including sermons, aphorisms, and letters, one of which was written by John Green and dated 22 September 1646 (ff. 39v-44r [Part I]). Most of the volume consists of undifferentiated notes on religious subjects from an unknown source and for an unknown purpose. The sermon notes entered for this volume are from the few sections with a clear header indicating the Bible text. The volume includes quotations from Michel de Montaigne (ff. 15r-21v? [Part I]) and medical recipes (ff. 58v-59v [Part I]).
