RepositoryLambeth Palace Library
Contents NoteFair copies of notes (apparently taken by an auditor) on 25 of Brierley's sermons. They were copied by a contemporary, probably his disciple Josiah Collier. The sermons are preceded by a note to the reader (pp. 1-4) and followed by other materials intended to rehabilitate Brierley's reputation, including verses written by Collier (pp. 252-263, 311-314), a letter by Brierley to Anne Pethye on spiritual matters (pp. 225-228), and verses about Brierley by Willam Aylin (pp. 229-249). The initials J.C. (presumably Collier) are written on the introduction. The volume also includes a sermon by Collier on John 15:1 (pp. 287-309).
Material Featuresviii + 317 pages. Unfoliated; the original pagination has been used here. Table of contents on p. v. The sermons are preceded by a note on p. 4: "Here followeth certaine shorte notes or heads of some seuerall sermons publikely preached more fully by Roger Breirley sometime minister at Grindleton Chappell in Craven." No preaching locations are given with the sermons, so it is assumed they were preached at Grindleton.
