Contents NoteThe volume opens with a meditation (six leaves, unfoliated and unpaginated). It begins as follows: 'The Sting of Death is Sin, And the strength of Sin is the Law. But thanks Be to God, Which giueth vs Victory through Our Lord Jesus Christ.' This meditation turns into verse, and ends as follows: 'Perpetuall Alaluias Must thou Sing / Unto thy God, thy Sauiour, and thy King.' The two sermons or treatises are entitled 'A Brief, But A true and Perfect Discouery of the Sinfull Estate, &c.' and 'A true Discouery of the Vanity of the Creature, &c.' They are most likely treatises which had former lives as sermons.
Material FeaturesOctavo. 'Sermons' has been written in pencil, in a nineteenth-century hand, on the third flyleaf (verso). The St. Paul's Cathedral Library bookplate can be found on the inside front cover.
