Contents NoteEight sermons preached during the war with France, along with medical and domestic recipes and notes. The sermons are found on ff.1-113, and include two for victory in the war against France (ff.2-13, 99-113) and two for funerals. The sermons reference King William and Queen Mary (ff.12v, 113r), recent defeats suffered at the hands of the French (ff.4, 111-113), and fear of the loss of liberty and religion allayed by a deliverer raised up by God (f.3v), likely referring to the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
