GEMMS: Gateway to Early Modern Manuscript Sermons
GEMMS IDGEMMS-MANUSCRIPT-000191
TitleP.P.’s Common-place Book
ShelfmarkMS 12.10
Creation Dateca. 1614 - 1712
Contents NoteVolume first used as a commonplace book of classical texts with two early seventeenth-century hands: f. 2. contains the draft of a letter signed ‘PP’ answering a warrant under the hands of the Earl of Warwick and others, directing ‘PP’ to set the seal of the Admiralty to a commission ‘in the cause of Mr Smith’. Subsequently used for notes on sermons and Congregational Church matters by a later hand. The DWL catalogue mentions some important specific items in the manuscript but does not specify the many sermon outlines and complete drafts contained in the manuscript. It is possible that the sermons copied into this book are transcriptions of other manuscripts and printed books, but it is difficult to determine the nature of the sources for these sermons.
Material FeaturesThe hands in this manuscript are clear and easy to decipher. Brief comments are interspersed with sermons and sermon notes, but it is easy to distinguish sermon content from other notes.

Other NoteThe rough composition date of this manuscript's contents is based on datable sermons between 1614-1712, but it is impossible to be more precise. For more information about the sermon preached by William Goodwin (1614), see Sermons at Paul's Cross, 1521-1642, ed. by Torrance Kirby and others (Oxford, 2017), pp. 433-453.
