Material Features198 leaves. Written in two parts. Part I proceeds from front to back (ff 1r-128r) and Part II upside-down from back to the front (169r-198v). The handwriting is very clear in Part I, but much less clear in Part II. On f. i r-v, Philipps has written the title "A Sermon booke" under which are scribbles in various inks, including her name several times.
