DescriptionThis is not a sermon in the traditional early modern sense (i.e. it is not an analysis of a specific Biblical text). The 'sermon' is written as if from Christ’s point of view, in the first person to another person. For example, the first leaf reads: ‘If thou hast sine my Deare Chilld in this my last super with my Ap:osles the greatest signe of loue that father euer she:wed vnto his children or maister vnto his saruant.’ A new section heading entitled ‘The fruit of the first Sermon. with the pious affec:tion of the Saruant’ begins on the recto of the seventh leaf. This section is the instructional part of the text. Written in a neat hand. With catchwords at the bottom of some leaves. Some use of Latin, e.g. on the fourth and seventh leaf (versos).
