Other NoteWritten in a rather hasty hand, self-described as 'very ragged' (cf. dedicatory epistle). Judging by the dedicatory epistle, this sermon may have been preached at Standon. The pages have red rulings. There are summaries, 'uses', and Biblical citations in the margins. P. 24 preceding the sermon has been left blank. Arnold Hunt has conjectured that this sermon was preached at a private fast on the anniversary of the King's execution. See Arnold Hunt, 'The Books, Manuscripts and Literary Patronage of Mrs Anne Sadleir (1585-1670)' in Victoria E. Burke and Jonathan Gibson, eds., Early Modern Women's Manuscript Writing: Selected Papers from the Trinity/Trent Colloquium (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004), pp. 205-236 (pp. 212-213 and 217-219).
