DescriptionThis is an unfinished transcription of a sermon. The original scribe has left large spaces on several pages, perhaps with the intention to complete these parts of the sermon at a later date. The scribe breaks off completely at the top of p. 147; the rest is John Warr’s hand. It is not known whether this is John Warr senior or junior, both of whom were used as scribes by Robert Boyle.

Other NoteWritten in a large, clear hand; a mix of late secretary and round hand features. This sermon is unlikely to be autograph. According to Michael Hunter, ‘It is clear that Boyle used Warr extensively in his later years, both for general clerical work and for correspondence. Warr’s hand recurs frequently in the Boyle Papers […] Warr’s hand varies in form from quite a neat italic to a rough running hand, probably written at speed to dictation’. See Michael Hunter, ed., Letters and Papers of Robert Boyle: A Guide to the Manuscripts and Microfilm (Bethseda, MD: University Publications of America, 1992), p. xxxii.
