Custodial History

According to Black this being very closely written in quarto it is therefore not one of the MSS given to Dr Williams's Library by Matthew Sylvester, in 1733; but is the quarto MS given ‘by the Revd. Mr. Henry Read, March 22. 1764’ As recorded in ‘The Book of Benefactors’ to Dr. Williams's Library.
