Scope and Content

A copy in a uniform hand of 48 sermons, many of which conclude with hymns, preached between 1672 and 1689. They include sermons preached at the house of John Simons of Bandon, Co. Cork, in 1675-6 (pp. 609, 634, 701), by Thomas Bayly at Cork in 1675 (p. 844), and by 'Mr. Weeks of and in Bristoll' in 1679 (p. 834). The sermons have been attributed to John Kettlewell (1653-95), the Nonjuring divine, but he was not ordained deacon until 1677 and the manuscript is not in his hand.
