Scope and Content

A volume, [17 cent., third ¼], containing manuscript copies, in an unknown hand, of at least fifty-five sermons of the Rev. Joseph Caryl, preached April 1650-May 1653, all on the Epistle to the Romans 8:9-28.
Parts of the text are accompanied by copious marginal annotations (pp. 1-125, 188-192, 213-216, 241-250, 273-278, 339-351, 372-373, 700-707, 716-727), the remainder is only very sporadically annotated. Marginal notes by the transcriber and gaps left by him (pp. 193-200, 216a-h, 446-448, 549-556, 585-588, 600-604, 629-636, 661-668, 708-712, 784-788, 861-864 and 905 onward) attest to at least twelve missing sermons. Also included are proof sheets (2 copies), [19 cent.], apparently for p. 27 of an edition of the text, corresponding almost exactly to p. 27 of the manuscript; no edition is known to have been published (tipped in on pp. 909, 911).
