Handwriting is small, but clear and legible. Very small sheets folded and sewn together into a booklet are in good condition, with minimal staining and wear. Brown ink varies in intensity over the course of the manuscript. At the top of one recto, an editor, likely 19th-century, has added the note " '766 Ser. at Mr. Olding's." This note has not been transcribed. The top of the last page is uncut, and so there are no images for five verso and six recto. On six verso, there is a recipe, likely for an herbal remedy, in Occom's hand.

Therefore if any man be in XJ Christ Jesus he is a new Creature: &c etc.

Regeneration is a doctrine much Di&slong;pi&slong;d despised by many, but it is a Doctrine of the Bible, and therefore it is a Sup&slong;tantial substantial Doctrine, it is a Spiritual Doctrine, and it is not to be under&slong;tood understood but by Spiritual under&slong;tanding understanding — I believ'd believed it is gene­rally own'd owned by tho&slong;e those , who belive believe

the Bible to be the word of god. that we mu&slong;t must be godd good Some how somehow before we are fit to go to Heaven, and this is good Rea&slong;oning reasoning , for if we believe Heaven to be a good Place we mu&slong;t must be good, if it be a Holy place, we mu&slong;t must be Holy, if it be a pure Place, we mu&slong;t must be pure, if it be Spiritual, we mu&slong;t must Spiritual, or el&slong;e else we can't Enjoy Heaven, Yea if god be Holy, we mu&slong;t must be holy in order to &slong;erve serve him here and in the world to Come, or in other words, to En­joy him in this world and in the World to Come — we are ready to Conclude, that

a poor Begger, in his filthy, Ragged Garments, is not fit to go into the Kings Palace and to Serve him there, and we Shou'd should not like a Swine, in his filth to Dwell in our Hou&slong;es houses ; so an unholy Man is no more fit to Enter into Heaven, the Habitation of God, — And therefore we mu&slong;t must be holy, and god has found out a way for us to become holy,. and it is by being in Chri&slong;t Christ — Now if any man be in Chri&slong;t Christ he is a New Creature, old othings are pa&slong;sed passed a way away ,

and behold all things are become new — — In further Speaking upon the&slong;e these words I Shall Endeavour to Show by the Help of God —

What it is to be in Chri&slong;t Christ — Such are new Creatures to Such all old thing are done away and all thing are become a new — Then what it is to be in Chri&slong;t Christ — to be in X Christ is to be united to him by a living Faith, in other words, to believe and receive JX Jesus Christ as he is offer'd offered in the Go&slong;pel Gospel to be the only Sutable suitable Savi­our, to rely upon him for what he has done to be in XJ Christ Jesus , is to have the Image of JX Jesus Christ rein&slong;tampt restamped in us and to have his Spirit in us, Yea to be in Chir&slong;t Christ is to have Chri&slong;t Christ Dwelling in us, and we in him — They yt that are in Chri&slong;t Christ Je&slong;us Jesus are new Creatures they are Created a new anew in Chri&slong;t Christ Je&slong;us Jesus , they dont donly have Names but have new Di&slong;po&slong;i&slong;tions dispositions — Blank page.
