[note (type: abstract): Occom's partial notes for a sermon on the theme "What think ye of Christ?" are written in the same booklet as the text of a marriage ceremony.][note (type: handwriting): Handwriting is largely clear and legible. There are several deletions and additions. As is common with Occom, there are uncrossed t's, crossed l's, undotted i's, and dotted e's, which the transcriber has corrected.][note (type: paper): Several small sheets are folded into a booklet and are in good-to-fair condition, with moderate wear and staining. A hole in the top left corner of one recto runs through the next three pages resulting in a minor loss of text.][note (type: ink): Brown ink varies in intensity.][note (type: noteworthy): The sermon notes end abruptly and, after a blank page, Occom has written the text for a marriage ceremony. The sermon is undated; however, given the references to its audience, as well as language that is identical to that used in a later letter that refers to Occom's travels in England (manuscript 771424), it is likely that these are notes for a sermon that Occom delivered on his fundraising trip to Great Britain. In instances where Occom's intention regarding a word is uncertain, the word has been left unmodified in the modernized transcription. An editor, likely 19th-century, has made notes on one recto; these notes have not been transcribed.]EventsFundraising Tour of Great Britain
