[note (type: abstract): Sermon on Ephesians 5:15 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.][note (type: handwriting): Clear and legible, although lettercase is occasionally difficult to discern.][note (type: paper): Several small sheets are folded together into a booklet. The paper is in fair condition, with some staining and heavy wear around the edges.][note (type: ink): Light brown][note (type: noteworthy): At top of one recto, “& Revelat.” is written in pencil and refers to the last page, which appears to be the beginning of a new sermon on a text from Revelation 16: 15 “Behold, I come”. The salutation “Revd Sir, I Conclude you have” along the left edge of six verso appears to be the beginning of a letter on a sheet that was repurposed for the sermon.]
