[note (type: abstract): Occom's sermon on the text "Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new".][note (type: handwriting): Handwriting is small, but clear and legible.][note (type: paper): Very small sheets folded and sewn together into a booklet are in good condition, with minimal staining and wear.][note (type: ink): Brown ink varies in intensity over the course of the manuscript.][note (type: noteworthy): 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.]EventsFundraising Tour of Great Britain
