Manuscrit containing parts of several of Bishop Burnet's works:

(fol. 1). Parts of Bishop Burnet's Abridgement of his History of the Reformation, the author's autograph, as in the Oxford ed. of 1808, pp. 48-160.
(fols. 57, 69). Part of Burnet's Pastoral Care, the author's autograph, as in the 1692 ed., pp. 215 - 243.
(fols. 63, 70). A few leaves of his History of the Reformation, including the Addenda to the first volume in the folio editions, the author's autograph.
(fol. 73). A considerable part of his History of the Reformation copied out for the press in about 1678 by a Mr. Angus and corrected by the author, containing nearly all that is in pp. 1 - 555 of vol. i of the Oxford edition.
(fol. 318). The first part of the Abridgement, as art. 1 above, copied out for the press and corrected by the author, extending as far as p. 34 of the Oxford edition, with one break.

At the end are a short extract from Burnet's Reformation and a note, both in Antony Wood's hand (fol. 336): and also (fol. 337) some extracts from, and abridgements of, Burnet's History of my own Time, which are properly part of Dr. Martin Lister's collection (see p. 93 above).
