Fair copy of an early draft, 1662-5, of 'A paraphrase upon the psalms of David', revised before and after April 1671, when readings of the first printed edition (London, 1667) were written in. Psalm 99 'part' I2 to the end, is lacking.

The text of the second edition (London, 1678) is the result of revision which does not appear in this manuscript. Personal notes are on pp. v, 203a, 339, 598.
