A volume of devotional and theological notes, early 18th century
Written in a very large and distinct hand, probably by a young scholar.
- (fol. 1) i. Morning and evening prayers.
- (fol. 10) ii. De Coena Dominica.
- (fol. 14) iii. Excerpta brevia, partim ex Cicerone, de rebus divinis, modo quaestionis et responsi disposita.
- (fol. 26) iv. De Providentia divina.
- (fol. 32) v. Prayers in confession of sin and for pardon.
- (fol. 39) vi. Notae variae theologicae.
- (fol. 49) vii. De sacramentis.
On the last leaf (fol. 80) is written, by another and an unskilful hand, part of a dedication of a book on logic and morals to the Earl of Dorset and Middlesex, Lord Chamberlain, who had received favourably "my other small books". It is probable that this may be the dedication of a book by Peter Berault (a convert from the Church of Rome) on the same subjects published at London in French and English in 1690.
