Thirty-nine sermons or discourses, by the Rev. John Johnson of Cranbrook (d. 1725), the Nonjuror: twenty-one are on portions of the Psalms, and those which are dated range from 1715 to 1725.
The author's name only occurs in a 19th century pencil note on fol. 19b of MS. Add. A. 133, 'Mr. Johnson author of Un bloody Sacrifice,' but the writing establishes the authorship.
