Title
A discourse on sin by the priest of Putney (Hardwick MS 67)
Date

Description

This handwritten booklet on the subject of sin by the priest of Putney is based on the Bible book of James chapter 3 verse 2: "In many things we sin all". It is dedicated to the Noble Right Sir William Cavendish. The priest writes a two page dedication to the Earl in this presentation copy. It is not clear to which Earl this book was dedicated. However, the vellum cover is similar to that of HMS/4/2 and HMS/4/4. The hand could be that of the priest of Putney or a scribe.
