Inscription on the inserted blank leaf before the title page "Richard Lodge 30th March 1633 / In Hambrough [i.e. Hamburg, Germany]". Manuscript signature "ex libris Rad Thoresby pr 16d" [i.e. Ralph Thoresby, R.R.S. (1658-1725)] at the foot of leaf A3. Manuscript signature "Robt Langley" inside the rear cover. Extensively annotated (both in the text and on thirteen inserted blank pages at the front and seven at the back, plus the last blank page of Ane Fruitfull Meditatioun and the inside of the back cover) in two or three neat early 17th century hands with apocalyptic notes and calculations in Latin and English, plus two notes in German.

The writers had access to a good range of published apocalpytic writings in Latin and English from the late 16th century and the first decade of the 17th, and show a deep study of the subject of the Second Coming of Christ, and the Last Judgement.
