In this part the parchment is brittle and discolored. Written in a poor-quality English cursive. 2-line initials in red ink introduce both sermons on ff. 171r and 178r. Marginal notations in red and black ink.
Text is crowded on page and often disregards bounding lines.
Written in a poorly executed English book hand in badly faded ink on parchment that is yellowed and in poor condition making text difficult to read. Faye and Bond, p. 435, n. 18.
