In English.
Ownership note
'Jno Phillipson 1730' has also inscribed his name at the end of No. 29, and has written it on fol. 55v together with that of Elizabeth Green.
Notes
This last item is written by a different and later hand. At the end of the text is a note: 'Transcribed out of a coppy of George Birketts of Crooke in December Anno Domini 1689. Per me Georgium Dixon.' This work has not been traced, and it apparently has not been printed. The author was very probably the father of Dr. Richard Gilpin [1625-1700], divine, and M.D. of Leyden in 1676 [see the Dictionary of National Biography].
