A note in an eighteenth-century hand (folio 1) suggests this is a manuscript copy of David Calderwood, ‘The true history of the Church of Scotland’, 1678; but, although there are striking textual similarities at various places, the text is by no means the same, and begins and ends at later dates. As many of the documents quoted in full by Calderwood are omitted, this may be an abridgement and continuation of Calderwood's work.
