The extracts concern John Corbet, minister of Bonhill (folio 3), and the transcript is of David Laing`s copy, which had been discovered shortly before and was the only one known to Dennistoun, of Sir William Moore`s pseudonymously published ‘A counter-buff to Lysimachus Nicanor’, by Philopatris ([Edinburgh], 1640) (folio 11). Bound in between folios 8 and 9 are printed copies of Corbet`s ‘The ungirding of the Scottish Armour’ (Dublin, 1639) and his ‘The epistle congratulatorie of Lysimachus Nicanor to the Convenanters in Scotland’ (1640).
