The sermons begin on folio 1, the papers of John Spottiswoode on folio 87. There is also a paper relating to the Episcopal Church in Scotland, in the same hand as MS.2933, folio 125 (folio 187).
John Spottiswoode's papers consist largely of a variety of proposals - for his own studies, for an infirmary in Edinburgh, for a Scottish historical society, for a trade society with a professorship of trade, and for publications on law and other subjects.
