The first 12 chapters are mainly autobiographical. There are two later insertions however, the preface and the section between folios 49 and 53 verso, which deals with later events in his life dating from 1751 to 1763. Chapter 13 is divided into 16 sections taking the form of moralising essays on various aspects of Christian behaviour. The work is apparently unpublished.
