Sermons preached by John Gray in 1694-1695, some of which were preached again in 1704 and 1708., 1694-1695.
The volumes have been arranged chronologically as far as possible, but many of the volumes are composite, consisting of unrelated gatherings of leaves (including some blank) bound together, containing sermons preached in different years (a large number are undated: some were preached more than once, at intervals of several years). It is not known whether some of these volumes were bound after John Gray's death.
