3 TNA, E 163/22/4/1. The notebook is very disorderly so it is sometimes difficult to distinguish where one sermon ends and another begins. The notes for two of the sermons explicitly mention the venue, and since the others were delivered by different preachers on consecutive Sundays, it is practically certain that all were delivered at Paul's Cross.
