Summary
Along with a number of theological treatises, some of which are incomplete, this composite manuscript contains forty-five sermons which form a mixed collection. They begin with a brief prologue which contains a personal name associated with the college of canons at Chichester. Unfortunately, a hole in the page renders the name questionable, and the evidently garbled grammar of the sentence leaves it unclear whether the person named is the writer or the dedicatee of the sermons. But the next sentences are clear about his intention:
I have learned from your paternal report that you desire something delightful that may stimulate your mind to contemplate heavenly things, through which also your bodily mind – which, according to Holy Scripture, is commonly inclined to evil – may be called back from illicit things. As I wish to please Your Paternity's pious desire humbly and with complete devotion of my mind, I have tried to write up some deeds of the Romans together with words from Seneca, fittingly put into holy discourse as the occasion demanded it. With the insistence of a young son I pray that you may accept, in your fatherly good will, such a small gift of modest value, as coming from a poor beggar.
The program announced is carried out in sermons 1–27, which thus form a unified collection (ff. 1–27v).
