Manuscript, in a single hand, of a 35-page summary, via numbered sentences, of Christ's life, beginning with "[1] A Geneology from Abraham to Christ" and ending with "[520] & as [Jesus] is blessing them is parted from them & carryed up to heaven." The abstract is followed by 75 pages of short verses on primarily secular and satirical subjects, including "A Riddle on a Pound of Candles," "On Women," "On A Gallant," and "Upon Piggs devouring a bed of Pen Royall commonly call'd organs." The collection of verses also contains a rebus poem titled "A Double Cross" accompanied by the solution to the drawings.
