[Commonplace book of theological notes], [late 17th century].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177567

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a collection of notes on moral, philosophical, and theological subjects, arranged under over a hundred topical headings such as disputes, drunkenness, envy and malice, God, humility, idleness, preachers and preaching, sacrament, silence, and time.

Occasionally, they also refer to other notes; for example, under Speech, the author writes, "See also the notes I have taken out of the Art of Speaking."
