Manuscript on paper, in a single formal book hand, of a religious text which denouces the worldiness and sins of "the present generation," including drunkenness, pride of apparel, swearing, and lying, and urges sinners to repent and believe in Christ and "the manifestation of the Spirit that is given to every man." The text, which opens with a formal title page and preface, includes several poems of varying lengths, and concludes with a long poem, "Zion is a very beautifull city / And are comely to behold...." The colophon reads "Thornbury the 12th day of the tenth Month Anno Dom. 1698. By Iohn Barley."
