Notes on sermons, 1647-June 1648. Most appear to have been delivered at Oxford by adherents of the Puritans, particularly the Presbyterians; among those preaching were Henry Cornish, Henry Wilkinson (either the canon of Christ Church or the principal of Magdalen Hall), William Lyford, Robert Harris, Henry Langley, Anthony Clifford, and Francis Cheynell. Several were Parliamentary visitors.

One of several volumes, originally 17 in number, known as "Ward's Diary." 16 of these volumes are now Folger MS V.a.284-299.
