Description

  • Summary: Matthew Parker's manuscript collection naturally reflects his interest in Reformation theology and theologians and the religious debates which took place in the sixteenth century. MS 104 is one of the compilations of tracts Parker assembled from his collection. Among the tracts included in this volume are gospel commentaries, an English translation of St Matthew's gospel and several sermons on various topics including fortitude in suffering and the qualities of a king. The manuscript dates to the third quarter of the sixteenth century.
