Contents: fol. i recto, ownership inscription of J. Wickins Trin: Coll Cant (possibly not in the hand of John Wickins), pasted to this leaf is a nineteenth-century note on letter paper (written after 1855, since it refers to Brewster's Memoirs of... Sir Isaac Newton, citing earlier sources, including the account by James Wickins in The Gentleman's Magazine (1802), p. 316, of a flagon and other items from Newton's chambers in Trinity); fol. ii recto, a further note in a nineteenth-century hand [that of Edmund Hope Verney] based on Brewster's account of what is now King's College, MS Keynes 137: a letter to Robert Smith from Nicholas Wickins (from Stoke Edith, 16 January 1728), giving an account of some of the contents of 'a small book... among my Father's papers', here identified as this volume; fol. ii verso, a further note in an eighteenth-century hand (not that of either John or Nicholas Wickins), identifying the text on the following pages as being a common-place (i.e. a sermon-like exercise, preached in the College chapel) by Isaac Newton; fols 1-48, [Common-place on Romans 14.23, 2 parts, fols 1-15 and 16-45, with accompanying notes, fols 45-48, incomplete at end]; written in a single hand, identical with that of CUL MS Add. 3970, fols 460-6, 549-67 (known to be the hand of John Wickins); fols 49-52 recto, blank; fol. 52 verso, Latin topics for Newton's Divinity Act (8 February 1677) and a prayer, presumably to be said then. Written in the same hand as fols 1-48; fols 53-97, Latin response to the first of the topics at Newton's Divinity Act ('The morality of human actions does not preclude God's certain foreknowledge that they will come to pass.'). Written in the same hand as fols 1-48, 52v. A largely fair copy but with some deletions; fols 98-137, blank; fols 138-145, copies of three letters from Newton to John Wickins (his chamber-fellow at Trinity), when the latter was at Monmouth. The first undated, but 1678; the second dated 19 July 1677; the third dated 19 August 1682. Both the second and the third accompanied by theological book lists (fols 140v and 145r). The letters but not the lists published by W.R. Wilson in The Athenaeum, 2751 (17 July 1880), 81-2 . Written in the same hand as fols 1-48, 52v-137r; fols 145-184: blank.
