Two manuscript volumes attributed to Reverend John Warly; included are biblical passages, sermon notes, and commentaries on spiritual matters and political subjects including the English Civil War. Entries are in secretary hand, primarily in English with a small amount of Greek. The volumes are signed by Lee Warly, a descendant of John Warly; both volumes are written in two directions with the text beginning at one cover then turned over and beginning again (tête-bêche style). The volumes have worn leather covers and fragile spines, HM 83773 is especially fragile with the spine mostly lacking and the pages loose; the volumes are housed in one box for preservation purposes.

Manuscripts
Correspondence and manuscripts regarding the controversy over Thomas Nowell's 1772 Charles I remembrance sermon before the House of Commons, bound together with the printed sermon. Letters to Nowell are from W. (presumably Walter) King and Dr. (presumably James) King, the sermon's printer Henry Hughs, Lord Lichfield, Thomas Fitzmaurice, the Rev. Richard Scrope, and others; letters are both in support of and in opposition to Nowell's sermon. In addition, there are two copies of Thomas Nowell letters to unidentified recipients. Also present in the volume are a manuscript vote of thanks for Nowell's sermon from the House of Commons with an order to print, January 31, 1772; and manuscript extracts from a letter of Edward Gibbon and from the Annual Register regarding the sermon. The front of the volume contains a manuscript table of contents and provenance note, the bulk of which was most likely written in the late 19th century with a note added after 1916 at the end.
