The Manuscripts referred to are the following:
Sloane's MSS. deposited in the British Museum.
Harleian MSS. deposited in Do.
Baker's MS. Collection, xxxviii. vols. folio.*
MS. Register.t
This invaluable collection was made by the indefatigable and celebrated Mr. Thomas Baker, the first twenty-three volumes of which are deposited in the British Museum. They constitute part of the Harleian collection, from No. 7028 to 7050. The remaining fifteen volumes are deposited in the university library, Cambridge.
+ This invaluable treasure, entitled, "The Second Part of a Register," was collected by Mr. Roger Morrice, who was ejected at the restoration, from Duffield in Derbyshire. Bishop Maddox, with great injustice, warmly censures this MS. as unworthy of credit: but Mr. Strype, who was intimate with the author, gives him a very high character. He styles him "a very careful inquirer into ancient records;" and, says he, "This gentleman was a very diligent collector of ecclesiastical MSS. relating to the latter history of the English church, whereof he left vast heaps behind him, and he favoured me with his correspondence."-Strype's Annals, vol. i. p. 241.Stow's Survey of London, b. iv. p. 57.—Maddox's Vindication, p. 190–192. -Palmer's Noncon. Mem. vol. i. p. 404.

Meen's MS. Collections.§
This collection, with the two foregoing, being five very large folio volumes, are deposited in Dr. Williams's library, Red-Cross-Street, London.
+ This collection, now deposited in the Old College library, Homerton, was made by Mr. John Kingdom, by mistake called John Ridge, and who was ejected after the restoration. There is a Supplement to this MS. by Mr. John Corbet, who was also one of the ejected ministers.-Palmer's Noncon. Mem. vol. ii. p. 259. ii. 318.
These three volumes were written by the late Mr. Joshua Thomas of Leominster, father to the present Mr. Timothy Thomas of Islington, who generously favoured the author with the use of them.
§ This collection was made by Mr. Joseph Meen of Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, who very kindly favoured the author with the use of it.
The numerical letters refer to the volume, the figures to the page, and
the lettern to the notes. The persons whose names are printed in
Italics are puritan divines; all the rest relate to persons and subjects
of a miscellaneous description.
