English Manuscript. Sermons by John Weekes and Joseph Kontisch. 1693.

[Bristol?]: 1693. . Soft cover. Very Good. Folio. No pagination. In black ink. On paper. Disbound. With ownership inscription of Peter Mugleworth, Jun., and dated October 6, 1693. David Bush, burgess, died 24 April 1609, St. Mary-le-Port Parish, Bristol, Gloucester; married 19 October 1567, Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucester, to Joan Lathbury (died 23 February 1611, St. Mary-le-Port Parish, Bristol. One of their children was George Bush, christened 15 July 1580; his wife's name is unknown. They had one child: Alice Bush, christened 22 January 1611. Alice Bush, born say 1588, married Peter Muggleworth Sr. on 1 May 1608. He died in 1656 in Bristol. Bristol Staple Court records indicate that Peter Muggleworth was a butcher. His name also appears as the St. Mary-le-Port churchwarden as of 1649. In 1651 Peter Muggleworth was among nearly 400 freemen of Bristol who protested Ralph Farmer and John Knight's attempts to consolidate and assess the city's parishes on behalf of the Presbyterian clergy - a pound rate on all houses and premises. One of their children was Peter Muggleworth Jr., christened 3 July 1611. He married Grace Barwick on 4 February 1638. On 22 August 1656 he was granted administration of the estate of his father, Peter Muggleworth Sr. One of his children was Peter Muggleworth III, whose christening was outside of St. Mary-le-Port Parish. He was almost certainly the son of Peter and Grace, as he was referred to as Peter Muggleworth Jr. He married Hannah Gibbes in Bristol on 21 February 1671. She was a daughter of Henry Gibbes, Sheriff of Bristol, and Jane Meredith. Peter, a soap maker, made his last will and testament in Bristol on 12 June 1702, leaving bequests to his wife (not named), sons Henry and Peter, sister Alice Hind, and his wife's relatives. He lived in the same parish (Christ Church) as his Pyland relatives, but his will requested burial beside his father in the St. Mary-le-Port churchyard. One of the last two Peter Mugleworths is the likely owner of this manuscript, which puts the origin of this document in or near Bristol (taken from on-line entry). From FreeReg.org: a John Weekes, from Thornbury, Gloucestershire, married an Eleanor Thurston on 4 July 1681. Thornbury is 14.5 miles away from Bristol.
