2. REEVE A rather poor copy of this short life of Fr Baker, perhaps made by Dame Gertrude Pulton ( d. 1720) of the convent of Dunkirk, whose signature is on the inside of the front cover. The second leaf is much damaged and other leaves have been removed, but the text is continuous. The contents of the volume are as follows:-Page i, blank; p. ii , Deus Propicious esto mihi pecatoris (sic) ; pp. 1-14 , miscellaneous devotional extracts ; pp . 14-83, Reeve . This transcript of Reeve agrees substantially with B. 4, but has many errors of commission and omission. In particular it has only the first of the two supplements, and only part of that one (viz., paragraphs 1 , 2, 3 , 7 and 8) . On paper, in old brown leather ; pp . ii + 86 of 3x5 ins.
