Borrow has also written a manuscript index to the volume on the front blank leaves and made notes to a number of the sermons including additional biblical verses at the end and some underlining in the text. Rowland Borrow was rector of Browhame and Clifton and Chaplain to the Earl of Thanet. He was educated at Sedberg Grammar School and later St John’s, Cambridge.
