 a sermon or theological discourse on the Lord's Supper. At 

 the end is this note: " I, John, son of the Earl of Desmond, 

 wrote this at Carrig o Gonnell (a Cappaij o Coinnell) in order 

 to assist my companion, and faithful tutor, Mailechloin Mac 

 Illion." This was probably John, son of Thomas, Earl of 

 Desmond, who died 1536. 



9. A Tract entitled, " History of the Monks of Egypt."
