For those wishing to know: I'd stumbled on a reference to the "recent 
Bible burnings" whilst transcribing a Kensington book, so had a look for 
anything contemporary to give a bit more background.  This is a short 
sermon preached in Dublin where two religious groups were in conflict, one 
was so provoked as to burn a Bible, only a page of which was rescued from 
the fire (hence the title).  It's mainly the Protestant group saying how 
terrible the Catholic group were, but it contains a first hand account of 
it.

All the best,
David,
Overcast but bright England
