Copy at Liverpool Cathedral has an extra quire, [par.]¹², with order of baptism, etc., and this may more properly belong after 16592 (STC).
The manuscript consists of arrangements of the psalm tunes in four-part harmony, and on three of the music staves at the end of the tune of Psalm 150, there is written 'E. Millar, 2 Aprile 1626.' The initials 'E' and 'M' are in the form of a monogram. It is therefore almost certain that the manuscript is the work of Edward Millar, whose initials are appended to the address to the reader in the 1635 edition of the work (Cowan).
