Verse anthems by Aldrich, Batten, Blow, Bowman, Clarke, Creighton, Croft, Fuller, Gibbons, Goldwin, Grano, Greene, Hall, Hawkins, Humfrey, J. Jackson, Norris, Purcell, Quarles, Tucker, Tudway, Weldon, Williams, and Wise, with five anthems by unidentified composers.

Closely related to the Tenor decani partbook and Tenor cantoris partbook which make up Add. MS a. 665/2 and 3. Three anthems do not appear in those partbooks.

An original index is pasted on the inside front cover. p. 137 contains an insertion passage of three bars from Psalm 150, not relatable to any piece in the manuscript. P. 144 contains three anonymous double chants in pencil, added later. P. 155 is headed 'Deliver my soul O Lord by Mr Hawkins Ely' but no music has been copied. The manuscript was likely copied before 1730.

Verse anthems by Aldrich, Batten, Blow, Creighton, Croft, Fuller, Gibbons, Goldwin, Grano, Greene, Hall, Hawkins, Humfrey, Jackson, Norris, Purcell, Quarles, Tucker, Tudway, Weldon, Williams, and Wise.

Closely related to the Tenor decani partbook and Bass cantoris partbook which make up Add. MS a. 665/2 and 4; the contents of Add. MS a. 665/2 are identical apart from five anthems; 'I will arise and go to my father' (Wise), ''Sing unto the Lord' (Bowman), and 'I will love thee O Lord' (Clarke) are absent from Add. MS a. 665/3; a later hand has crossed out p. 25 in red. There are three original ink indexes: the inside front cover has a near-complete index of Add. MS a. 665/2 (placed here in error). Three principal copyists, not all professional hands, were at work. The names Fuller and Keymer, lay clerks, appear at the top of p. 51 and f. iiir respectively. The top of p. 51 has the signature 'R Fuller,' possibly an autograph.
