Anthems by Aldrich, Blake, Blow, Bowman, Boyce, Byrd, Child, Clarke, Croft, Gates, Gibbons, Goldwin, Greene, Handel, Hawkins, Humfrey, Kent, King, Marcello, Mason, Mundy, Nares, Purcell, Richardson, Stroud, Tallis, Tudway, Turner, Tye, Webbe, Weldon, Wise, and Woodward.

Part of the same set as the bass cantoris partbook (item 7), and the contents are related to the treble partbook (item 5). This is a very substantial collection of repertoire dating from c.1680-1780; the appearance of c16th works like Mundy O Lord the maker of all things, Tallis I call and cry, Tye I will exalt thee, Byrd Bow thine ear and Child O Lord grant the King a long life indicates that Boyce (1768) was a source; there are 20 anthems by Croft, mostly from the 1724/5 collection, and much from Page's Harmonia sacra (1800). The manuscript was possibly begun as early as the 1730s, but most of it has been copied later, and was still in use in the 19th century: p.278 contains a pencil note 'This is sung Dec 16 1814' [occasion not identified]. The James Kent works may be autograph.

Numerous copyists, of which some professional hands, were involved. The original ink index is now pasted inside the front cover and bound in at ii and iii.
