Note 1. CVI. W. P.—The fragment annexed to these initials is derived from scraps (preserved in some volumes of ballads in the British Museum) of a work entitled “Medivs: Psalmes in fourer parts which may be song to all musicall instrumentes, set forth for the encrease of vertue and abolishying of other vayne and triflying ballads. Imprinted at London by John Day, 1563.” The other two or three fragments preserved are from the Old Version of Psalms, except a prayer in prose. The whole is set to music. [back]
