Description: Published in 1873 by Novello, edited by Rev. Sir Frederick A. Gore Ouseley, with the identifying note: "OF WHICH THE SCORES ARE NOT CONTAINED IN DR. BOYCE'S COLLECTION" and only existed prior in manuscript and part books. The volume does contain two pieces now attributed to Henry Loosemore. The style does appear to be that of Gibbons. The anthem is also appended as secunda pars to "Deliver us, O Lord".
