date of fr updated to mid/late 16th century. The 'indecipherable' piece has been re-named 'Psalm 46' & treated as a unicum; an 'item note' added (as there is not a suitable place on 'composition') to record "This is a setting of Psalm 46, the text as given in John Day's Whole Booke of Psalmes (1562). The musical notation does not correspond with the tune given in WBP."
