There is agreement with the Treble Cantoris volume (MS. Mus. c. 47) for the most part in content, but the order differs.

Farrant, Gibbons, Hall with Hine (in E flat), Charles Jones, Patrick, Priest, Rogers, Tallis and Wise.
Services not found in the earlier sets are by Alcock, Croft (in A), R. Goodson, W. Hayes, Kelway, Charles King, Richard Shenton and Tudway. Copied by Morgan Cove and several other 18th-cent. hands. Added leaves include music copied by P. Hayes and others. MS. Mus. c. 46 is indexed by the same 19th-cent. hand as MS. Mus. c. 50.
