‘The psalms of David’ in English, with annotations by Christopher Carlile. The first verse of Psalm i runs thus: ‘O the felicities of that man, who folowethe not the counsell of the wicked, neither persistethe in the trade of revolte, nor sittethe in the assembly of the malicyous’. The first 49 leaves contain notes that the author ‘could not conveniently place in the margyne’, written in a hand different from the rest of the manuscript. The psalter has its leaves numbered throughout; between ff. 14 and 15 according to this numbering are inserted 20 leaves of additional notes in the same hand as the first 49 leaves. The text and marginal notes were written in 1573 (see f. 49); the remaining notes were written in 1579 (see ff. 1 and 48b). At the end is a ‘table for the Psalms’. f. 3 gives the name James Carsell, f. 48 contains some accounts, and in Psalm cxlvii two diagrams are inserted, showing the planetary orbits and the signs of the zodiac.
