Note 1. XLVIII. T. Carey.—Carey wrote Psalm cxi. in the select version mentioned in the preceding notes. This, however, is not found in the original MS., but in a copy, “Manuscrib’d by R. Cr.” This manuscript is beautifully bound in white vellum, with other original poetry; the whole being entitled “A Handful of Celestial Flowers; viz. divers selected Psalms of David in verse, differently translated from those used in the Church; Divers Meditations upon our Saviour’s Passion; Certain Hymnes or Carrolls for Christmas Daie; A Divine Pastorell Eglogue; Meditations upon the 1st and 13th verses of ye 17th chap, of Job. Composed by divers worthie and learned Gentlemen.” The other poems in this MS. belong to a later date than that to which this selection refers. [back]
