Mr. Travers

[If "Mr. Travers" is the composer John Travers, b. ca. 1703, d. 1758, the dating of the reversed portion of the Webber MS is significantly later than the signature "Mrs Mary Webber: Her Book Anno Domini 1694" [see item 5.2]. Without the musical arrangement to accompany this hymn, it is difficult to be certain, as other contemporary composers including Orlando Gibbons wrote arrangments based, as this one is, on Psalm 47.]
