William Slatyer (1587 - 1647)

Thoresby, Musaeum Thoresbyanum (1713) The Psalms of David in four Languages, and in four Parts, set to the Tunes of our Church, by Will. Slatyer 1643, in 12°. The Hebrew, Greek, Latin and English Metres, are curiously engraved upon Copper-Plates. This first Portion, or Nocturne, consists of 22 Psalms, but, I presume, no more were engraved; and this is so rare, that the Oxford Historian's Silence as to the Year of its Impression (wherein he is commendably critical) implies he had never seen one.
