And here is how it sounds (warts and all) It's a little quick as I had to keep the length under twitter's time limit. Please excuse the midi sounds.

Transcription wise, the clefs are not visible but F5, C4, G3(?), C2 seem the most likely. The original piece of paper has been cropped for binding so not all the original music is visible. Nevertheless, it is still possible to transcribe. (9/10).

The piece in the fragment shares some similarities to the Fayrfax (both are notated down a third, and the tenor is occassion treated in the same way). F's setting may have circulated in educational contexts - this fragment may be one student's excersise based on Fayrfax. (8/10).

There is a tradition of using 'O Lux beata' as an education excersise (e.g. settings by Baldwin and Preston in RM.24.d.2, Redford in BL 30513). Similar traditions exist also around the antiphon Miserere and the 'In Nomine tradition'. (7/10).

The piece looks like a mensural excersise (playing about with time values), probably not conceived as a liturgical setting (the 6-line stave is more typical of instrument music). What is also interesting is the crossings out. possibly a compositional sketch - a student's? (6/10)

On the back of the fragment we find the text 'O lux Fayrefax'. This quickly elludes to a piece by Robert Fayrfax 'O Lux Beata' found in BL MS 4911 (f. 103v). These are not the same pieces of music - there is much more going on in the fragment. (5/10)

@Wilus1969's picture of the watermark, and his measurement of c. 83mm, point towards Briquet 11363 - we can therefore date the paper to the 1550s. It must therefore have been hanging around before being being incorporation into late-17thC binding. (4/10)

Marks on the back suggest the fragment was used as binder's waste. The current binding is English and not earlier than the late 17th Century. The book has been in the library since 1715 - it was part of the collection of Bish John Moore of Ely. (thx to @Wilus1969 for this) (3/10).
