St. PHILIPS (Webbe)?

There are 116 instances of MELCOMBE, a tune by Samuel Webbe (the elder). All of them are called MELCOMBE (or some derivative or further specification thereof, like "MELCOMBE (O SALUTARIS)")... except the one in the CCEH, which, as far as I can see with no cause whatsoever, is called ST. PHILIPS. I'm wondering if somebody entering CCEH data got their spreadsheet a line off at some point... But if there is a reason for calling it "St. Philips" I think it would be worth a note for the enlightenment of us poor benighted users...
