No. Ravenscroft never claims to have composed anything in his first 3
books.

The rounds that appear in the 1580 Lant manuscript and later printed
by Ravenscroft clearly weren't written by him, as he wasn't born
yet.

Several of his song titles and lyrics have literary references which
likewise date back to when he was not born yet, was a small child, etc.

He may very well have written some of them and arranged some of them.
