"First published in 1873 by Novello, edited by Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley, with the identifying note: ''of which the scores are not contained in William Boyce's collection'' and only existed prior in manuscript and part books. Although the volume contains two pieces now attributed to Henry Loosemore, the style does appear to be that of Gibbons. In Ouseley's publication, the anthem is paired as the ''secunda pars'' of ''Deliver us, O Lord (Orlando Gibbons)'', and also printed separately (with a few minor differences). Although in Ouseley's publication (and presumably the manuscript sources from which he was working) there are only four voices, it is clear from the number of open 5ths that this leaves that there is a missing voice."
