"A responsory described as “a 14”. The 3 parts in the 4th choir, however, are clearly intended to be instrumental (chirimias – a species of shawm and sackbut - an early form of trombone). The manuscript does not set the text to the bass parts in the 2nd and 3rd choir. These parts are described as “ministriles”, indicating that they were intended to be played by instruments as well as, or instead of, voices. Uses the same combination of voices as "Missa a 11". So the two works may have been intended to be sung on the same occasion."

Magnificavit eum in conspectu regum. Et dedit illi coronam gloriae. Statuit illi testamentum sempiternum, et beatificavit illum, in gloria.
