First published:
{{Descr|The Hamond partbooks in the Bodleian Library attribute this piece to Osbert Parsley (1511–1585). A privately owned, seventeenth-century contratenor partbook attributes the piece to 'Mr Henry Molle' (c.1597–1658). Stylistically the attribution to Parsley is the more credible.}
