Hi James

Actually Byrd's Gradualia does read "voluntatem" (there's a facsimile on IMSLP), as do some psalters I have seen from this period, including that of Sarum Use which Byrd would have known in his youth. So Byrd's reading would have been deliberate and not an error. I don't know when the Vulgate changed to 'voluptatem'. Maybe later in the 17th cent?
