<poem>{{ Ecclesiarum mores et vitam moderare. Antiochus et Remus concedunt tibi Petre regni solium. Ethiopes horridos Matthae agnelli vellere. Thoma Bartholomae Ioannes Philippe Simon Iacobique pariles. En vos oriens et occidens immo teres mundi circulus habere se patres gaudet et expectat iudices }}
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
<poem>To order the conduct and life of the churches, Antiochus and Remus concede to you, Peter, the throne of the kingdom. Fearsome Ethiopians have Matthew in the fleece of a lamb. Equals of Thomas, Bartholomew, John, Philip, Simon, and James. Behold, the round world, both east and west, rejoices to have you as fathers and expects you to act as judges.
(Fragments of the sequence 'Clare sanctorum', which was set at greater length by Isaac and Lassus, and was intended for the feast of St Thomas, the Commemoration of St Paul, and the Common of Several Apostles)
