This motet is like many from this period, it was a verbal retaliation against the barbaric cruelty against Catholics in Elizabethan England. In 1585 Philips left Rome and travelled throughout Europe eventually settling in Antwerp, where he married and "mainteyned himself by teaching of children of the virginals being very cunning thereon." In 1593 he was taken to the Hague for interrogation on suspicion of plotting against Queen Elizabeth.
Four years later he became a member of the household of Archduke Albert, the regent of the Spanish Netherlands. Thus in the final part of his career he illustrates quite literally the charge, made in 1630, that "Though all our Recussants be the King of Englands subjects, yet too many of them be the King of Spaines servants."
