In the college statutes, Magdalen's founder, William Waynflete, ordained that college members should recite the antiphon to the Trinity each morning and night, and Sheppard's pair of settings of Libera nos, salva nos appear to have been written for this purpose, probably for use at the end of compline, framing the versicles and response ''Benedicamus Patrem''. The cantus firmus of the second setting is a faburden of the plainchant used in the first setting.
