Les rossignols spirituels

Is there someone out there who can provide music for the following? I'm surprised not to be able to find the collection online.
Thank you for your assistance!

The poem appeared in "La pieuse alouette", vol. 2, page 221, published at Valencienne in France in 1621. A scan of the book is available in the Internet Archive, so here are the relevant pages, though they only include one melody.
The 16th-c. composer Peter Philips appears to have written a setting, though I don't know whether it is the one you need. -
A "Bel ange du ciel" by Peter Philips on CPDL has a different melody. I wonder if the Toronto Consort on You tube aren't singing "sur le livre" rather than from a published harmonization: see Elam Rotem on Santa Maria, or an equally entertaining course here: 4-part homophony is demonstrated in this chapter.

I'll take that back; La pieuse alouette alludes to "A ce coup j'ai rompu les chaines", apparently by Guédron. No luck on IMSLP, but this might lead you to something.
