there_o before_o it_o be_v at_o our_o liberty_n to_o forbear_v in_o our_o church_n all_o psalmody_n if_o we_o please_v but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o only_o desire_v that_o that_o solemn_a engagement_n which_o be_v make_v to_o the_o bishop_n at_o the_o time_n of_o ordination_n may_v be_v consider_v for_o then_o the_o bishop_n ask_v the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v ordain_v priest_n this_o question_n will_v you_o reverent_o obey_v your_o ordinary_n and_o other_o chief_a minister_n unto_o who_o be_v commit_v the_o charge_n and_o government_n over_o you_o follow_v with_o a_o good_a

reject_v this_o new_a translation_n of_o the_o psalm_n recommend_v to_o he_o by_o his_o bishop_n i_o can_v see_v how_o he_o can_v avoid_v the_o censure_n of_o cast_v a_o scandalous_a reproach_n upon_o the_o godly_a judgement_n of_o his_o ordinary_a and_o palpable_o violate_v that_o religious_a obligation_n which_o he_o solemn_o enter_v into_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o ordination_n before_o the_o bishop_n the_o priest_n and_o all_o the_o congregation_n but_o i_o fancy_v the_o person_n be_v but_o few_o who_o will_v be_v so_o hardy_a against_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o cancel_v all_o that_o veneration_n which_o be_v due_a both_o to_o their_o diocesan_n and_o themselves_o if_o they_o hope_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v their_o helper_n however_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o use_v of_o this_o new_a version_n be_v conformable_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n which_o lay_v upon_o all_o her_o son_n a_o very_a strict_a engagement_n of_o act_v suitable_o to_o her_o pious_a intention_n and_o therefore_o those_o that_o encourage_v and_o promote_v it_o tell_v we_o this_o in_o their_o own_o vindication_n that_o till_o a_o civil_a compliance_n with_o our_o governor_n must_v pass_v for_o a_o instance_n of_o factious_a obedience_n and_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o convocation_n in_o a_o thing_n lawful_a and_o commendable_a be_v vncanonical_a till_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o governor_n in_o church_n and_o state_n have_v countenance_v a_o thing_n impious_a or_o unlawful_a or_o have_v recommend_v a_o thing_n for_o which_o they_o have_v no_o just_a authority_n this_o new_a translation_n can_v easy_o be_v reject_v by_o they_o 2._o and_o they_o just_o think_v it_o can_v be_v inveterate_o oppose_v by_o any_o unless_o it_o be_v by_o some_o few_o person_n who_o may_v envy_v the_o production_n because_o it_o be_v not_o their_o own_o or_o because_o it_o have_v meet_v with_o such_o good_a success_n or_o those_o that_o be_v prejudice_v against_o the_o royal_a allowance_n because_o william_n r._n be_v on_o the_o front_n of_o it_o or_o such_o as_o look_v upon_o the_o

against_o any_o thing_n bare_o for_o its_o being_n new_a the_o three_o argument_n for_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o new_a psalm_n be_v that_o they_o be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o advancement_n of_o piety_n and_o devotion_n and_o this_o arise_v from_o the_o genuine_a excellence_n and_o composure_n of_o this_o new_a version_n which_o by_o many_o degree_n surpass_v the_o old_a but_o if_o any_o will_v vindicate_v the_o old_a and_o think_v they_o preferable_a to_o these_o their_o judgement_n it_o seem_v run_v quite_o counter_a to_o that_o of_o the_o government_n which_o will_v never_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o encourage_v this_o new_a version_n have_v it_o not_o esteem_v it_o far_o superior_a and_o that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o government_n be_v not_o herein_o if_o any_o one_o imagine_v it_o mistake_v i_o appeal_v to_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o mankind_n who_o will_v please_v as_o the_o patron_n and_o promoter_n of_o this_o version_n have_v do_v impartial_o to_o peruse_v and_o compare_v they_o and_o i_o can_v easy_o make_v appear_v by_o several_a instance_n take_v from_o such_o old_a psalm_n as_o be_v esteem_v the_o most_o unexceptionable_a among_o they_o but_o i_o rather_o choose_v to_o cast_v a_o veil_n upon_o their_o infirmity_n and_o since_o they_o former_o live_v in_o some_o repute_n to_o let_v they_o die_v without_o expose_v their_o weakness_n whereas_o
