a_o cathedral_n shall_v acquaint_v his_o choir_n that_o such_o a_o new_a anthem_n he_o think_v may_v very_o proper_o be_v sing_v and_o they_o notwithstanding_o shall_v tune_n their_o voice_n to_o a_o

the_o promote_a this_o design_n because_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o expose_v the_o authority_n of_o their_o superior_n to_o contempt_n which_o they_o judge_v they_o must_v incur_v by_o a_o careless_a or_o violent_a opposition_n to_o it_o and_o which_o they_o sancy_n will_v amount_v to_o little_o less_o than_o this_o viz._n when_o their_o lordship_n tell_v they_o they_o can_v do_v no_o less_o

will_v look_v as_o if_o they_o shall_v answer_v we_o can_v never_o find_v out_o where_o either_o the_o judgement_n or_o ingenuity_n lay_v and_o when_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v that_o they_o be_v

will_v it_o not_o be_v to_o tell_v the_o world_n that_o they_o think_v the_o objection_n be_v very_o frivolous_a and_o the_o old_a psalm_n be_v a_o laudable_a part_n of_o our_o devotion_n thus_o they_o argue_v for_o their_o just_a compliance_n and_o shall_v they_o be_v of_o a_o contrary_a opinion_n this_o will_v be_v to_o magnify_v their_o own_o judgement_n in_o opposition_n to_o that_o of_o their_o superior_n whereas_o the_o tender_a regard_n and_o veneration_n they_o have_v for_o the_o reputation_n and_o advice_n of_o their_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n and_o the_o fear_n of_o expose_v

to_o be_v too_o remiss_a in_o pay_v honour_n to_o who_o such_o honour_n be_v due_a this_o therefore_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o first_o argument_n i_o have_v choose_v for_o the_o use_v of_o these_o

advice_n the_o second_o argument_n i_o propose_v to_o insist_v upon_o for_o vindicate_v the_o design_n of_o the_o patron_n and_o promoter_n of_o this_o work_n of_o introduce_v it_o into_o the_o

it_o be_v allow_v of_o by_o the_o king_n and_o recommede_v by_o the_o bishop_n for_o in_o the_o rubric_n before_o the_o sentence_n at_o the_o offertory_n be_v these_o word_n and_o nothing_o shall_v

rule_n of_o this_o book_n or_o enjoin_v by_o the_o king_n or_o the_o ordinary_a of_o the_o place_n where_o by_o the_o way_n thus_o much_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o no_o clerk_n of_o a_o parish_n can_v sing_v in_o the_o church_n but_o as_o he_o be_v direct_v by_o his_o minister_n and_o as_o he_o act_v as_o his_o deputy_n but_o against_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o rubric_n i_o foresee_v you_o may_v thus_o argue_v that_o this_o new_a version_n be_v neither_o enjoin_v by_o the_o king_n nor_o the_o ordinary_a of_o the_o place_n as_o the_o rubric_n specify_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v receive_v no_o countenance_n or_o authority_n from_o thence_o and_o so_o far_o i_o confess_v the_o objection_n seem_v to_o be_v valid_a but_o yet_o though_o neither_o the_o king_n nor_o the_o ordinary_a literal_o enjoin_v yet_o they_o allow_v and_o recommend_v these_o psalm_n and_o that_o rubric_n which_o empower_v they_o to_o enjoin_v do_v much_o more_o empower_v they_o to_o allow_v and_o

to_o be_v sing_v yet_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o rubric_n none_o else_o can_v be_v sing_v because_o none_o else_o be_v express_o allow_v of_o and_o recommend_v by_o the_o king_n and_o the_o ordinary_a now_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o rubric_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o power_n and_o force_n both_o of_o a_o convocation_n and_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n because_o it_o be_v

abroad_o recommend_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o rubric_n which_o empower_n both_o the_o king_n and_o the_o ordinary_a not_o only_o to_o enjoin_v but_o much_o more_o to_o allow_v and_o

that_o encouragement_n which_o it_o have_v already_o receive_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o bishop_n and_o endeavour_n to_o enervate_a all_o their_o efficacy_n and_o strength_n by_o render_v

for_o approve_v at_o lest_o what_o be_v sit_v to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o public_a service_n and_o since_o this_o very_a society_n have_v by_o their_o own_o voluntary_a
