The Cabinet Mat. 6.19 LAY not your treasures upon Earth where worldlings love to deal And where the moth and rust corrupt and thieves break through and steal But heap in heaven treasures pure from all corruption free For where your treasure is be sure your hearts will also be HYMN 264. The wise builder Mat. 7.24 WHoever hears these Words of mine and doth them saith the holy one Is like a wise man in 's design that built his house on rocky stone And Rain and Floods and Winds in course Did beat upon that House with force And it fell not for all the shock For it was founded on a Rock But he that hears without regard of doing that which I command To a foolish man shall be compar'd that built his House upon the Sand Then Flouds of Rain and Tempests great Upon that House did fiercely beat And down it fell unto the ground And great the fall thereof was found HYMN 265.

shall say no more but that if these twenty short Hymns following prefix'd for Preface being supernumerary to the Centuries and consisting most-what of History and Crimination be thought by some not so suitable for Song yet for Apology-sake I would have the Judicious consider that some Psalms consist of the same Subjects The 104th Psalm as learned Dr. Roberts saith is a Narrative of the first five days Creation and of Man for whom all things were made as is shewed throughout the Psalm The 105th and 106th Psalms are Narrative and Criminatory also as some other Psalms are as Psalm 50. and Psalm 78. and many others Neither are such Psalms without great use for Edification and Edification is a matter of such importance that the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 15.5.26 Let all things be done to edifying and Greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues that the Church may receive edifying So that if these twenty following Hymns touching the Creation c. were but frequently read though not sung it might by imprinting in the memory conduce much to Edification which is the design of the whole By Thy Servant For Jesus sake William Barton The Author has finished all that ever he intended both Hymns and Psalm-Book AN ADVERTISEMENT Concerning this Posthumous Edition OF THE HYMN-BOOK Courteous Reader BE pleased to understand that the Author of these Hymns having a natural Propensity to Divine Poesie and being conversant in the Hebrew Tongue took great delight in the study and frequent Meditation of David's Psalms which at last did incline him to set upon a new Translation thereof into English Metre finding withall that the ancient usage of our Speech in Sternhold and Hopkins Translation was become obsoletely contemptuous to many people of this Age which pious and laborious undertaking he having happily effected caused it to be published in the year of our Lord 1644. which Impression selling off quickly he set forth a second Edition in the year 1645. and it was again reprinted An. 1654. in 12o. besides the Piracies which some committed upon him afterwards finding himself at leisure in his Meditations upon several parts of Sacred Scripture he collected 100 Hymns and published them under the Title of a Century of Select Hymns collected out of S. Scripture and Printed Anno 1659. in 12o. and finding in a little time that this single Century was very acceptable to the people it did much encourage him to proceed as he did in collecting another Century of Chapter-Hymns for so he called them to distinguish them from the Psalm-Hymns which he afterwards published for after he had finished his second Century of Chapter-Hymns he took occasion to overlook the multiplicity of Aliters which he had made in his Translation of the Psalms wherein he found that many of those which he had refused at first were not inferiour to those which he had published in his Psalm-Book but were far too many to insert in that Book therefore not willing that any of his Labours should be lost he composed out of them two Centuries more of Psalm-Hymns which four Centuries unpollished and as yet not Methodized to use the Author 's own words in his Epistle to the Reader before the Psalm-Hymns Section 5. Because these Centuries were formerly put forth Anno Dom. 1668 against my will by an imperfect Copy and in great disorder I have put them into a handsome method passing by no Psalm of common use but have in whole or in part inserted it and have put the whole Psalms together in double Metres and having reviewed the four Centuries which were surreptitiously printed without the knowledge or consent of the Author but after that he did then methodize and polish them at his leisure to render them as near the Hebrew and yet as smooth and acceptable as was possible to mean Capacities and in the year 1670. he published the two Centuries of Chapter-Hymns and in the year 1672. he set forth the two Centuries of Psalm-Hymns at his own proper cost and charges and all in order according to his own desire and design but since that time it pleasing God to prolong his days he collected a third Century more out of the Chapters of the Old and New Testament and another out of the Psalms which he compleated together with a Catechism the Book of Canticles and a Catalogue of the Vertuous Women mentioned in Holy Writ all in Metre with the last Additions and Corrections of the Author 's own hand writing and his twenty Prefatory Hymns besides his Replenishings with various Metres as also compleating it with divers excellent Aliters with his last supervising and then declared to his Children Relations and Friends that he had finished all he designed returning thanks to Almighty God that had spared him to finish his Work and hoped he should survive to see both his Psalm-book and Hymn-book so at large compleated to be printed but within a short time after he sickened and upon the 14th day of May 1678. it pleased God to call him out of this life to his Heavenly Kingdom being aged about 74 or 75 and since his death his last Revise of the Psalm-book was printed Anno 1682. and Now this present year 1688. is published the rest of his Works carefully preserved ever since his death viz. The Compleat Hymn-Book in Six Centuries besides Aliters double Metres and distinct Parts which together with the Prefatory Hymns amounts to the number of 778 Hymns besides the Catechism the Book of Canticles and a Catalogue of Vertuous Women enlarged all in Metre and thoroughly corrected by his own hand a little before his Death The Third Century of Chapter-Hymns are wholly New and the last Century that he made of Psalm-Hymns which though mixed for Method sake are distinguishable by the Poetical Arguments were never before printed And though the Psalm-Hymns in this Edition follow in order yet you may not expect here a Psalm-Book for here is never a Hymn composed upon any of these 29 following Psalms viz. the 5.10.13.17.18.22.26.27.28.35.38.40.56.57.58.59.60.64.71.75.76.78.88.94.109.116.118.140.143 for these you may see his Psalm-Book printed 1682. in 12o. which with this Hymn-Book makes up the Author's Divine Works compleat I need say no more concerning this Posthumous Edition of the Hymn-Book it will sufficiently manifest its excellency in the perusal but this only I do assure the Reader that all the care imaginable has been taken that no Injustice might be done to the Memory of the Worthy Author through any considerable Errata's not only by the Circumspection of the Printer and Corrector but by sending the Sheets of the whole Work to be Corrected by his Son And Your Servant in Christ Jesus Edward Barton Minister of Welford in Northamptonshire Justin Martyr of the use and Excellency of Spiritual Songs in the Church In his 107.

Hymn pag. 678. hath no proper Tune of its own but in the old Psalm-Book is referred to the Tune of the 112 Psalm which is the proper Tune of the Lord's Prayer as it is in the old psalm-Psalm-Book Note That the 111 Psalm as it is in the old Psalm-Book may be sung in the Tune of the old 120 Psalm which is a shorter Tune And all these Tunes except the New Tunes are taken out of the old Psalm-Book rectified by Mr. Ravenscroft The TUNES of several HYMNS in this Book PSALM 50.

TEach me O Lord the way whereto thy Statutes tend So shall I never go astray but keep it to the end Give me to understand and then shall I endeavour To act O Lord by thy command with my whole heart for ever In paths of thy commands Lord make me go aright For ver'ly my desire so stands and therein I delight Incline my heart O Lord that I may not digress Incline it to thy holy word and not to covetousness Lord turn away mine eyes turn them O Lord I pray From viewing worldly vanities and quicken me in thy way Establish thou thy word unto thy servant dear Who wholly is devoted Lord unto thy faithfull fear The obloquy I fear Lord turn away from me For I confess to thee how clear How good thy Judgments be Behold how my desires do for thy precepts press O stir these heats these holy fires to shew thy righteousness Here follows a perfect Praxis for the Tune of the old 111 Psalm because those Examples of p. 508. 2. M. and of the 120 Psalm want Hypermeters to each second Verse and may well be sung in the proper Tune of the 120 Ps. but not in the Tune of the old 111 Psalm Pardon of sin implored the suit pursued the mercy assured Out of the 130 Psalm OUT of the dreadfull deeps Where fear and horror keeps I cry'd to thee O Lord Lord hear my voice said I ATTEND unto my CRY And to my suits accord For shouldst thou mark O God What by-paths we have trod By sinfull Conversation Who then O Lord shall stand Or scape thy heavy hand Of righteous Condemnation But Lord there is with thee Forgiveness full and free That thou may'st be ador'd I wait upon the Lord My soul waits on his Word And there my hopes are stor'd My soul waits patiently Upon the Lord most high And for his words performing More eagerly than they That watch for break of day And dawning of the morning Yea Lord my soul and mind Attendeth still to find Free favour in thy sight Whereafter I enquire With earnester desire Than Watch-man for the light Let Israel hope therefore In God for evermore For with the Lord is mercy And plenteous grace with him To pardon all our sin Which made the Controversie A Perfect Praxis for the Tune of the old 126 Psalm Out of the 117 Psalm PRaise ye the Lord O all ye Nations far and near His praise record O all ye people every where Because we find How very great and marvellous His mercies kind And his compassion is to us His Faithfull Word Endures for evermore Praise ye the Lord Praise ye the Lord therefore The Fourth Century Beginning the PSALM-HYMNS HYMN 301. A blessed Man described Psalm 1. THE man is blest whose piety forbids to turn aside In Counsel or Society with men unsanctify'd That from those evil paths doth keep wherein the wicked are And joyns not in their fellowship that sit in scorners chair verse 2 But in the Law of God the Lord he placeth his delight And meditateth on his Word devoutly Day and Night verse 3 He shall be like a planted tree that near a River springs Which always as his seasons be abundant fruit forth brings verse 4 Whose leaf likewise shall never fade but flourish still and stand And prosperous shall his works be made what'ere he takes in hand verse 5 But as for men of wicked minds far otherwise are they And like the chaff which boisterous winds drive easily away verse 6 Therefore th' ungodly never may in Judgment rise up clear Nor sinners in the Judgment Day among the Saints appear verse 7 For God doth favourably know the Godly Persons Path Whereas the way that sinners go shall perish in his Wrath. HYMN 302. 2. METRE Argument Good men and bad this first Hymn comprehends Discovering fully both their ways and ends Have mercy c. Psalm 1. A Blessed man is he that is not led aside By counsels of impiety to go where sinners guide Nor sits in scorners seat but in Gods Law delights And in this Law doth meditate continual Days and Nights He shall be like a plant set by the Rivers side Whose boughs no timely fruit do want whose leaf shall fresh abide And well shall he succeed in all good works design'd Not so th' ungodly they shall speed as chaff dispers'd with wind Therefore ungodly men shall not stand justify'd Nor sinners with the righteous then when Judgment must be try'd For ways of men upright the Lord doth kindly know But sinners paths shall perish quite with everlasting woe
