A47361	An answer to Mr. Marlow's Appendix Wherein his arguments to prove that singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, was performed in the primitive church by a special or an extraordinary gift, and therefore not to be practised in these days, are examined, and clearly detected. Also some reflections on what he speaks on the word hymnos, hymnos: and on his undue quotations of divers learned men. By a learned hand. By B. Keach.	Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704.	1691 (1691)	Wing K43A; ESTC R223737	27,870	57

all_o external_a ordinance_n must_v go_v as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o sing_v in_o a_o word_n we_o must_v give_v up_o our_o whole_a visible_a profession_n and_o wait_v for_o those_o extraordinary_a
