how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o you_o may_v observe_v it_o that_o the_o sing_n of_o ballad_n be_v very_o late_o renew_v and_o come_v on_o a_o fresh_a again_o so_o that_o in_o every_o fair_a and_o market_n almost_o you_o shall_v have_v one_o or_o two_o sing_v and_o sell_v of_o ballad_n &_o they_o be_v bring_v up_o a_o pace_n which_o though_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o small_a thing_n at_o the_o first_o yet_o i_o be_o great_o afraid_a of_o it_o for_o as_o when_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n come_v first_o in_o the_o sing_n of_o ballad_n that_o be_v rife_o in_o popery_n begin_v to_o cease_v and_o in_o time_n be_v clean_o banish_v away_o in_o many_o place_n so_o now_o the_o sudden_a renew_n of_o they_o and_o hasty_a receive_n of_o they_o every_o where_o make_v i_o to_o suspect_v lest_o they_o shall_v drive_v away_o the_o sing_n of_o psalm_n again_o see_v they_o can_v so_o hardly_o stand_v together_o of_o which_o i_o be_o so_o much_o the_o more_o jealous_a because_o i_o see_v that_o in_o other_o place_n also_o where_o these_o be_v not_o receive_v in_o decay_a what_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o sing_v of_o psalm_n be_v so_o decay_a yet_o the_o sing_n of_o psalm_n be_v great_o leave_v over_o that_o it_o have_v wont_a to_o be_v but_o if_o we_o will_v search_v out_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o evil_a disease_n in_o ourselves_o and_o other_o that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v cure_v we_o shall_v easy_o find_v it_o in_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o this_o duty_n have_v be_v commend_v unto_o we_o before_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o ephesian_n 5.18_o ephes_n 5.18_o be_v not_o drink_v with_o wine_n wherein_o be_v excess_n but_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n 19_o speak_v one_o unto_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v

teach_v and_o admonish_v one_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v with_o a_o grace_n unto_o the_o lord_n in_o your_o heart_n in_o which_o place_n he_o first_o of_o all_o forewarn_v we_o under_o one_o kind_n that_o we_o be_v not_o overfill_v with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n but_o use_v they_o as_o though_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o leave_v they_o
