however_o mean_o this_o way_n of_o make_v melody_n in_o our_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v think_v by_o some_o it_o have_v be_v certain_o of_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n stand_v in_o the_o

the_o author_n offer_v to_o our_o consideration_n two_o thing_n 1._o the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o church-music_n 2._o it_o be_v use_n in_o the_o reform_a church_n 1._o the_o antiquity_n of_o instrumental_a music_n as_o use_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n he_o say_v it_o have_v certain_o be_v of_o above_o a_o thousand_o year_n stand_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n 1._o suppose_v this_o be_v grant_v he_o yet_o for_o 600_o year_n by_o our_o author_n confession_n the_o christian_a church_n be_v stranger_n to_o they_o so_o that_o in_o the_o pure_a and_o best_a time_n of_o christianity_n there_o be_v no_o organ_n resound_v in_o their_o temple_n after_o the_o four_o first_o century_n many_o superstition_n find_v way_n into_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o after_o that_o time_n as_o dr._n cave_n say_v christ_n say_v caves_n preface_n to_o prim._n christ_n the_o life_n and_o spirit_n of_o christianity_n do_v visible_o decline_v apace_o and_o when_o the_o spirit_n and_o life_n of_o christianity_n decline_v no_o wonder_n if_o organ_n and_o latin_a service_n and_o many_o other_o such_o superstitious_a usage_n meet_v with_o admittance_n and_o approbation_n none_o pretend_v as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v that_o organ_n be_v use_v in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o christian_n till_o the_o time_n of_o pope_n vitaliane_n he_o be_v the_o first_o who_o recommend_v the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n to_o christian_a assembly_n and_o i_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n protestant_n have_v of_o be_v the_o more_o fond_a of_o it_o because_o first_o introduce_v by_o a_o pope_n 2._o but_o than_o it_o be_v somewhat_o doubtful_a whether_o instrumental_a music_n have_v so_o early_a a_o admission_n into_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o our_o author_n pretend_v but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v deliver_v my_o thought_n before_o 3._o many_o corruption_n in_o worship_n have_v be_v of_o a_o thousand_o year_n stand_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n altar_n idolatrous_a image_n latin_a mass_n etc._n etc._n can_v plead_v as_o great_a antiquity_n as_o organ_n but_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o render_v the_o sacred_a use_n of_o these_o thing_n warrantable_a 2._o as_o to_o the_o use_n of_o organ_n among_o the_o reform_a he_o say_v they_o have_v be_v receive_v and_o approve_v of_o by_o the_o reform_a 13._o ser._n p._n 13._o to_o confirm_v this_o he_o add_v the_o

of_o this_o sort_n of_o church-music_n do_v he_o so_o if_o our_o author_n have_v fair_o prove_v it_o i_o may_v have_v be_v incline_v to_o believe_v it_o but_o what_o evidence_n do_v he_o give_v of_o it_o why_o true_o just_a none_n at_o all_o he_o cite_v we_o a_o passage_n from_o somebody_o it_o be_v true_a for_o he_o tell_v we_o not_o who_o who_o have_v write_v the_o life_n of_o luther_n which_o he_o imagine_v may_v import_v some_o such_o thing_n the_o passage_n as_o our_o author_n translate_v it_o be_v this_o luther_n speak_v of_o the_o communion_n service_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o mother-tongue_n say_v i_o rather_o wish_v than_o promise_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o so_o great_a a_o work_n for_o it_o require_v both_o music_n and_o a_o spirit_n and_o then_o he_o lament_n the_o want_n of_o poet_n to_o compose_v and_o sing_v godly_a song_n but_o to_o this_o a_o few_o thing_n 1._o i_o wish_v he_o have_v tell_v we_o where_o we_o may_v have_v find_v this_o passage_n that_o we_o may_v have_v arrive_v to_o the_o great_a satisfaction_n about_o it_o i_o have_v consult_v melchior_n adam_n account_n of_o luther_n life_n and_o i_o can_v find_v it_o there_o 2._o but_o suppose_v this_o for_o truth_n that_o luther_n have_v thus_o deliver_v himself_o i_o can_v see_v what_o advantage_n our_o author_n cause_n will_v have_v by_o it_o what_o if_o he_o have_v say_v that_o the_o translate_n the_o communion_n service_n into_o the_o mother-tongue_n require_v both_o music_n and_o a_o spirit_n must_v it_o present_o be_v suppose_v that_o he_o understand_v it_o of_o instrumental_a music_n what!_o be_v there_o no_o other_o sort_n of_o music_n than_o instrumental_a ay_o but_o he_o lament_n the_o want_n of_o poet_n to_o compose_v and_o sing_v godly_a song_n admirable_a proof_n that_o he_o approve_v of_o the_o use_n of_o organ_n in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o christian_n what!_o can_v a_o person_n speak_v of_o compose_v and_o sing_v godly_a song_n but_o present_o our_o author_n must_v alarm_n we_o with_o the_o loud_a noise_n of_o musical_a instrument_n if_o this_o be_v all_o the_o proof_n he_o can_v produce_v to_o evidence_n luther_n approbation_n of_o this_o sort_n of_o church_n music_n it_o have_v be_v better_a he_o have_v hold_v his_o peace_n and_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o 3._o but_o whatever_o our_o author_n suggest_v i_o be_o incline_v to_o believe_v that_o luther_n never_o approve_v of_o the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o rather_o dislike_v it_o for_o

of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v 1._o i_o own_o that_o some_o of_o the_o follower_n of_o luther_n have_v instrumental_a music_n as_o well_o as_o vocal_a in_o their_o public_a worship_n but_o in_o this_o

yet_o they_o use_v they_o to_o excite_v their_o affection_n have_v they_o not_o the_o picture_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o their_o church_n and_o be_v they_o not_o zealous_a stickler_n for_o the_o
