of_o sport_n be_v command_v to_o be_v read_v to_o the_o grieve_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o godly_a nevertheless_o this_o wicked_a purpose_n do_v not_o corrupt_a god_n ordinance_n though_o to_o

proper_a term_n of_o the_o o._n test._n psalm_n as_o mr_n cotton_n full_o prove_v in_o his_o defence_n of_o this_o ordinance_n and_o if_o our_o saviour_n do_v allude_v to_o the_o jewish_a custom_n of_o thanksgiving_n at_o the_o sacrament_n as_o weems_n say_v we_o think_v no_o less_o at_o his_o sing_n of_o a_o hymn_n mat._n 26._o 30._o whereas_o they_o have_v not_o a_o word_n to_o intimate_v

from_o the_o original_a in_o the_o signification_n of_o many_o word_n answ._n so_o they_o must_v do_v also_o in_o the_o prose_n translation_n for_o that_o which_o be_v elegant_a in_o the_o hebrew_n will_v be_v barbarism_n at_o least_o solecism_n in_o our_o language_n as_o abundant_o appear_v by_o ainsworth_n translation_n 2._o sometime_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o latitude_n of_o poesy_n more_o full_a and_o proper_a signification_n may_v be_v express_v then_o in_o the_o prose_n translation_n as_o psal._n 1._o 6._o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o to_o

{non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o to_o shed_v abundant_o and_o hundred_o such_o which_o the_o prose_n do_v more_o spare_o 3._o consider_v the_o property_n and_o nature_n of_o verse_n that_o if_o david_n have_v translate_v his_o own_o psalm_n the_o expression_n must_v have_v be_v different_a in_o another_o language_n though_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v the_o translation_n of_o the_o lxx_o much_o varie_n the_o word_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o if_o i_o have_v as_o much_o to_o spare_v as_o i_o have_v spend_v about_o the_o work_n i_o can_v easy_o demonstrate_v out_o of_o uncontrolled_a authority_n how_o close_o i_o have_v follow_v the_o original_a though_o now_o i_o must_v content_v myself_o with_o on_o apology_n and_o put_v forth_o some_o special_a hebraïsm_n in_o a_o capital_a letter_n last_o some_o object_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o sing_v because_o of_o a_o mix_a multitude_n that_o they_o say_v cur_n themselves_o answ._n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o bless_v god_n and_o his_o church_n sure_o their_o fault_n can_v be_v charge_v upon_o we_o if_o they_o shall_v sing_v damnation_n to_o themselves_o 2._o the_o same_o objection_n will_v deny_v we_o all_o prayer_n and_o spiritual_a communion_n which_o be_v not_o so_o far_o admit_v unto_o they_o now_o adays_o but_o shall_v they_o come_v in_o as_o stranger_n they_o can_v not_o pollute_v the_o ordinance_n nor_o the_o church_n and_o the_o majesty_n of_o it_o may_v be_v bless_v to_o their_o good_a 1_o cor._n 14._o 14_o 25._o to_o they_o that_o

unto_o thou_o they_o shall_v sing_v unto_o thy_o name_n yet_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o answer_v such_o fond_a surmise_n with_o 1_o cor._n 11._o 16._o we_o have_v no_o such_o custom_n nor_o yet_o the_o church_n of_o god_n psal._n xlviii_o great_a be_v the_o lord_n he_o praise_n no_o less_o for_o so_o must_v we_o record_v in_o this_o his_o hill_n of_o holiness_n and_o city_n of_o our_o lord_n 2_o mount_n zion_n be_v a_o beauteous_a thing_n and_o on_o her_o northern_a side_n the_o city_n of_o the_o mighty_a king_n the_o whole_a earth_n joy_n and_o pride_n 3_o the_o lord_n within_o her_o
