forgot to eat thy Bread and thy Bones burnt as an Hearth that thou singest such things to the Lord in psalm 102. where thou tellest the Lord That thou hast filled thy Hunger with Ashes and thy Drink hath been Tears If these things be not true then thou art as grievous a Lyar as ever I heard of And how canst thou sing Psalm 103. That God hath removed thy Sin from thee as far as the East is from the West and yet sayst thou must have them as long as thou livest when as thy Sins yet remain with thee knawing upon thy Conscience for thus the Scripture saith He that commits Sin is a Servant of Sin And Sin lies at the Door of him that doth not well And it is God's Word to Cain and to all Cain's Generation for ever That their sins are not removed until they cease from committing of sin The Wrath of God remains upon the Transgressor And your noble Hosts of Ministers that you sung of the other day What is now become of them Have not they brought themseves and you to a fair pass and brought you back again almost twenty years journey and leaves you now in a Wilderness with the Bishops Which I am sure was not the reformation they told you of and these are not noble Ministers that have cast the Law of God behind their Backs but ignoble and so for them you cannot laud the Lord. And when didst thou loose all thy fatness with fasting that thy knees were so feeble as in Psalm 109. And when didst thou rise in Midnight to magnifie the Lord And when didst thou quake to see wicked men Gods Laws forsake And when didst thou praise God seven times a day And when was thy Body parched and dried like a skin Bottle in the smoke as thou singest in Psalm 119 verse 83. and 53. and when did the Light shine in thy heart as in Psal 225. And wherefore dost thou sing That thou are not puft in mind and hast no scornful eye when thou hast both in Psalm 131. and why dost thou desire God that the righteous should smite thee but when the righteous calls upon thee to fear God and repent then thou wilt smite him with the Fist of wickedness as in Palm 141. And what is the new Song which thou wilt sing unto the Lord as thou promisest in Psalm 144. hast thou any other Psalms but the old which Hopkins and Sternhold hath brought in And who brought up the Te Deum and Benedictus and Nunc Dimittis and Quicunque Vult did not some of these come from Rome and Doctor Cox his Song and Da Pacem Domine is not this like the Latine Service which the Pope tolerates And have you forgotten Bishop Bonners sayings when he heard the Protestants had set up Lord Bishops and retained some of the Church of Romes Ceremonies he smiled and said If they sup of our Broth we will make them eat of our Meat And this is a Caution to you Protestants that you beware of touching any thing appertaining to the Church of Rome for she will quite defile you and your Song of the Virgin Mary and Athenasius Symbolae do you know from whence these comes and your Song before Morning Prayer where you call upon the Gentiles to pray God bring them into his Light Here you confess that there is a Light in the Gentiles which you sing with a loud voice before all the People and in your Song before the Sermon you desire God to convert all your Foes and bring them to his Light Are not you all Quakers by your singing Bring all to the Light and when your Pastor feeds your souls with the Bread of Life that you sing of then examine well your selves and see if your souls be not rather starved upon the barren Mountains for lack of the Bread of Life then fed with it let the Light in your Conscience judge between you and me in this matter whether leanness and barrenness have not possessed your souls And what manner of Christians are you that sing ●ought but sin and wickedness ●●sts in your heart 〈…〉 the Lord you play your parts and how do you make melody in your hearts in sin and wickedness judg in your selves if you are fit Persons to sup with the Lord for this is your Thanksgiving Psalm appointed to be sung after the receiving of the Lords Supper And in the last Psalm you pray God to defend you from the Pope and Turk that would Gods dear Son thrust out of his Throne and yet honour the Pope and honour his Musick Surplice and Organ and Flesh and Fish dayes and Lent and you your selves will not give Christ a little room in your hearts to guide you by his Light as by your own confession you sing that there is nothing in your hearts but sin and wretchedness which I believe you while sin remains in your mortal Bodies and so conclude your selves all miserable Sinners and many more things you sing which is not to sing with the Understanding nor with the Spirit which makes Melody in the Hearts of Gods People which have Davids Spirit which taught them to sing Psalms and Hymes and Spiritual Songs before Hopkins and Sternholds were and need none of their Rymes and Meeters to teach them to sing How can you sing You all give honour to his holy Name when you curse and swear and daily profane it as in Psalm 27. And you sing The Righteous in the Lord rejoyce and yet your Priests say ye shall not be righteous while you are on Earth E. C THE END
