prophet_n of_o thy_o father_n and_o to_o the_o prophet_n of_o thy_o mother_n at_o his_o further_a presentation_n of_o their_o imminent_a destruction_n the_o prophet_n subjoin_v as_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n live_v before_o who_o i_o stand_v sure_o be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o regard_v the_o presence_n of_o jehoshaphat_n the_o king_n of_o judah_n i_o will_v not_o look_v towards_o thou_o nor_o see_v thou_o but_o now_o bring_v i_o a_o minstrel_n and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o the_o minstrel_n play_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o say_v that_o be_v he_o prophesy_v it_o may_v here_o be_v demand_v why_o elisha_n so_o great_a a_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o prophesy_v to_o so_o serious_a and_o so_o grave_a a_o work_n will_v seem_v to_o require_v so_o youthful_a a_o expedient_a as_o a_o minstrel_n and_o music_n concern_v which_o here_o be_v several_a probable_a reason_n assign_v 1._o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o lift_v up_o and_o comfort_v his_o mind_n at_o present_a perplex_a and_o trouble_v with_o bitterness_n of_o sudden_a passion_n as_o indignation_n at_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o idolatrous_a jehoram_n so_o also_o for_o

god_n 2._o to_o revive_v and_o cheer_v up_o his_o droop_a spirit_n that_o it_o may_v be_v enable_v and_o fit_v to_o prophesy_v as_o also_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n to_o attend_v unto_o the_o same_o loc_n 3._o this_o musician_n be_v probable_o a_o levite_n skilful_a in_o sing_v psalm_n and_o hymn_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o service_n thereto_o appertinent_a and_o play_v they_o on_o lute_n harp_n organ_n viol._n or_o other_o like_a instrument_n so_o have_v the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o those_o day_n solemn_a music_n at_o their_o sacrifice_n to_o quicken_v they_o up_o to_o prayer_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n so_o at_o that_o great_a solemnity_n 2_o chron._n 7.6_o perform_v by_o solomon_n the_o priest_n wait_v on_o their_o office_n the_o levite_n also_o with_o instrument_n of_o music_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o david_n the_o king_n have_v make_v to_o praise_v the_o lord_n because_o his_o mercy_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o the_o priest_n sound_v trumpet_n before_o they_o so_o hezekiah_n set_v the_o levite_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n 27._o with_o cymbal_n with_o psaltery_n and_o harp_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o david_n for_o so_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n now_o david_n have_v excellent_a skill_n in_o divine_a poetry_n and_o solemn_a music_n know_v that_o both_o of_o these_o be_v accommodate_v and_o necessary_a for_o the_o service_n and_o house_n of_o god_n leave_v behind_o he_o many_o psalm_n and_o as_o some_o learned_a divine_n observe_v be_v the_o author_n of_o join_v melody_n to_o poesy_n in_o public_a prayer_n for_o the_o raise_n up_o of_o man_n heart_n to_o attention_n without_o which_o he_o well_o know_v all_o our_o service_n will_v be_v but_o vain_a and_o fruitless_a and_o also_o by_o vocal_a and_o instrumental_a music_n for_o the_o sweeten_v of_o humane_a affection_n towards_o god_n that_o man_n may_v delight_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n so_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n still_o retain_v these_o as_o a_o ornament_n in_o god_n service_n and_o for_o a_o help_n to_o devotion_n 4._o thus_o the_o prophet_n use_v to_o have_v music_n when_o they_o be_v to_o prophesy_v 105._o so_o saul_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o sàmuel_n meet_v a_o company_n of_o prophet_n with_o a_o psaltery_a and_o a_o tabret_n and_o a_o pipe_n and_o a_o harp_n before_o they_o and_o they_o prophesy_v and_o saul_n also_o prophesy_v with_o they_o from_o all_o which_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o music_n where_o it_o can_v be_v convenient_o have_v be_v of_o excellent_a use_n in_o relation_n to_o prophecy_n 1._o and_o other_o part_n of_o god_n service_n public_a or_o private_a now_o music_n be_v either_o instrumental_a vocal_a or_o mix_v of_o both_o concern_v the_o first_o and_o three_o of_o these_o some_o schoolman_n make_v scruple_n 4_o whether_o instrument_n with_o voice_n in_o the_o church_n and_o god_n public_a service_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v lawful_a concern_v vocal_a music_n or_o sing_v psalm_n no_o sober_a christian_n make_v any_o question_n we_o say_v both_o vocal_a and_o instrumental_a be_v here_o respective_o both_o lawful_a and_o convenient_a for_o which_o we_o offer_v these_o follow_a reason_n 1._o music_n whether_o vocal_a or_o mix_v be_v scientia_fw-la benè_fw-la modulandi_fw-la 2._o or_o of_o high_a and_o low_o sound_v a_o due_a proportionable_a
