〈◊〉 Hymns 〈◊〉 of Mr. Herbert's Temple And Turn'd into the into the Common Metre TO BE SUNG IN THE TUNES Ordinarily us'd in Churches London Printed by S. Bridge for Thomas Parkhurst at the Bible and Three-Crowns at the Lower End of Churchside near Mercers Chappel 1697. THE PREFACE MR. Herbert 's Poems have met with so general and deserv'd Acceptance that they have undergone Eleven Impressions near Twenty Years ago He hath obtain'd by way of Eminency the Name of Our Divine Poet and his Verses have been frequently quoted in Sermons and other Discourses yet I fear few of them have been Sung since his Death the Times not being at the Command of ordinary Readers This attempt therefore such as it is is to bring so many of them as I well could which I judg'd suited to the Capacity and Devotion of Private Christians into the Common Metre to be Sung in their Closets or Families The like I have done as to some of the New Testament Hymns in Dr. Woodford's Paraphrase To all which I have added one Ode in the same Measures in which I had it because I think it was never Printed and I thought it Pity it should be lost in a Private Hand I hope I shall not be counted a Plagiary seeing I claim nothing here as my own but what they allow me viz. a Liberty to Sing and use their Hymns which I was no more able to do in their Metre and Tunes than I was able to compose them as they did Nor will this hinder their use of the Lyrick Measures in Herbert and others who are enabled to do it by their skill in Musick which they ought to look upon as a Talent to be accounted for How much more fit is Herbert's Temple to be set to the Lute than Cowley's Mistress It is hard that no one can be taught Musick but in such wanton Songs as fill the Hearts of many Learners with Lust and Vanity all their Days Why should it be thought a greater Prophaning of Spiritual Songs to use them in a Musick-Scool than it is of the New Testament to teach Children to spell yet what Christian would not rather have his Child taught to read in a Bible than in a Play-Book Especially when they who learn Musick are generally more apt to receive Impressions from the Matter of the Song than Children are from the Books in which they first learn to Spell My attempt hath been easie only to alter the measures of some Hymns keeping strictly to the Sence of the Author But how noble an undertaking were it if any one could and would rescue the high flights and lofty strains found in the most Celebrated Poets from their sacrilegious Applications to Carnal Love and restore them to the Divine Love When the Devil drew off the Nations from the True God He caus'd the same Institutions with which God was honoured to be used in the Idol Service Temple Priests Sacrifices c. and amongst the rest Psalmody And it is strange that when we have so long been emerg'd out of Heathenism that such a Remnant of it should be amongst us wherein the most devotional Part of Religion doth consist Almost all Phrases and Expressions of Worship due only to God are continu'd in these artificial Composures in the Heathenish use of them even from the Inspirations that they invoke in their beginning to the Raptures Flames Adorations c. That they pretend to in the Progress Nor are these meer empty Names with them but their Hearts are more fervently carried out in the musical use of them than they would be if their Knees were bow'd to Baal and Astaroth Few Holy Souls are more affected with the Praises of a Redeemer than they are of the wanton Object that they profess to adore Oh for some to write Parodies by which Name I find one Poem in Herbert call'd which begins Souls Joy where art thou ●one and was I doubt not a light Love-song turn'd into a Spiritual Hymn 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Est quum alterius Poetae Versus in aliud Argumentum transferuntur I do not find it hath been made a Matter of scruple to turn the Temples built for Idols into Churches And as to this Case it is to be consider'd that the Musick and Poetry was an excellent Gift of God which ought to have been us'd for Him and that their high strains of Love Ioy c. Suit none but the adorable Saviour and all their most warm and affecting Expressions are stollen from the Churches Adoration of Christ and who can doubt but the Church may take her own whereever she finds it whether in an Idolatrous Mass-Book or Prophane Love-song It was a noble Resolution of him that said I 'll Consecrate my Magdalene to Thee The Eyes Mouth Hair which had been abus'd to Lust and Vanity were us'd to Wash Kiss Wipe the Feet of a Saviour May Men and Angels Praise him for ever and ever Amen Books Printed for Tho.

The Thanksgiving To the Tune of Psalm 100. O King of Griefs a Title true Though strange and to Thee only due How can I grieve enough for Thee Who in all grief preventest me Shall I weep Blood Thou 'st wept such store That all thy Body was one Gore Shall I be scourged flouted sold 'T is but to tell the Tale is told Shall I then skip the doleful Story And side with thy Triumphant Glory Shall wounds be Health Thy Thorns my Flower Thy Rod my Posie Cross my Bower How shall I imitate Thee and Copy thy Fair though Bloody Hand Can I pretend to reach thy Love Or try who should Victorious
