A48172	A Letter to a friend in the country concerning the use of instrumental musick in the worship of God in answer to Mr. Newte's sermon preach'd at Tiverton in Devon on the occasion of an organ being erected in that parish-church.	Newte, John, 1655?-1716. Lawfulness and use of organs in the Christian Church.	1698 (1698)	Wing L1650; ESTC R24003	96,894	98

to_o use_v they_o for_o they_o under_o the_o moysaicall_a oeconomy_n have_v a_o express_a command_n for_o the_o use_n of_o they_o and_o if_o that_o command_n be_v not_o vacate_v but_o continue_v in_o

it_o then_o a_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n if_o so_o than_o the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v a_o moral_a duty_n and_o so_o not_o bare_o lawful_a but_o the_o law_n command_v the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o judicial_a or_o moral_a precept_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v be_v a_o

the_o trumpet_n be_v of_o a_o sacred_a use_n and_o see_v they_o be_v appoint_v by_o moses_n law_n for_o such_o a_o use_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o trumpet_n and_o so_o musical_a instrument_n be_v part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n therefore_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o our_o author_n shall_v assert_v 33._o ser._n p._n 33._o that_o instrument_n of_o music_n be_v not_o appoint_v in_o divine_a service_n in_o moses_n be_v time_n what!_o be_v not_o the_o oblation_n of_o sacrifice_n divine_a service_n and_o be_v not_o the_o trumpet_n to_o be_v sound_v in_o that_o service_n but_o add_v he_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o they_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o david_n in_o his_o most_o flourish_a state_n true_o indeed_o by_o order_n from_o god_n david_n add_v more_o musical_a

and_o may_v be_v far_o show_v ere_o i_o conclude_v but_o to_o improve_v this_o he_o thus_o argue_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v of_o david_n be_v institution_n can_v not_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n i_o deny_v that_o assertion_n for_o although_o instrumental_a music_n be_v by_o order_n from_o god_n appoint_v by_o david_n yet_o may_v it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o here_o again_o i_o will_v demand_v to_o know_v if_o instrumental_a music_n be_v command_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n by_o a_o law_n by_o what_o law_n it_o be_v enjoin_v not_o by_o the_o moral_a nor_o judicial_a law_n therefore_o by_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o therefore_o still_o to_o use_v our_o author_n phrase_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o instrumental_a music_n can_v not_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n because_o of_o david_n institution_n why_o thus_o because_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v complete_v before_o by_o moses_n in_o those_o word_n deut._n 12.32_o what_o thing_n soever_o i_o command_v you_o observe_v to_o do_v it_o thou_o shall_v not_o add_v thereto_o nor_o diminish_v from_o it_o but_o 1._o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v complete_v before_o by_o moses_n so_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o addition_n afterward_o make_v to_o it_o be_v i_o conceive_v a_o mistake_n for_o

and_o if_o possible_a remove_v the_o prejudices_fw-la which_o the_o adversary_n of_o church-music_n have_v against_o this_o practice_n it_o be_v high_o requisite_a indeed_o that_o this_o be_v do_v

annotation_n must_v have_v the_o epithet_n of_o pernicious_a give_v they_o because_o they_o thus_o object_v against_o his_o organ_n a_o few_o word_n to_o this_o 1._o some_o man_n i_o observe_v have_v

for_o once_o to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o geneva_n annotation_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o bible_n in_o many_o place_n be_v this_o argument_n enough_o for_o the_o stiff_v they_o
