entitle_v they_o by_o such_o name_n how_o then_o can_v you_o say_v that_o to_o sing_v the_o prophecy_n of_o david_n do_v not_o yet_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o worship_n of_o god_n command_v or_o teach_v

the_o child_n of_o israel_n while_o the_o temple_n be_v stand_v and_o be_v it_o credible_a the_o psalm_n be_v confine_v to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o temple_n where_o they_o can_v not_o sing_v it_o but_o with_o a_o sad_a reproof_n to_o themselves_o for_o their_o discord_n in_o practice_n and_o yet_o forbid_v to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o in_o some_o

sing_v some_o of_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n and_o asaph_n in_o the_o temple-worship_n but_o this_o do_v no_o more_o argue_v that_o the_o whole_a service_n of_o god_n in_o sing_v david_n psalm_n be_v typical_a or_o rudimental_a than_o it_o will_v argue_v prayer_n to_o be_v a_o typical_a and_o temple_n worship_n because_o prayer_n in_o the_o temple_n be_v offer_v with_o incense_n and_o so_o with_o the_o temple_n and_o with_o the_o incense_n to_o be_v abolish_v he_o that_o will_v make_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n as_o they_o be_v song_n to_o be_v type_n of_o the_o spiritual_a song_n of_o the_o

as_o it_o have_v be_v show_v above_o that_o sing_v of_o psalm_n with_o lively_a voice_n be_v not_o a_o ceremonial_a but_o a_o moral_a duty_n and_o so_o continue_v now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o

church_n now_o yea_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o the_o psalm_n compile_v by_o the_o devout_a christian_n now_o will_v fall_v short_a of_o those_o of_o david_n and_o asaph_n in_o spirit_n and_o life_n how_o then_o can_v we_o make_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n and_o asaph_n ceremonial_a type_n of_o the_o spiritual_a song_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o as_o type_n
