This Collection will be the more useful and it is what I chiefly aim at in it if every one in the Family have a Book so that the Psalm or Hymn for the distinction is but nominal may be sung without reading the Line betwixt which is the general practice of the Reformed Churches abroad and renders the duty more pleasant and profitable and takes up less time and is practicable enough in a Family if not in large Congregations The gathering of Verses out of several Psalms and putting them together may seem to be a violation of their own native coherence But I hope it will not give offence to any since it is no more so than the joyning of several passages of Scriptures remote from each other and putting them together in our Prayers and Sermons which is generally practis'd Besides that it is a liberty which is often taken by the Clarks that give out the Psalms in publick And I think those who dislike it not there will the rather allow it in private Families Nay I am in hâ—pes that the reference I have made all along to the Psalms and Verses will increase and lead to an acquaintance with the Book of Psalms in general which I would not that this Essay should at all lessen or supersede I have made use of the best approved Translations especially Mr. Patrick's and Mr. Barton's as likewise Bishop King's Mr. Smith's Dr. Ford's and Mr. Baxter's who have each of them labour'd well in this Province nor have I neglected the Old Translation which considering the Age in which it was done and that it broke the Ice is not such a contemptible piece us some love to represent it I have taken that out of each which I judg'd the best and most suitable to my purpose acting herein not as a Censor but as a Gleaner Books are known to have their Fate ad captum Lectoris and therefore I hope my pardon for making this use of the Labours of others will be easily granted and this general Acknowledgment will suffice to acquit me from the Charge of Plagiarism I have not varied at any time from my Authors meerly for variation sake yet throughout I have seen cause very often to alter and in many places to build a-new especially where I was willing to contract according to the best of my skill The performance indeed is but very small yet the Design is honest and it will be fruit abounding to a good account if it do but help forward the work of singing Psalms in which the will of God is done on Earth somewhat like as it is done in Heaven where singing Hallelujahs to him that sits upon the Throne and unto the Lamb is both the everlasting work and the everlasting felicity of those glorified Beings M.
