to_o disparage_v it_o god_n have_v give_v i_o a_o tongue_n say_v the_o wise_a man_n and_o i_o will_v praise_v he_o therewith_o and_o if_o a_o eloquent_a tongue_n owe_v this_o tribute_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o praise_v he_o with_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o musical_a heart_n which_o be_v a_o noble_a faculty_n and_o more_o proper_a to_o praise_v he_o with_o i_o

of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o church_n be_v something_o of_o latter_a date_n and_o so_o be_v the_o use_n of_o appropriate_v church_n too_o and_o there_o be_v too_o melancholy_a a_o reason_n for_o they_o both_o but_o certain_o that_o which_o be_v always_o expedient_a and_o sometime_o command_v but_o never_o forbid_v though_o intermit_v a_o while_n by_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o time_n can_v never_o be_v think_v unlawful_a the_o only_a argument_n against_o it_o be_v that_o those_o instrument_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o use_v of_o religion_n because_o they_o be_v the_o common_a entertainment_n at_o our_o feast_n and_o in_o this_o case_n our_o adversary_n be_v willing_a to_o allow_v that_o what_o be_v common_a be_v profane_a but_o be_v not_o our_o feast_n consistent_a with_o our_o religion_n if_o they_o be_v not_o in_o god_n name_n let_v we_o not_o curtail_v our_o religion_n but_o forbear_v our_o feast_n but_o if_o they_o be_v why_o be_v not_o the_o music_n consistent_a too_o or_o why_o be_v it_o more_o indecent_a to_o use_v the_o same_o instrument_n than_o it_o be_v to_o wear_v the_o same_o apparel_n in_o the_o church_n as_o in_o the_o dining-room_n however_o this_o be_v a_o very_a improper_a objection_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o those_o that_o make_v it_o who_o according_a as_o their_o occasion_n serve_v use_v the_o same_o place_n promiscuous_o sometime_o for_o a_o dining-room_n and_o sometime_o for_o a_o church_n the_o wise_a son_n of_o sirach_n compare_v the_o memory_n of_o a_o godly_a king_n to_o music_n at_o a_o banquet_n of_o wine_n a_o most_o lively_a elegant_a expression_n and_o yet_o the_o comparison_n be_v both_o impious_a and_o absurd_a unless_o we_o allow_v that_o a_o banquet_n of_o wine_n may_v be_v a_o very_a godly_a institution_n and_o if_o so_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v to_o profane_v that_o music_n which_o be_v introduce_v only_o to_o make_v it_o more_o solemn_a and_o more_o godly_a still_o but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o such_o argument_n as_o these_o do_v gain_v credit_n in_o such_o a_o age_n of_o discord_n as_o this_o in_o which_o we_o live_v when_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v set_v in_o a_o direct_a antipathy_n to_o one_o another_o and_o no_o reason_n can_v make_v they_o close_o but_o yet_o music_n one_o will_v think_v may_v reconcile_v they_o if_o they_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v their_o heart_n will_v be_v affect_v too_o and_o they_o can_v no_o long_o hold_v out_o in_o this_o harsh_a this_o jar_a ungrateful_a distance_n but_o will_v fall_v in_o with_o the_o general_a tone_n and_o join_v in_o a_o friendly_a consort_n with_o their_o brethren_n the_o power_n of_o music_n have_v do_v a_o great_a miracle_n than_o this_o when_o nothing_o else_o can_v do_v it_o when_o the_o lacedaemonian_n the_o austere_a obstinate_v man_n alive_a be_v divide_v among_o themselves_o and_o those_o division_n grow_v up_o into_o civil_a war_n the_o wise_a oracle_n to_o compose_v

will_v soon_o be_v do_v can_v we_o but_o persuade_v man_n to_o the_o experiment_n they_o will_v certain_o work_v the_o cure_n but_o i_o be_o sensible_a that_o it_o be_v loss_n of_o time_n for_o i_o to_o speak_v long_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o music_n which_o when_o i_o have_v do_v will_v speak_v much_o better_a for_o itself_o will_v convince_v those_o who_o i_o can_v hardly_o persuade_v and_o give_v you_o a_o sensible_a demonstration_n of_o those_o truth_n whereof_o i_o can_v only_o offer_v you_o some_o slender_a proof_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o we_o must_v compose_v ourselves_o to_o hear_v it_o with_o heavenly_a abstract_a devote_a mind_n for_o there_o be_v something_o in_o religious_a music_n so_o divine_a something_o so_o like_o

entertainment_n of_o the_o saint_n if_o then_o we_o hope_v to_o join_v in_o consort_n with_o they_o at_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n here_o we_o must_v begin_v to_o practice_n at_o his_o footstool_n here_o we_o must_v tune_v our_o soul_n and_o make_v they_o fit_a instrument_n for_o the_o praise_n of_o our_o maker_n here_o we_o must_v learn_v the_o ground_n of_o that_o divine_a music_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v but_o make_v discord_n in_o heaven_n itself_o and_o must_v be_v send_v away_o to_o another_o place_n where_o instead_o of_o joy_n and_o gladness_n and_o a_o song_n there_o be_v nothing_o
