that_o many_o hold_v vocal_a music_n to_o be_v sweet_a than_o instrumental_a yet_o i_o think_v no_o competent_a judge_n will_v deny_v that_o a_o consort_n of_o vocal_a and_o instrumental_a together_o be_v sweet_a than_o either_o alone_a in_o large_a parochical_a congregation_n this_o may_v easy_o be_v discern_v because_o a_o organ_n very_o much_o hide_v and_o cover_v the_o harshness_n of_o many_o

upon_o their_o mind_n as_o to_o raise_v their_o soul_n to_o a_o great_a pitch_n of_o piety_n and_o beside_o the_o rage_n of_o persecution_n which_o at_o first_o prevail_v and_o hold_v on_o after_o miraculous_a gift_n be_v discontinue_v as_o it_o render_v their_o state_n improper_a to_o admit_v such_o ornamental_a help_n as_o this_o more_o suitable_a to_o the_o prosperous_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v enough_o to_o secure_v they_o from_o blame_v herein_o in_o regard_n the_o use_n of_o instrument_n be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a so_o do_v it_o most_o sure_o affect_v their_o

a_o far_a answer_n hereunto_o since_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o organical_a music_n be_v not_o introduce_v among_o the_o jew_n till_o david_n time_n several_a hundred_o of_o year_n after_o their_o sectlement_n in_o canaan_n it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o well_o that_o the_o jew_n before_o david_n time_n do_v not_o worship_n god_n in_o so_o exalt_v a_o manner_n as_o they_o do_v after_o and_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v blame_v and_o whatsoever_o answer_n may_v be_v give_v to_o this_o will_v serve_v in_o our_o case_n but_o it_o be_v urge_v the_o primitive_a christian_n think_v the_o use_n of_o
