i_o will_v presume_v that_o although_o he_o have_v read_v some_o author_n who_o write_v for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o use_n of_o organ_n in_o the_o sacred_a assembly_n of_o christian_n yet_o

by_o the_o book_n of_o homily_n and_o herein_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o her_o homily_n agree_v with_o the_o geneva_n annotator_n now_o that_o the_o use_n of_o organ_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v condemn_v by_o the_o homily_n be_v most_o plain_a for_o in_o the_o homily_n of_o the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o prayer_n part_v ii_o there_o be_v this_o objection_n suppose_v to_o be_v make_v by_o one_o who_o care_v not_o to_o frequent_v the_o parish-church_n viz._n alas_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v at_o church_n since_o all_o the_o saint_n be_v take_v away_o since_o all_o the_o goodly_a sight_n we_o be_v wont_a to_o have_v be_v go_v since_o we_o can_v hear_v the_o like_o pipe_v sing_v chant_v and_o play_v upon_o the_o organ_n that_o we_o can_v before_o to_o this_o it_o be_v reply_v but_o dear_o belove_v we_o ought_v great_o to_o rejoice_v and_o give_v god_n thanks_o that_o our_o church_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o displease_v god_n so_o sore_o and_o filthy_o defile_v his_o house_n and_o his_o place_n of_o prayer_n the_o complaint_n of_o the_o person_n who_o refuse_v to_o frequent_v the_o parish_n church_n be_v among_o other_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v no_o play_v on_o the_o organ_n there_o and_o to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o rejoice_v and_o to_o give_v god_n thanks_o that_o the_o church_n be_v deliver_v from_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o displease_v to_o god_n and_o so_o defile_v to_o his_o house_n this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o day_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n namely_o that_o organ_n in_o church_n be_v displease_v to_o god_n and_o filthy_o defile_v to_o his_o house_n so_o that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o author_n church_n the_o use_n of_o organ_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v unlawful_a now_o the_o homily_n and_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o they_o be_v approve_v receive_v and_o establish_v by_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o church_n and_o state_n canon_n of_o convocation_n and_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o late_a bishop_n of_o lincoln_n have_v clear_o prove_v 22._o prove_v dr._n barlow_n case_n

preface_n to_o those_o homily_n and_o article_n 35_o do_v approve_v and_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o homily_n as_o good_a and_o wholesome_a for_o say_v that_o article_n the_o second_o book_n of_o homily_n the_o several_a title_n whereof_o we_o have_v join_v under_o this_o article_n do_v contain_v a_o godly_a and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o necessary_a for_o these_o time_n as_o do_v the_o former_a book_n of_o homily_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o time_n of_o edward_n vi_o and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v to_o be_v read_v in_o church_n by_o the_o minister_n diligent_o and_o distinct_o as_o they_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o people_n whence_o it_o be_v apparent_a the_o church_n approve_v of_o those_o homily_n 1._o as_o contain_v a_o godly_a wholesome_a doctrine_n 2._o as_o to_o the_o read_n of_o they_o in_o the_o church_n so_o that_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o profess_a judgement_n of_o this_o author_n church_n that_o it_o be_v a_o godly_a and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n namely_o that_o organ_n in_o church_n be_v displease_v to_o god_n and_o do_v filthy_o defile_v his_o holy_a house_n our_o author_n have_v subscribe_v these_o article_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o have_v thereby_o approve_v of_o the_o homily_n and_o now_o let_v he_o reconcile_v his_o sermon_n to_o the_o homily_n if_o he_o can_v have_v the_o geneva_n annotator_n say_v but_o as_o much_o as_o do_v the_o homily_n against_o organ_n o_o how_o tragical_o will_v he_o have_v exclaim_v as_o if_o they_o mean_v no_o less_o than_o the_o total_a subversion_n of_o the_o church_n well_o perhaps_o by_o his_o next_o we_o may_v have_v he_o bestow_v the_o epithet_n of_o pernicious_a upon_o the_o homily_n too_o object_n 4._o if_o the_o praise_v of_o god_n with_o organ_n be_v thus_o lawful_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o our_o author_n plead_v then_o will_v it_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v lawful_a to_o introduce_v other_o musical_a instrument_n into_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n such_o as_o harp_n and_o trumpet_n psaltery_n and_o cymbal_n etc._n etc._n and_o other_o rite_n too_o as_o dance_v etc._n etc._n for_o upon_o our_o author_n principle_n these_o be_v lawful_a to_o be_v use_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n also_o and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v lawful_a to_o dress_v up_o the_o christian_a worship_n with_o as_o much_o pomp_n and_o ceremony_n as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o temple_n which_o i_o think_v none_o will_v assert_v who_o due_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o gospel_n worship_n object_n 5._o that_o opinion_n which_o impeache_n christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n of_o want_n of_o wisdom_n in_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n be_v false_a but_o such_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o our_o author_n therefore_o his_o opinion_n be_v absurd_a the_o major_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v unquestionable_a the_o minor_a be_v evident_a from_o the_o author_n of_o the_o sermon_n for_o say_v he_o ●_o ser._n p._n ●_o instrumental_a music_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a mean_n to_o quicken_v our_o heart_n and_o to_o raise_v 〈◊〉_d ●…fections_n and_o to_o make_v we_o the_o more_o devout_a now_o most_o certain_o our_o ●…thor_n impeache_n hereby_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n of_o want_n of_o wisdom_n for_o to_o institute_v a_o less_o proper_a mean_n to_o raise_v affection_n and_o excite_v devotion_n and_o to_o neglect_v the_o most_o proper_a mean_n argue_v a_o want_n of_o wisdom_n but_o according_a to_o he_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v neglect_v to_o appoint_v the_o most_o proper_a mean_n to_o raise_v the_o affection_n and_o excite_v the_o devotion_n of_o christian_n therefore_o in_o effect_n his_o opinion_n charge_v they_o with_o a_o want_n of_o wisdom_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o although_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v institute_v vocal_a music_n yet_o have_v they_o not_o appoint_v instrumental_a for_o the_o raise_v the_o
