COR VNV● VIA VNA TO THE RIGHT HONOrable Sir VVilliam Cecill Knight Baron of Burghley Lord high Treasorer of England William Swayne wisheth long life and the same to be most healthie and happie RIght Honorable my singuler good Lord there came to my hands of late a booke conteyning all the tunes of the Psalmes as they are ordinarilie soung in the Church composed into foure parts by M. William Damon late one of hir Maiesties seruaunts which booke being found not onely in my poore opinion but in the riper iudgement of some speciall Musicions to be excellentlie sette either to serue for voices or instruments for the great vse that might come thereof and partlie to preserue the labours of the Auctor so worthie and skillfull a man in his profession also to leaue his Religion and pietie herein witnessed that so carefullie and speciallie laboured to aduaunce the vse of singing the Psalmes I was earnestlie dealt with all not to deteyne that as a part of my priuate store in Musicke that of it selfe conteyned matter so worthie publiquelie to enterteyne and to receiue enterteynment Therefore with their perswasions and reasons I was brought to publish them for the vse and comfort of all especially of the godlie And now right honorable my verie good Lord calling to minde the dutie honor and seruice due by mee vnto your good Lordship for the great loue and fauour which I haue alwaies receiued at your L. hands For I acknowledge my selfe to none more bound then to your honor I haue beene the more emboldened to present this simple worke to passe vnder your L. fauour and protection Wishing that the same may chieflie serue to the glorie praise of God And then at your L. pleasure at some times for the recreation of your minde after your worthie and great trauayle from day to day taken in the most weightie affaires of this commonwealth And so I commend your good L. to the mercifull keping of thalmightie God Your good L. most bound during life William Swayne To the Reader HEretofore gentle Reader M.

Damon which not answering thexpectation that many had of the Auctors skill gaue him occasion to take vppon him a new labour to recouer the wrong his friend did in publishing that that was so done as might well please him but was not purposed or framed for the learned eares of our times Therefore at his best leisure fittest times he composed the same tunes againe in so excellent a manner that by comparison of these and the former the Reader may by triall see that the Auctor could not receiue in his Art such a note of disgrace by his friends ouersight before but that now the same is taken away and his worthie knowledge much more graced by this second trauaile Now to acquaynt thee with the Auctors order in this second woorke he hath for varietie gone through the Psalmes twice which are now deuided into two Setts whereof in the former the ordinarie singing part is caried in the Tenor In the second set it is conueyed in the highest part Herein ther is required of the Reader if he be a louer of Musick that he would accept of their labour that haue taken paines in publishing exactlie a worke of such singuler skill and speciall vse for them that after the serious labour of their calling are desirous rather to recreate them selues in singing of Psalmes then in other exercises of lesse comfort and euill marke William Swayne Veni Creator COme ho ly Ghost eternall God eter nall God proceeding from aboue ij both frō y e father the Sonne y e God of peace loue visite our minds into vs into vs thy heauenly grace inspire ij That in all truth godlines godlines we may haue true desire we may haue true desire The humble sute of a sinner O Lord of whome I do depend behold my carefull hart and when thy will and pleasure is release me of my smart Thou seest my sorrowes what they are my grife is knowen to thee and there is none that can remoue or take the same from mee Te Deum WE praise the God we knowledge thee the onely Lord to be And as eternall Father all the earth doth worship thee To thee all Angells cry the heauens and all the powers therein To the Cherub and Seraphin and Seraphin to cry they do not linne to cry they do not linne The song of the three Children O All ye workes of God the Lord O all ye workes of God the Lord blesse ye the Lord blesse ye the Lord prayse him and magnifie him for euer for euer Benedictus THe onely Lord of Israell of Israell be praysed euermore For through his vi si ta ti on and mercy kept in store his people now he hath redeemd he hath redeemd that long hath beene in thrall and spread abroad his sauing health and spread abroad his sauing health vpon his seruants all his seruants all Magnificat MY soule doth magnifie the Lord doth magnifie the Lord my sprite eke euermore reioyceth in the Lord my God the Lord my God which is my sauiour my sauiour And why because he did regard and gaue respect vnto respect vnto so base estate of his handmaid of his handmaid and let the mightie goe and let the mightie goe Nune dimittis O Lord because my hartes desire hath wished long to see My onely Lord and Sauior thy sonne before I dye the ioy and health of all mankind desired long before which now is come in to the world of mercy bringing store Quicunque vult WHat man soeuer he be that saluation will attaine The catholike beliefe he must beliefe he must before all things re taine Which Faith vnlesse he holy keepe he holy keep vndefiledly defiledly Without all doubt eternally eternally he shal be sure to dye he shall be sure to dye The Lamentation of a sinner O Lord turne not away thy face turne not away thy face from him that lyeth prostrate that lieth prostrate Lamenting sore his sinful lyfe his sinfull lyfe before thy mercy gate Which gate thou openest wide to those thou openest wide to
