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

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

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

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

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
