B04473	A clear confutation of Mr. Richard Allen, and his five commendators, from their own confessions, collected out of the vindication of his essay, and fairly improv'd against them, to the overthrow of their conjoined singing in artificial tunes in gospel-worship. To which is added, an answer to Mr. William Collins's defence from the charge exhibited against him in my book, entituled, The controversie of singing brought to an end, &c.

his_o essay_n leave_v out_o in_o cite_v that_o verse_n to_o make_v it_o look_v like_a hebrew_n rhyme_n and_o metre_n say_v he_o i_o do_v not_o omit_v they_o on_o purpose_n to_o make_v it_o rhyme_n be_v plain_a in_o that_o instead_o of_o four_o line_n a_o rhyme_n as_o i_o have_v there_o set_v it_o down_o there_o be_v six_o if_o those_o word_n be_v put_v in_o to_o which_o i_o brief_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o demonstrate_v this_o to_o be_v a_o cheat_n from_o mr._n allens_n own_o word_n for_o see_v he_o make_v the_o three_o hebrew_n word_n leave_v out_o before_o now_o into_o one_o line_n or_o verse_n by_o themselves_o for_o the_o second_o line_n of_o his_o six_o and_o cut_v off_o the_o word_n haleluia_o from_o the_o first_o line_n that_o be_v of_o his_o four_o line_n before_o to_o make_v it_o by_o itself_o the_o first_o line_n of_o his_o six_o line_n now_o then_o either_o his_o five_o line_n that_o he_o make_v but_o four_o line_n before_o or_o the_o four_o line_n must_v be_v a_o wrong_n to_o the_o rhyme_n and_o metre_n as_o he_o cite_v they_o for_o in_o the_o sacred_a text_n for_o if_o it_o be_v as_o he_o say_v rhyme_n and_o metre_n in_o the_o hebrew_n bible_n it_o must_v be_v so_o as_o we_o find_v it_o there_o without_o alteration_n and_o therefore_o for_o he_o to_o make_v four_o line_n of_o verse_n in_o rhyme_n in_o one_o book_n and_o five_o line_n of_o verse_n in_o rhyme_n in_o another_o book_n of_o the_o same_o matter_n be_v such_o a_o alteration_n that_o render_v it_o a_o plain_a cheat_n either_o in_o his_o four_o line_n or_o in_o his_o five_o line_n of_o verse_n and_o by_o this_o one_o instance_n the_o unlearned_a reader_n may_v easy_o guess_v at_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o hebrew_a rhyme_v especial_o consider_v he_o do_v not_o tie_v it_o to_o any_o equal_a order_n of_o metre_n and_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o it_o must_v be_v because_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n nor_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n and_o deborah_n and_o barak_n be_v not_o in_o rhyme_n in_o the_o hebrew_n bible_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o last_o treatise_n from_o the_o testimony_n of_o several_a jew_n learn_v in_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n second_o have_v hitherto_o be_v remove_v those_o exception_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o take_v some_o notice_n of_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o confutation_n of_o mr._n allen_n practice_v of_o sing_v from_o his_o own_o confession_n and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o i_o shall_v here_o premise_v that_o those_o five_o commendator_n of_o mr._n allen_n vindication_n of_o his_o essay_n viz._n joseph_n master_n william_n collins_n joseph_n stennet_n john_n piggot_n and_o thomas_n harrison_n do_v in_o their_o epistle_n say_v though_o the_o author_n of_o the_o animadversion_n on_o mr._n allens_n essay_n have_v think_v meet_a to_o let_v fly_v at_o we_o who_o subscribe_v a_o preface_n to_o that_o treatise_n for_o no_o other_o crime_n than_o that_o of_o commend_v the_o subject_a of_o it_o to_o the_o reader_n and_o of_o give_v our_o opinion_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o its_o author_n to_o speak_v for_o himself_o on_o that_o argument_n with_o out_o need_v our_o recommendation_n we_o be_v neither_o afraid_a nor_o ashamed_a to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o we_o have_v yet_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o retract_v our_o word_n and_o we_o dare_v venture_v to_o say_v as_o much_o of_o this_o reply_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o these_o word_n viz._n for_o no_o other_o crime_n than_o that_o of_o give_v our_o opinion_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o its_o author_n to_o speak_v for_o himself_o although_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o dr._n russel_n let_v fly_n at_o they_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o have_v in_o that_o manner_n express_v himself_o in_o any_o part_n of_o his_o book_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o those_o word_n be_v the_o five_o commendator_n own_o expression_n as_o it_o be_v further_o confirm_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v viz._n we_o be_v neither_o afraid_a nor_o ashamed_a to_o let_v the_o world_n know_v that_o we_o have_v yet_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o retract_v our_o word_n for_o these_o expression_n relate_v to_o the_o foregoing_a word_n imply_v a_o assertion_n of_o they_o to_o be_v their_o own_o viz._n that_o they_o give_v their_o opinion_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o its_o author_n i._n e._n of_o the_o essay_n to_o speak_v for_o himself_o so_o that_o it_o sollow_v 2._o that_o in_o these_o word_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a five_o commendator_n there_o be_v a_o false_a insinuation_n for_o they_o not_o only_o implicit_o say_v that_o they_o commend_v the_o subject_a of_o that_o essay_n but_o that_o they_o give_v their_o opinion_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o its_o author_n to_o speak_v for_o himself_o on_o that_o argument_n without_o need_v their_o recommendation_n which_o how_o true_a this_o be_v the_o reader_n may_v judge_v from_o their_o own_o word_n in_o their_o former_a preface_n to_o mr._n allen_n essay_n where_o they_o
