A47361 An answer to Mr. Marlow's Appendix Wherein his arguments to prove that singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, was performed in the primitive church by a special or an extraordinary gift, and therefore not to be practised in these days, are examined, and clearly detected. Also some reflections on what he speaks on the word hymnos, hymnos: and on his undue quotations of divers learned men. By a learned hand. By B. Keach. Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704. 1691 (1691) Wing K43A; ESTC R223737 27,870 57

doubtless_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o section_n of_o you_o with_o one_o honest_a and_o plain_a argument_n that_o assertion_n or_o notion_n against_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n that_o have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n in_o it_o to_o overthrow_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o gospel-ordinance_n as_o well_o as_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o

psalm_n hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n because_o we_o have_v not_o that_o special_a or_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o do_v it_o have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n in_o it_o to_o

prayer_n preach_v and_o sing_v also_o must_v we_o not_o pray_v prithee_o nor_o sing_v if_o we_o must_v not_o do_v one_o of_o they_o we_o must_v do_v none_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o in_o opposition_n to_o what_o you_o say_v pag._n 13._o of_o your_o appendix_n if_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o primitive_a church_n do_v not_o bind_v we_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o one_o
