A34903	An answer to a late book intituled, A discourse concerning the inventions of men in the worship of God, by William, Lord Bishop of Derry wherein the author's arguments against the manner of publick worship performed by Protestant dissenters are examined and by plain Scripture and reason confuted, his mistakes as to matters of fact detected, and some important truths concerning the spirit of prayer and external adoration, &c. vindicated / by Robert Craghead ...

the_o church_n in_o our_o saviour_n or_o the_o apostle_n time_n do_v sing_v any_o thing_n in_o verse_n but_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o sing_v hymn_n in_o prose_n so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o certain_a

of_o sing_v in_o a_o most_o unnatural_a harsh_a rustic_a manner_n whereas_o we_o be_v all_o provide_v with_o a_o more_o decent_a melodious_a manner_n of_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n but_o he_o say_v god_n have_v recommend_v to_o we_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n in_o prose_n ans_fw-fr god_n recommend_v to_o we_o the_o sing_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n which_o at_o god_n direction_n be_v in_o

hebrew_n that_o be_v their_o language_n the_o author_n confess_v the_o hebrew_n psalm_n be_v poetical_a but_o not_o verse_n or_o metre_n ans_fw-fr this_o be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o as_o much_o

that_o i_o think_v neither_o worth_n his_o form_n nor_o my_o answer_v viz._n that_o some_o may_v fancy_v verse_n be_v not_o in_o use_n in_o these_o country_n and_o therefore_o they_o sing_v in_o

prose_n which_o we_o deny_v but_o 2_o if_o poesy_n and_o music_n be_v so_o much_o in_o fashion_n they_o have_v be_v the_o more_o to_o blame_v if_o they_o reject_v a_o decent_a and_o practise_v a_o indecent_a and_o unnatural_a way_n of_o sing_v and_o the_o next_o be_v no_o better_o viz_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v think_v verse_n necessary_a he_o will_v have_v inspire_v some_o holy-man_n to_o translate_v the_o psalm_n into_o verse_n ans_fw-fr there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o extraordinary_a inspiration_n when_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o its_o improvement_n by_o industry_n can_v reach_v the_o end_n therefore_o this_o argument_n be_v not_o cogent_n and_o his_o next_o objection_n be_v worse_a viz._n that_o the_o prophet_n of_o the_o heathen_a write_v their_o prophecy_n in_o verse_n to_o their_o god_n we_o know_v not_o but_o this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n think_v fit_a that_o such_o as_o be_v inspire_v by_o he_o shall_v decline_v that_o way_n ans_fw-fr he_o say_v we_o know_v not_o and_o may_v be_v but_o be_v these_o argument_n to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v any_o man_n answer_n may_v be_v yet_o 2_o he_o may_v be_v be_v too_o far_o especial_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v already_o direct_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n to_o be_v musical_a and_o next_o because_o this_o be_v a_o unwarrantable_a encroachment_n upon_o the_o reason_n

in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n so_o they_o encourage_v we_o to_o offer_v these_o praise_n by_o way_n of_o response_n or_o answer_v for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o best_a example_n can_v be_v desire_v

whatever_o be_v their_o manner_n of_o worship_n and_o adoration_n it_o can_v be_v no_o pattern_n to_o we_o because_o first_o there_o be_v no_o temple_n there_o rev_n 21._o 22._o i_o see_v no_o
