sacred_a genius_n of_o the_o royal_a prophet_n and_o certain_o such_o a_o spirit_n of_o piety_n and_o admirable_a variety_n of_o pathetic_a devotion_n run_v through_o the_o body_n of_o these_o psalm_n that_o though_o they_o be_v not_o hallow_a by_o a_o solemn_a dedication_n to_o the_o use_n and_o service_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o will_v they_o demand_v a_o very_a religious_a veneration_n from_o we_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o abundant_a matter_n which_o they_o plentiful_o supply_v for_o all_o the_o exigence_n and_o occasion_n of_o a_o family_n or_o a_o closet_n devotion_n however_o as_o the_o best_a of_o man_n be_v not_o free_a from_o obloquy_n and_o aspersion_n so_o neither_o be_v the_o best_a performance_n exempt_v from_o cavil_n and_o objection_n and_o therefore_o

yet_o still_o there_o be_v some_o few_o scruple_n raise_v against_o it_o which_o i_o intend_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o consider_v first_o they_o say_v these_o new_a psalm_n be_v too_o poetical_a and_o yet_o i_o be_o certain_a that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v more_o poetical_a than_o the_o original_a or_o have_v bold_a expression_n or_o more_o lofty_a and_o exalt_a metaphor_n or_o more_o

have_v ingratiate_v itself_o so_o much_o with_o the_o reformation_n not_o only_o here_o in_o england_n but_o in_o france_n as_o that_o the_o french_a king_n jealous_a of_o that_o piety_n and_o

to_o the_o church_n from_o it_o have_v be_v i_o confess_v considerable_a but_o since_o the_o numerous_a defect_n of_o it_o be_v now_o grow_v so_o obvious_a that_o they_o be_v discover_v by_o every_o weak_a eye_n and_o dislike_v by_o the_o most_o common_a judgement_n since_o the_o most_o ordinary_a capacity_n can_v discern_v they_o and_o the_o vulgar_a themselves_o have_v now_o find_v out_o the_o meanness_n of_o the_o expression_n and_o convert_v they_o into_o proverb_n of_o contempt_n to_o our_o service_n methinks_v we_o shall_v scarce_o be_v so_o tenacious_a of_o they_o be_v we_o true_o tender_v of_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o church_n and_o consider_v with_o what_o singular_a veneration_n and_o profound_a respect_n the_o awful_a majesty_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v be_v approach_v for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o reverend_n dr._n burnet_n now_o lord_n bishop_n of_o salisbury_n speak_v of_o the_o old_a version_n give_v it_o this_o character_n in_o his_o

pass_v for_o a_o tolerable_a composure_n have_v not_o be_v since_o that_o time_n so_o review_v or_o change_v as_o perhaps_o the_o thing_n require_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o this_o part_n of_o divine_a

agree_v with_o his_o brethren_n the_o reverend_a bishop_n that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o new_a and_o better_a version_n in_o order_n to_o rescue_v that_o part_n of_o divine_a service_n from_o that_o contempt_n which_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o this_o learned_a prelate_n it_o then_o lay_v under_o from_o hence_o likewise_o it_o be_v that_o several_a ingenious_a person_n who_o be_v
