100.1_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n unto_o the_o lord_n all_o you_o land_n and_o vers._n 2._o come_v before_o his_o presence_n with_o sing_v all_o you_o land_n imply_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o

than_o such_o a_o loud_a noise_n as_o be_v make_v in_o david_n day_n with_o ten_o string_a instrument_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v praise_v i_o do_v acknowledge_v from_o these_o text_n that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o those_o who_o be_v call_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n when_o they_o do_v come_v before_o the_o lord_n not_o to_o come_v before_o he_o with_o

the_o psalm_n speak_v nothing_o to_o it_o answ._n the_o manner_n of_o noise_n which_o be_v make_v by_o sing_v in_o our_o assembly_n it_o pertain_v not_o to_o the_o present_a question_n in_o hand_n

and_o people_n of_o god_n in_o all_o land_n to_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n unto_o the_o lord_n to_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n unto_o he_o with_o psalm_n to_o come_v before_o his_o presence_n with_o sing_v psal._n 100.1_o 2._o and_o psal._n 95.1_o 2._o yea_o but_o this_o bind_v we_o no_o more_o to_o make_v such_o a_o manner_n of_o loud_a noise_n as_o our_o form_n of_o sing_v be_v then_o to_o make_v such_o a_o loud_a noise_n as_o be_v make_v in_o david_n day_n with_o ten_o string_a instrument_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v praise_v answ._n so_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o be_v praise_v praise_v with_o ten_o string_a instrument_n when_o be_v he_o so_o to_o be_v praise_v in_o david_n day_n true_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o the_o people_n in_o any_o

here_o be_v now_o no_o mention_n of_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n with_o instrument_n but_o with_o psalm_n and_o therefore_o the_o make_v a_o joyful_a noise_n with_o psalm_n do_v still_o continue_v
