A15659	The songs of the Old Testament translated into English measures, preseruing the naturall phrase and genuine sense of the holy text: and with as little circumlocution as in most prose translations. To euery song is added a new and easie tune, and a short prologue also, deliuering the effect and vse thereof, for this profit of vnlearned readers. By George Wither. Cum priuilegio permissu superiorum.	Wither, George, 1588-1667.	1621 (1621)	STC 25923; ESTC S120880	31,876	85

that_o be_v most_o bind_v to_o celebrate_v god_n praise_n and_o vow_v this_o deliverance_n to_o everlasting_a memory_n by_o our_o private_a meditation_n we_o may_v use_v this_o for_o a_o song_n of_o

so_o extreme_o deject_a if_o he_o have_v apprehend_v nothing_o more_o fearful_a than_o his_o present_a sickness_n with_o the_o natural_a separation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n or_o that_o it_o
