A Banquetting-House Full of Spiritual Delights OR Hymns and Spiritual Songs On several Occasions CENTURY I. By Elias Keach Minister of the Gospel EPHES. 5.19 Speaking to your selves in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs Singing and making Melody in your Hearts to the Lord. LONDON Printed by Benja Harris for the AUTHOR 1696. THE Epistle Dedicatory To the Sheep and Lambs of Christ Meeting at Curriers-Hall Lonon over whom I am an Vnworthy under Shepherd and to the Subscribers of this small Piece Much Endeared and intirely Beloved IT is necessary I say something upon this occasion tho' not much for a long Epistle will not become this short Tract and Dedications of late Years have been much abused to a vain Flattery tho' of Antient Vse and may be of no small Profit and seeing we find this Custom approv'd by the practice of one of the Pen-men of Holy Writ St. Luke in his Gosepl and the Acts it is less to be disparaged And I am the more encouraged I have three Reasons for the publishing of these Hymns besides your Importunity viz. 1. That by a frequent perusal of them you may be helpt to recover the Fragments of divers Discourses which have slipt your Memory and so be of no small use to you in your retired Meditations on Divine things 2. That you may have such Hymns and Spiritual Songs by you for your publick use in your Families that are most agreeable to your Principles and nearest your Affections containing also variety of Matter 3. For the better and more orderly performance of this part of divine Worship in the publick Assembly for by premeditation you will be capable conjointly to sing with more Judgment and Vnderstanding and make the sweeter Harmony in the Ears of the God of Order I have not used neither do I pretend to Rhetorical Flourishes and Guilded Flights but have accommodated my self to your Temper and Capacity even the meanest and weakest among you and it is observable that the profoundest Prophets accommodated themselves to their Hearers or Readers Capacities as of Fishes to the Egyptians droves of Cattle to the Arabians Trade and Traffick to the Tyrians So our dear Redeemer tells his Fishermen That they shall be Fishers of Men and after he had express'd himself in plain Parables to the People as if the Essential Word had been at a loss for a fit Word familiar plain and low enough for our dull and shallow Apprehensions Whereunto saith he shall we liken the Kingdom of Heaven c. And the Evangelists for their Hearers sakes spake Vulgarly many times Beloved many among us tip their Tongues and store their Heads some for shew and some for delight but Ministers above all men have their Talents in trust that therewith they may save themselves and those that hear them they must condescend to the Capacities of their Hearers and stoop to the Apprehensions of the meanest and become all things to all Men in St. Paul's Sense that they may win some 'T was a saying of a Learned Bishop Lord send me Learning enough that I may Preach plain enough And if I had used a higher Style it may be many of you could not have sung with that Vnderstanding that is required A plain Preacher and Author suits best a plain Hearer and Reader and I design'd these Hymns only for your Vse not for any others either Learned or Vnlearned and if you kindly accept and make use of them I have attain'd my End And as for Carpers and Censurers I value them at the same rate as they do this Piece I thought to have said something to the Argument of Singing but Mr. Richard Allen in his Book lately Published called An Essay to prove singing of PSALMS with conjoined Voices a Christian Duty Hath cleared this blessed Truth so effectually in a few Leaves unto which Book I refer such as want further Satisfaction that I cannot in the least degree pretend to Mend it and therefore shall not touch it being also confin'd to too little room Brethren the things contain'd in this Piece will be far better understood and spoken of in Heaven by the Glorious Noon-day Divinity in which the immeadiately Illuminated Assembly do there Sing Jehovah's Praise than by such a stammering Tongue and scribling Pen as mine which doth but marr them there we shall not only be of one Judgment in this point of Singing but well-skill'd and unanimous in the practice of it Alass I write my Lord's Praises but by Moon-light I cannot Praise him so much as by halves The excelling Glory of Christ dazzles all Apprehensions swallows up all Expressions he 's altogether Love and Lovely What Tongue belonging to a renewed Person can be silent while his Praises are tuning When we have worn our Tongues to the stumps in ascribing Praises to him alass we have done nothing when all is done But to Conclude I hope your Candor will overlook the Faults and Slips either of the Author's Pen or the Printer's Press and my hearty Prayer to Jehovah is that in the main it may tend to the Comfort and Profit of your never-dying Souls that you may be the better fitted and prepared to Sing his Eternal Praise in the Mansions of Glory above in the Company of glorious Angels the Seraphims and Cherubims of God And the God of Peace that brought again from the Dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the Sheep through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant make you perfect in every good Work to do his Will working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ to whom be Glory for ever Amen I subscribe my self your most Affectionate tho' Unworthy Servant for Christ's sake ELIAS KEACH From my Study in Blew-Anchor-Alley Bunhill-Fields on the 11th of the second Month 1696.
