i_o can_v forget_v and_o pass_v over_o with_o silence_n that_o part_n of_o god_n service_n which_o though_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_a in_o it_o own_o nature_n acceptable_a unto_o god_n house_n there_o aught_o to_o be_v sing_v of_o psalm_n in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o man_n house_n and_o comfortable_a to_o ourselves_o yet_o it_o be_v final_o regard_v every_o where_o and_o that_o be_v the_o

that_o it_o be_v one_o piece_n of_o god_n public_a worship_n and_o the_o discipline_n of_o our_o church_n be_v such_o through_o god_n mercy_n that_o the_o psalm_n be_v sing_v in_o many_o place_n after_o a_o plain_a distinct_a and_o profitable_a manner_n and_o may_v be_v every_o where_n if_o man_n will_v yet_o man_n content_v themselves_o with_o that_o and_o be_v not_o mindful_a to_o sing_v at_o home_n by_o themselves_o alone_o or_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o houshoulde_n but_o content_v themselves_o that_o this_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n have_v no_o care_n to_o bring_v

find_v not_o only_o a_o great_a many_o which_o do_v general_o concern_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o therefore_o be_v most_o fit_a to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o common_a assembly_n but_o also_o a_o great_a number_n which_o do_v most_o fit_o agree_v with_o the_o private_a condition_n of_o the_o several_a member_n of_o the_o church_n estate_n to_o this_o end_n be_v there_o such_o

sing_v that_o so_o all_o excuse_n may_v just_o be_v take_v away_o from_o they_o that_o have_v no_o care_n of_o this_o holy_a duty_n and_o if_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o such_o psalm_n as_o do_v
