reasonable soul and humane flesh subsisting Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead and inferiour to the father touching his manhood Who although he be God and man yet he is not two but one Christ. Due not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh but by taking of the manhood into God Due altogether not by confusion of substance but by unitie of person For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man so God and man is one Christ. Who suffered for our salvation des●●nded into hell rose again the third day from the dead He ascended into heaven he sitteth on the right hand of the father God almighty from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil into everlasting fire This is the Catholick faith which except a man beleeve faithfully he cannot be saved Glory be to the father and to the Son c.

But this custom was onely peculiar to the Latine Church as for the Syriak and Greek Churches which as Mr Brerewood assures us conformed much in their rites they divided it so as it was not read over but every twenty dayes Our Church being loath that hir service should seem over-prolix allottteth to it one moneth or thirty dayes the very Tearm the Turks assign for their Alcoran a wonder she hath not forthat very reason been suspected as inclining to Mahumetism Though the Psalter be here appointed to be read yet must it be interpreted according to the ancient practise that is by way of responce the Priest one verse and the people another as Moses and Miriam sang their triumphant hymn Exod. 15. 1 21. The people alwayes bare a part in these psalms else the Venite were to little purpose though the mode did sometimes vary 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 one while ecchoing all together with the Priest 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 another while returning by way of Antiphones as Philo of his Essenes Sometimes answering 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the same Philo calls them or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as Clemens the Acrosticks extremities or feet of the verses oe else repeating the same again as it is supposed by Musculus and Calvin the Apostles did to our Saviour at his last hymn if so then we have an earlier president upon whom to fix it then either Platina's Damasus or Theodoret's Flavian and Dioscorus or Socrates ' his Ignatius But not to enqure into its first original which is uncertain let us rest and acquiesce in what is and must be granted that it was of Catholick practise in the primitive times St. Basil speaks for the East and St. Ambrose for the West In duas partes divisi alternatim sibi invicem canunt saith the first of the Christians of his age Disposed into two divisions they sing by course one to another Ecclesia stridet responsoriis Psalmorum saith the second The Temple roares and rings again with the responsories of the Psalms Now whereas counter to this the 15. Canon of a great Councel may be opposed which ordaineth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 That none but the Canons or singing men of the Church which ascend up into the Pulpit and sing out of the Parchment should presume to sing in the Church Balsamon the great Canonist interpreteth the minde of the Fathers to be onely this that none of the people as it seemeth some had done before should undertake to begin or set the Psalmes but that it should be left to singers alone 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for to sing in consort with the rest of the Quire the people are not interdicted by the Church This is Balsamons sense of this Canon I am rather prone to conceive that the Councel did intend a restreint upon the people from singing in consort that none should sing the body of the Psalm but the Canonical singers and that the people should onely return 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the extremities and ends of the verses as is said before for so doth Balsamons own Chrysostome represent the practise of his times 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. he who singeth singeth alone and though all the Congregation Eccho out the close of the verse the voice and sound seemeth to proceed as from one mouth Somewhat correspondent hereunto was that which Antiquity called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which answered the Hebrew Selah For where in the Psalmist there occurreth Selah in the original there the Septuagint Theodotion and Symmachus constantly render it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the word importing as St. Hierom conceiveth a connexion of antecedent and subsequent matter together the mode whereof St. Augustine tells us was for the Reader to bear his part and the people theirs Aliquando saith the Father in Psalmo 142. versus ipse in Diapsalmate ponitur qui praeeatur à lectore respondeatur à populo Sometimes in the 142. Psa. the verse it self is set after the fashion of a Dia-Psalm so that it may be begun by the Reader and returned by the people By the way take notice that here instead of Praeeatur the Froben edition that of Paris and others also as I conceive read Praebeatur which signifieth nothing and destroyes St. Augustines sense Praeeatur it must certainly be according to that usual form so often mentioned in Livy Agedum Pontifex publicus praei verba solemnia But to return to my former matter The truth is no uniform usage can be concluded out of the Primitive Fathers in this particular St. Hierom observing that there were Tot pene psallentium chori quot gentium diversitates As many different modes of singing as there were variety of Nations Except the Books and Chapters which be least edifying The Books omitted are the Chronicles Canticles Revelation and almost all Leviticus whereof two Chapters onely are reteined The Chapters are too numerous to set down if any please to examine them they will appear such as are as little edifying as the Bookes omitted and to omit what is in edifying
