B04474	Prelimited forms of praising God, vocally sung by all the church together, proved to be no gospel ordinance. In a sober discourse concerning singing. With a large appendix thereunto added, containing several things not treated of before; and wherein the case of singing is more fully opened and discussed in divers principal branches of it: greatly tending to the clearing and confirmation of the truth discoursed of in the former part. / By Isaac Marlow.

gift_n exhort_v to_o covet_v after_o and_o as_o the_o apostle_n give_v we_o a_o example_n by_o his_o own_o endeavour_n to_o press_v after_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o resurrection-state_n and_o we_o be_v also_o as_o strict_o command_v to_o be_v perfect_a 5.48_o mat._n 5.48_o as_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v perfect_a to_o walk_v as_o christ_n walk_v 1.15_o 1_o john_n 2.6_o 1_o

this_o command_n for_o sing_v be_v no_o more_o absolute_a than_o the_o other_o be_v for_o our_o press_v after_o the_o perfection_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o other_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o if_o this_o command_n be_v so_o absolute_a and_o so_o universal_a as_o to_o require_v the_o vocal_a sing_v together_o of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o constant_a worship_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v write_v in_o general_a to_o the_o saint_n at_o ephesus_n and_o coloss_n then_o sure_o those_o positive_a command_n for_o prayer_n which_o be_v more_o universal_o and_o strong_o enjoin_v on_o all_o christian_n may_v be_v say_v to_o require_v their_o vocal_a pray_v together_o for_o we_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v always_o with_o all_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n in_o the_o spirit_n 6.18_o 1_o thess_n 5.17_o ephes_n 6.18_o and_o to_o pray_v without_o cease_v yet_o sure_o you_o will_v not_o say_v from_o these_o exhortation_n because_o they_o be_v general_a to_o the_o saint_n of_o ephesus_n and_o to_o the_o church_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n must_v vocal_o pray_v together_o or_o that_o woman_n shall_v pray_v at_o all_o vocal_o in_o the_o church_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n from_o the_o text_n or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o this_o epistle_n or_o from_o any_o other_o word_n of_o god_n why_o those_o exhortation_n for_o sing_v shall_v include_v the_o woman_n and_o all_o the_o church_n more_o than_o the_o other_o do_v for_o prayer_n but_o some_o may_v object_v and_o say_v that_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n be_v for_o teach_v and_o admonish_v of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v continue_v as_o part_v of_o the_o constant_a worship_n of_o god_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v 1._o that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v this_o argument_n serviceable_a to_o prove_v the_o constant_a use_n of_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n it_o will_v be_v equal_o serviceable_a to_o prove_v the_o constant_a use_n of_o spiritual_a song_n for_o all_o three_o be_v alike_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o text_n for_o teach_v and_o admonish_v and_o if_o you_o will_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o a_o successive_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n by_o his_o immediate_a dictate_v for_o spiritual_a song_n which_o some_o do_v though_o other_o do_v not_o why_o be_v there_o not_o as_o much_o reason_n to_o grant_v a_o necessity_n for_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n for_o to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n be_v primary_o set_v forth_o as_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o three_o which_o be_v his_o fruit_n and_o effect_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o deny_v a_o necessity_n of_o the_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o any_o one_o or_o two_o of_o they_o more_o than_o for_o the_o other_o and_o than_o if_o all_o three_o be_v from_o a_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n there_o be_v a_o exclusion_n of_o humane_a precomposed_a stint_a form_n but_o though_o i_o thus_o argue_v to_o clear_v the_o truth_n from_o these_o objection_n yet_o i_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o as_o respect_v their_o composure_n by_o the_o special_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o of_o their_o manner_n of_o delivery_n in_o the_o gospel-church_n for_o all_o three_o be_v
