that_o duty_n of_o sing_v for_o when_o god_n redeem_v his_o people_n out_o of_o the_o captivity_n of_o babel_n not_o only_o their_o heart_n the_o heart_n of_o they_o who_o be_v return_v to_o zion_n

for_o they_o have_v no_o hand_n to_o clap_v yet_o common_a sense_n will_v easy_o tell_v you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mataphor_n either_o in_o clap_v of_o hand_n or_o in_o the_o tree_n if_o tree_n be_v take_v proper_o then_o clap_v of_o hand_n be_v put_v by_o a_o metaphor_n for_o the_o flourish_a fruitfulness_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o field_n which_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o follow_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o church_n in_o such_o abundance_n that_o their_o bough_n and_o branch_n shall_v clap_v and_o dash_v themselves_o and_o their_o fruit_n one_o upon_o another_o whereby_o as_o by_o hand_n they_o reach_v forth_o refresh_v and_o food_n to_o the_o child_n of_o the_o church_n but_o if_o tree_n be_v put_v by_o a_o metaphor_n for_o tree_n of_o
