of_o instrumental_a music_n 2._o that_o hereby_o he_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o himself_o 3._o he_o attribute_n this_o to_o calvin_n intemperate_a heat_n and_o passion_n 1._o he_o assert_v bold_o that_o calvin_n approve_v of_o instrumental_a music_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o before_o cite_v passage_n but_o alas_o what_o do_v that_o passage_n make_v to_o our_o author_n purpose_n his_o province_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o calvin_n own_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o evangelic_n dispensation_n but_o do_v the_o forequote_v passage_n out_o of_o calvin_n warrant_v he_o to_o make_v such_o a_o conclusion_n no_o such_o matter_n for_o calvin_n only_o commend_v david_n for_o make_v use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o his_o solemn_a and_o public_a devotion_n according_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o be_v all_o can_v be_v rational_o deduce_v from_o that_o citation_n so_o that_o because_o calvin_n commend_v and_o applaud_v david_n for_o the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o sacred_a solemnity_n under_o the_o legal_a oeconomy_n therefore_o calvin_n approve_v of_o the_o use_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o music_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n it_o be_v a_o consequence_n which_o will_v not_o easy_o gain_v the_o assent_n of_o consider_v person_n some_o thing_n which_o be_v commendable_a as_o do_v by_o david_n then_o may_v not_o be_v commendable_a as_o do_v by_o christian_n now_o shall_v any_o one_o commend_v david_n for_o dance_v in_o his_o praise_v of_o god_n therefore_o will_v it_o be_v logical_a or_o reasonable_a thence_o to_o infer_v that_o such_o a_o person_n commend_v the_o use_n of_o dance_v in_o the_o praise_v of_o god_n now_o it_o will_v be_v a_o intolerable_a nonsequitur_a 2._o our_o author_n say_v too_o that_o calvin_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o himself_o in_o other_o place_n that_o calvin_n in_o other_o place_n speak_v against_o the_o use_n of_o instrumental_a music_n in_o the_o sacred_a assembly_n of_o christian_n i_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a for_o say_v he_o on_o exod._n 15.20_o musica_fw-la instrumenta_fw-la etc._n etc._n instrumental_a music_n be_v to_o be_v reckon_v in_o the_o number_n of_o legal_a ceremony_n which_o christ_n have_v abolish_v by_o his_o come_n whereas_o now_o we_o must_v retain_v a_o gospel_n

appear_v that_o he_o very_o well_o agree_v with_o himself_o as_o to_o the_o legal_a dispensation_n he_o approve_v of_o instrumental_a music_n under_o it_o but_o under_o the_o evangelical_n oeconomy_n he_o dislike_v it_o and_o declare_v against_o it_o here_o be_v nothing_o of_o inconsistency_n but_o what_o our_o author_n have_v advance_v against_o he_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o reason_n i_o wonder_v what_o possess_v our_o author_n when_o he_o drop_v this_o passage_n that_o he_o shall_v charge_v calvin_n with_o inconsistency_n when_o as_o there_o appear_v not_o the_o least_o colour_n for_o such_o a_o accusation_n but_o some_o man_n have_v such_o a_o pique_n at_o calvin_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o ill_a nature_n or_o education_n i_o can_v say_v that_o if_o they_o can_v find_v fault_n in_o he_o they_o will_v make_v some_o and_o then_o he_o must_v be_v charge_v as_o inconsistent_a with_o himself_o etc._n etc._n 3._o but_o this_o pretend_a inconsistency_n he_o ascribe_v to_o his_o intemperate_a heat_n and_o passion_n 1._o this_o be_v not_o so_o much_o like_o a_o christian_a at_o every_o turn_n to_o be_v publish_v of_o man_n fault_n and_o infirmity_n he_o may_v have_v omit_v that_o bitter_a reflection_n without_o any_o detriment_n to_o his_o cause_n or_o argument_n the_o music_n of_o a_o organ_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n to_o calm_a the_o mind_n and_o allay_v the_o passion_n if_o you_o will_v believe_v our_o author_n whence_o i_o suspect_v that_o he_o be_v somewhat_o remote_a from_o his_o charm_a organ_n when_o he_o pen_v this_o passage_n
