A79839	A short and full vindication of that sweet and comfortable ordinance, of singing of Psalmes. Together with some profitable rules, to direct weak Christians how to sing to edification. And a briefe confutation of some of the most usual cavils made against the same. Published especially for the use of the Christians, in and about the town of Wramplingham in Norf. for the satisfaction of such, as scruple the said ordinance, for the establishment of such as do own it, against all seducers that come amongst them; and for the instruction of all in general, that they may better improve the same to their spiritual comfort and benefit. / By Io. Clapham, M.A. and minister of Christ there.	Clapham, Jonathan.	1656 (1656)	Wing C4410; Thomason E896_8; ESTC R206682	7,168	8

they_o in_o sing_v david_n psalm_n which_o the_o jew_n use_v to_o do_v 2_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o read_v not_o of_o any_o other_o psalm_n use_v by_o they_o which_o may_v have_v be_v

be_v it_o to_o sing_v david_n psalm_n since_o sing_v be_v a_o duty_n than_o psalm_n of_o any_o private_a man_n composure_n the_o experience_n we_o have_v in_o these_o time_n of_o those_o psalm_n that_o some_o have_v take_v on_o they_o to_o compose_v and_o to_o sing_v in_o the_o congregation_n may_v easy_o persuade_v we_o to_o prefer_v david_n psalm_n before_o such_o whimsy_n etc._n etc._n
