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.

second_o that_o no_o humane_a prescribe_v or_o precompose_v form_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o gospel-prayer_n or_o sing_v appear_v from_o the_o ministration_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n by_o the_o gospel_n first_o the_o gospel_n convey_v the_o spirit_n as_o paul_n say_v who_o also_o have_v make_v we_o able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o of_o the_o

because_o the_o law_n be_v not_o spiritual_a and_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o transcribe_v in_o the_o letter_n but_o one_a because_o the_o law_n require_v perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o letter_n on_o

gospel-ministration_n which_o be_v in_o spirit_n for_o we_o be_v the_o circumcision_n which_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v no_o confidence_n in_o the_o flesh_n viz._n in_o the_o formal_a and_o carnal_a ordinance_n of_o the_o law_n and_o much_o less_o in_o the_o humane_a precomposed_a form_n of_o men._n 3_o because_o the_o law_n do_v not_o minister_v nor_o convey_v the_o

and_o for_o ever_o here_o the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v convey_v throughout_o all_o generation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n by_o the_o covenant_n or_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o none_o can_v say_v that_o the_o word_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v in_o his_o mouth_n be_v a_o humane_a prescribe_a form_n but_o as_o christ_n himself_o say_v 6.63_o john_n 6.63_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v spirit_n and_o they_o be_v life_n so_o the_o same_o word_n proceed_v from_o we_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n in_o opposition_n to_o humane_a and_o legal_a form_n which_o reject_v and_o deny_v the_o sufficient_a successive_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_o manifest_a that_o the_o
