In the first place are bound up my own composed Psalms and in the little print they are commonly the second metres 2. In the second place are bound up all the old Psalms by me amended and in the little print they are commonly the first meter but whither so or no they are referred unto and the title tels what metre they are 3. In the last place follow the Psalms composed by my self and others and they are commonly of choicer tunes viz. Ye children c. O Lord consider c. and in the little print are alwaies the first metre as the title doth also refer 4. The Collects must be alwaies looked for after the meters Note also that all the Psalms may be sung in one of these 5 well known tunes viz. the 119 the 67 the 100 the 113 the 148 but only such as the fift ps. I. m. and the 17. 2 Coll. which go sweetly in a part of the 113. 148 as the first second metres of the 117 Ps. in the smaller print do shew by musick notes Only remember in those of my first impression in this book to read two lines into one wherever you meet with but 4 syllables in a line as in the eight Psalm Note also that the old Psalms done by me are printed in greater letter then the rest those for the present I specially commend for the publick use of which those that are entire Psalms or entire parts may be sung without offence while others keep to their old Mumpsimus Do you not know that somewhere the Dutch French and English sing one and the same Psalm in their severall languages because the measures and tunes differ not Lastly know that there are ready to be added to these impressions at least 40 more of the old Psalms whereof the 119 is one and in the old tunes and divers hymns are also ready to be added when it shall please God to give the Authour incouragement by the Houses allowance of them in publique And here follows a taste of each to incite thee to desire them Accept this staffe to make up the 10 part of the 119 Psal. doubt not but all the rest shall be done as well Psal. 119. ver. 79. 80.
