music_n in_o god_n service_n be_v the_o jewish_a practice_n none_o can_v deny_v that_o christian_n do_v derive_v this_o from_o they_o be_v very_o evident_a for_o beside_o the_o example_n of_o the_o

when_o the_o inspiration_n last_v 1_o cor._n 14.26_o and_o they_o be_v enjoin_v to_o teach_v and_o admonish_v one_o another_o in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n col._n 3.16_o thus_o the_o jew_n have_v mizmor_n a_o concise_a verse_n call_v here_o a_o psalm_n tehillah_n praise_v which_o be_v here_o the_o hymn_n and_o shir_n a_o canticle_n which_o be_v here_o require_v to_o be_v spiritual_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sensual_a song_n and_o drollery_n of_o the_o heathen_n in_o their_o bacchanalia_fw-la and_o they_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o most_o ancient_a church-writer_n
