all_o that_o he_o have_v take_v out_o of_o my_o book_n and_o cite_v to_o you_o in_o his_o own_o as_o my_o true_a sense_n and_o mean_v first_o i_o shall_v take_v notice_n of_o mr._n benj._n keach_n undue_a citation_n and_o misrepresent_v of_o several_a thing_n public_o to_o the_o world_n to_o the_o great_a abuse_n of_o my_o aforesaid_a book_n concern_v singing_n one_a in_o page_n 12._o the_o

other_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n have_v their_o essence_n in_o our_o spirit_n wherein_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o worship_v god_n without_o verbal_a and_o vocal_a instrument_n of_o the_o

show_v himself_o skilful_a in_o chemistry_n but_o since_o he_o meddle_v with_o divine_a thing_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o trouble_v to_o see_v such_o kind_n of_o word_n use_v that_o no_o body_n know_v what_o to_o make_v of_o they_o and_o be_v we_o not_o as_o capable_a in_o our_o spirit_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o all_o other_o ordinance_n without_o the_o verbal_a or_o vocal_a instrument_n of_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o in_o sing_v without_o voice_n by_o your_o argument_n pag._n 14._o you_o have_v say_v more_o to_o justify_v the_o quaker_n silent_a meeting_n than_o you_o be_v

hereby_o to_o ridicule_n though_o not_o witting_o i_o have_v better_a thought_n of_o you_o the_o whole_a of_o gospel-ordinance_n by_o turn_v they_o into_o a_o thing_n you_o call_v essence_n a_o heart-service_n only_o without_o the_o bodily_a organ_n and_o render_v yourself_o to_o be_v but_o little_o better_a in_o your_o so_o do_v than_o a_o mere_a enthusiast_n rep._n but_o how_o gross_o i_o be_o here_o misrepresent_v an●_n abuse_v by_o mr._n k._n appear_v from_o what_o follow_v pag._n my_o word_n be_v these_o that_o spiritual_a and_o vocal_a se_v be_v use_v in_o the_o primitive_a and_o apostolical_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v undeniable_a and_o that_o such_o spiritual_a singing_n be_v allow_v be_v free_o grant_v and_o after_o my_o name_n of_o the_o first_o head_n to_o be_v treat_v of_o viz._n the_o essence_n of_o sing_v in_o the_o same_o page_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v say_v though_o intelligible_a sing_v for_o teach_v and_o admonish_v other_o can_v be_v without_o the_o use_n of_o the_o organical_a instrument_n of_o the_o voice_n yet_o the_o essence_n or_o be_v of_o sing_v consist_v in_o a_o inward_a spiritual_a exercise_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o mind_n of_o man._n and_o this_o must_v be_v grant_v for_o we_o all_o do_v own_o that_o true_a prayer_n may_v be_v make_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n without_o the_o use_n of_o our_o voice_n otherwise_o we_o deny_v all_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o the_o church_n save_v only_o what_o be_v do_v by_o the_o minister_n and_o exclude_v the_o member_n of_o it_o from_o add_v to_o join_v with_o or_o have_v any_o share_n in_o divine_a worship_n and_o consequent_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v proper_o call_v sin_n that_o be_v only_o in_o the_o inward_a exercise_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o that_o which_o be_v so_o manifest_v by_o word_n or_o deed_n pag._n 6._o and_o then_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o prayer_n and_o afterward_o in_o pag._n 8._o come_v to_o discourse_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o sing_v and_o cite_v 1_v cor._n 14.15_o i_o say_v true_a this_o be_v mean_v of_o vocal_a prayer_n and_o sing_v in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o this_o same_o page_n he_o take_v out_o what_o he_o cite_v unfair_o to_o brand_v i_o with_o as_o justify_v the_o quaker_n silent_a meeting_n and_o turn_v the_o whole_a of_o gospel-ordinance_n into_o a_o heart-service_n only_o a_o thing_n i_o never_o think_v of_o and_o be_o as_o far_o from_o it_o as_o he_o or_o any_o other_o whatsoever_o for_o i_o far_o say_v in_o the_o same_o page_n that_o though_o vocal_a joy_n and_o singing_n may_v be_v teach_v to_o other_o yet_o the_o speak_v to_o gr._n in_o according_a to_o pool_n annot._n before_o cite_v yourselves_o viz._n in_o your_o own_o heart_n in_o psalm_n and_o hymn_n and_o spiritual_a song_n sing_v and_o make_v melody_n in_o your_o heart_n to_o the_o lord_n be_v music_n of_o a_o high_a strain_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n so_o that_o though_o in_o this_o section_n be_v show_v that_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o our_o spirit_n both_o in_o prayer_n and_o praise_n yet_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n from_o hence_o nor_o in_o any_o part_n of_o my_o book_n to_o think_v that_o i_o shall_v intend_v a_o exclusion_n of_o the_o vocal_a exercise_n of_o any_o of_o christ_n ordinance_n in_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o this_o clamour_n rather_o proceed_v from_o his_o passion_n of_o spirit_n with_o the_o badness_n of_o his_o cause_n moreover_o what_o i_o have_v here_o say_v as_o to_o the_o essence_n of_o spiritual_n sing_v be_v secret_o confess_v by_o he_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o appendix_n p._n 42._o where_o he_o say_v of_o sing_v and_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v show_v the_o essence_n of_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o voice_n that_o be_v if_o i_o mistake_v not_o his_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o heart_n like_a as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o voice_n so_o that_o it_o have_v its_o essence_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a and_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o voice_n too_o as_o it_o be_v inward_a spiritual_a and_o vocal_a in_o which_o we_o do_v both_o agree_v but_o because_o i_o find_v so_o much_o of_o his_o discourse_n against_o i_o depend_v on_o the_o parity_n and_o likeness_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o sing_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o preach_v and_o not_o of_o prayer_n which_o he_o acknowledge_v may_v be_v only_o inward_o in_o the_o heart_n p._n 174._o i_o shall_v hear_v treat_v something_o further_o on_o it_o in_o pag._n 14._o he_o say_v the_o essence_n of_o sing_v then_o if_o that_o word_n may_v be_v admit_v lie_v no_o more_o in_o our_o spirit_n than_o the_o essence_n of_o preach_v etc._n etc._n repl._n not_o to_o speak_v of_o their_o compound_v viz._n our_o spirit_n or_o our_o spirit_n and_o voice_n with_o the_o spirit_n and_o word_n of_o god_n i_o shall_v brief_o say_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o difference_n in_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n sing_v and_o preach_v as_o will_v admit_v of_o a_o difference_n in_o their_o essence_n sing_v be_v a_o word_n of_o a_o tune_n and_o musical_a nature_n and_o signification_n
