mercy_n to_o the_o child_n of_o men._n and_o that_o more_o especial_o when_o we_o sing_v the_o song_n of_o angel_n or_o inspire_a man_n or_o those_o holy_a rapture_n of_o good_a man_n wherein_o god_n

same_o time_n that_o we_o confess_v our_o faith_n show_v that_o we_o be_v please_v with_o it_o when_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o psalm_n and_o well_o choose_v hymn_n we_o ascribe_v the_o honour_n due_a unto_o his_o name_n and_o thus_o offer_v he_o the_o best_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n if_o the_o bare_a matter_n of_o our_o praise_n when_o attentive_o read_v be_v so_o very_o apt_a

raise_v your_o idea_n by_o a_o just_a representation_n of_o the_o subject_a that_o lie_v before_o he_o if_o his_o matter_n be_v great_a and_o majestic_a his_o harmony_n rise_v proportionable_o with_o

and_o performer_n have_v exact_o do_v their_o part_n how_o much_o must_v our_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o how_o much_o have_v they_o now_o be_v lift_v up_o with_o these_o heavenly_a acclamation_n how_o much_o must_v our_o joy_n be_v enlarge_v how_o much_o have_v they_o be_v enlarge_v whilst_o we_o have_v all_o join_v together_o either_o in_o heart_n or_o voice_n to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v our_o

conclude_v see_v what_o i_o have_v hitherto_o lay_v down_o relate_v chief_o to_o the_o external_a part_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o the_o mode_n and_o circumstance_n of_o perform_v it_o this_o give_v we_o a_o good_a account_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o constitution_n that_o belong_v to_o these_o and_o also_o suggest_v to_o we_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o mind_n more_o the_o substance_n of_o what_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n than_o the_o manner_n of_o its_o performance_n this_o be_v very_o requisite_a in_o every_o duty_n and_o more_o especial_o in_o our_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o if_o we_o want_v that_o inward_a frame_n of_o spirit_n and_o that_o attention_n that_o be_v the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o they_o we_o be_v only_o please_v ourselves_o and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o determine_v what_o sort_n of_o worship_n this_o it_o to_o be_v account_v our_o apostle_n require_v the_o melody_n of_o heart_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v sing_v with_o grace_n unto_o the_o lord_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o attend_v to_o what_o be_v do_v that_o we_o may_v not_o incurt_v the_o hypocrite_n doom_n who_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n with_o their_o lip_n when_o their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o second_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o divine_a music_n in_o god_n worship_n may_v contribute_v to_o our_o spiritual_a improvement_n this_o give_v we_o just_a occasion_n to_o blame_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o have_v frame_v and_o contrive_v her_o praise_n more_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o man_n than_o of_o god_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o she_o have_v lock_v up_o the_o few_o sound_a piece_n of_o devotion_n remain_v in_o their_o breviary_n in_o a_o language_n not_o understand_v by_o the_o generality_n of_o their_o people_n possible_o they_o may_v please_v the_o ear_n of_o the_o people_n more_o than_o we_o do_v we_o but_o their_o heart_n can_v never_o be_v affect_v and_o if_o so_o they_o be_v do_v but_o one_o half_a of_o their_o duty_n they_o be_v do_v nothing_o that_o concern_v the_o more_o substantial_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n who_o be_v a_o spirit_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n three_o if_o the_o use_v and_o practice_n of_o church-music_n be_v of_o such_o long_a stand_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o voice_n and_o instrument_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o to_o promote_v the_o edification_n of_o his_o people_n this_o show_v we_o the_o unjust_a exception_n the_o dissenter_n take_v against_o our_o way_n of_o worship_n make_v it_o to_o be_v popish_a and_o superstitious_a and_o what_o not_o not_o consider_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o those_o excellent_a office_n of_o praise_n i_o mean_v our_o hymn_n be_v practise_v long_o before_o popery_n be_v in_o be_v and_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o adorn_v they_o with_o good_a music_n this_o i_o presume_v be_v no_o fault_n however_o i_o can_v wish_v for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o will_v come_v to_o our_o church_n and_o try_v whether_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n or_o not_o and_o than_o it_o may_v be_v hope_v we_o may_v keep_v they_o there_o at_o least_o give_v they_o no_o just_a cause_n to_o forsake_v our_o assembly_n four_o and_o to_o conclude_v see_v these_o usage_n of_o our_o church_n have_v a_o great_a tendency_n to_o far_a our_o spiritual_a improvement_n this_o show_v what_o great_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o stick_v firm_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n and_o to_o adhere_v to_o the_o model_n of_o our_o first_o reformer_n who_o have_v discover_v their_o wisdom_n and_o piety_n in_o nothing_o more_o than_o in_o the_o happy_a choice_n of_o those_o office_n that_o be_v design_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o because_o our_o frail_a state_n be_v such_o that_o we_o can_v never_o hope_v in_o this_o life_n to_o do_v it_o so_o perfect_o as_o we_o ought_v let_v our_o constitution_n be_v never_o so_o complete_a however_o let_v we_o accustom_v ourselves_o to_o this_o divine_a work_n here_o to_o the_o utmost_a extent_n of_o our_o faculty_n that_o we_o may_v with_o the_o bless_a saint_n and_o
